arizona Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Fingers crossed, but i'd be very surprised if it was economically repairable I'd be most surprised if he thought it was, pretty much foregone conclusion that its a gonner unfortunately, hopefully i'm not too disappointed with what they think its worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsmith79 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I fear you will have to fight for a good payout, best bet is to scour ebay, autotrader, free ads and print off all cars in a similar condition and mileage to yours, then if they do offer you £200 you can send them all the ones you found (at the higher end of the price scale of course) and hopefully get a better payout I'm also assuming you declared it had after market wheels and a GT4 bonnet when you got it insured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
