ZEUS Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I've had similar with motorbikes, bought brand new a few months earlier, it was written off and they offered bottom book price on it. I got a list of the same model/year bikes for sale and they did then increase their offer so get some prices of a similar zed and haggle with them!

JetSet Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Well just so everyone know it's now officially a write off. . . . . . Jeez, what a nightmare. Cars get written off far too easily these days, I can remember when they would replace entire body shells. Ludicrously high labour charges, greedy part manufacturers and the CAT scaling all put paid to that. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Thats no little scrape. I'll bet both nuts that its written off especially if airbags have gone off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Thats no little scrape. I'll bet both nuts that its written off especially if airbags have gone off I see you've read the thread where you can safely make that promise It reminds me of the story about the rugby fan who said he'd castrate himself if his team won (Wales I think). They did indeed win and he kept his promise EDIT: hers the source http://www.shortnews.com/start.cfm?id=45964 Well at least that took potential idiots out of the gene pool wtf!

I wonder which book they get their prices out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I'm from the trade.. Most repairers/insurance companies would write this off but its certainly repairable.. New door, quarter, potential inner quarter repair, new sill, potential new inner sill or sill repair and get 4 wheel alignment check for suspension damage check..
