Title: Car's fucked. Post by: herthab on Sunday, January 7, 2007, 12:36:18 Involved in a three car pile up yesterday morning on the way to swindon.
Think the car's gonna be written off by the insurance company. Probably get only a few hundred quid off them...... What a shit weekend...... Title: Car's fucked. Post by: Batch on Sunday, January 7, 2007, 12:47:52 Presumably you are OK though?
It is a pain in the arse, expensive, etc. But at the end of the day it's a just a car and could have been a lot worse. Title: Car's fucked. Post by: Miles Mayhem on Sunday, January 7, 2007, 12:48:48 shit every thing still in place?
Title: Car's fucked. Post by: Sussex on Sunday, January 7, 2007, 12:50:56 Bloody hell Hertha, it's not been a good week for you vehicle wise!
Hope you're all ok. Title: Car's fucked. Post by: herthab on Sunday, January 7, 2007, 12:52:18 I managed to limp the car to my lads in swindon, then went by coach to palace.
The problem is that I won't get enough from the insurers to buy another car, which I need to get to swindon to see my lad and watch the footy. Which means getting another fucking loan.... What's the point of insurance firms asking you the value of your car, if they never give you anywhere near the amount you put on it? Fucking leeches. Title: Car's fucked. Post by: Arriba on Sunday, January 7, 2007, 13:25:50 you can pick up a fairly decent run about for a few hundred quid if you look about.

But if it's a write off why'd you involve the insurance company? Title: Car's fucked.

In Luxembourg apparently if a car is written off, the insurance company pay out the value of the car when it was brand new. Not sure if this is true or not but insurance over here is pretty expensive. Title: Car's fucked. Post by: herthab on Sunday, January 7, 2007, 20:48:54 Quote from: "dave_m_russell" Hope you're OK. But if it's a write off why'd you involve the insurance company? Cos I'm fully comp and they'll give me what they feel was the value of the car before the crash. Title: Car's fucked. Post by: TalkTalk on Sunday, January 7, 2007, 21:47:37 Sorry about your crash Steve.
You sound ok though which is the main thing. I have this feeling that I have jinxed you with things four wheeled. :( Title: Car's fucked.

I think that you should gather some autotrader/dealer advert evidence so that you can reject there fist offer with good reason should it be too low. Title: Car's fucked.
