Write off or not? What do people think? Gutted isn't the word!!!

[Easty]

Just happened today when a woman didn't stop at a mini roundabout. . . . .

Gutted doesn't even come near to how I feel :'-(

 

 

 

[Easty]

Pictures don't do the damage justice. . . .

It's worse in life, airbags went off and re passenger door won't even open!!

 

[Mrs Buster]

Ouch!!!!!!!!!! Bloody women drivers

[AndyG8nby]

Gutted for you mate! I know how I would feel! As for a write off it prob down to the damage you can't see!

[The Chubby Ninja]

Gutted for you mate. I'm sure wasso had similar damage and it was repairable. Hope you get it sorted out

By looking at it is fixable, but insurance company is more likely to write it off.

I remember seeing RT performance fixing a similarly damage car.

Sorry to see this though

Sad to see an Azure in that state. Pictures don't look too bad but as you say don't know the whole story until you get under it!

 

Fingers crossed its fixable.

gutted for you m8.hate reading these posts. ......going to say its a write off due to air bags etc and panel work/labour costs....stucks m8

[cmck13]

You need it checking out, clearly its an insurance job paid from the woman's side it certainly does not look like a write off to me but you can't tell from a photo.

[KyleR]

I agree with the others, write off despite it being repairable. If you get decent money for it might be worth buying back to fix.

[WhackyWill]

That's sad mate, gutted for you, but sh1T happens. It may be a write off, it will be a cat D or C anyway

 

so get the full pay out, buy it back for a £1k or so and get it repaired and enjoy it.

[glrnet]

Sh!t

[aidan]

As long as no one was hurt......cars can be fixed, or a new one bought.

To me it looks like a write off esp with airbags and such needing replacing.

[Wasso]

You're looking at a fair cost to be fair. The rear quarter panel is something like £600+ can't remember the price.

 

I was lucky not to have any structural damage and just cosmetic, but still cost me a fortune!!

 

Airbags could be the insurance decider to be fair.

 

Here was my damage.

 

 

 

[GMballistic]

Sorry to read this Easty. Glad you weren't hurt though.

 

Definitely going to have nightmares tonight now.

[MITZ@CougarStore]

Sorry to see this, as the air bags have deployed they may well write it off...

[chirag1988]

Really sorry to hear this mate. From the looks of it insurance may write it off unfortunately. It's a real shame to see this happen to a zed

[Ebized]

Really sorry for you

[Dynamic Turtle]

Guess the insurance co will write it off, even for a little scrape like that. I doubt it would cost much to fix out of your own pocket if you have the time to find the components/panels yourself through breakers and had a cheap local shop work on it for you. Three panels + 3-4 airbags? <£2k inc labour?

 

You might find the hit you take on a cat C/D classification is less than the cost of repairing it outside the insurance policy?

Gutted for you mate. More so it wasn't your fault. I'd err to the side of write off I think due to the extent of the damage.

 

Hopefully the insurance settle on a reasonable amount for you. Will you replace it with another Zed if its total loss?

[hensh65]

Shocker mate, I think it looks like a hefty insurance job! Gutted for you.

[samsniss350z]

Ouch that looks painfull, only glad nobody was hurt. Would it be fair to say that there's a possibility it could be a cat C or D?

[ZEUS]

Airbags have gone off , I'd be amazed if they don't write it off mate . Real shame too

[RS8055]

Wow.. really sorry to see/hear about this! As said by numerous others, airbags will no doubt be the decider!

[Paddy78]

As others have said, totally gutted for you mate! Fingers crossed you get it sorted on insurance!
