The Seasider Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Sorry to see a zed in a state of distress. Although it looks poorly from what I can see it should all come back together - looks like 2 wings and a door skin - insurance companies seem to insist on new parts being used throughout though which may make the figures look a bit hairy when it's all totted up. Bloooody annoying however. Good look with the repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richy Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 thanks for the support everyone, to be fair to her its an awkward junction as the traffic coming from what would have been her left can't be seen too well as there's a bridge i think she was turning right and was too busy looking left and just didn't see me, couldn't get angry at her as what's done is done and she was clearly as upset as me, its in the hands of the insurance company (admiral) now, who have already confirmed that it's 100% her fault and will be providing me with a hire car as soon as possible at the other insurers expense as mine is not drivable Good attitude. Hope you are back on the road soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Sorry to see it mate Hope you get it sorted mate - amazed at how much damage you got considering the damage to hers. Good luck with it When I crashed my focus into back of a skyline years and years ago... His rear end was like a meter shorter... All I had is cracked fog light and bumper mesh fell out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Looks pretty bad and I've a feeling it'll be written off because of the rear quarter damage in particular. Thats not all bad news, though, you can always buy it back and fix it with the left over money and still have enough left over for a nice holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) It looks a lot worse than it is. The front fender and door skin new £350. The most expensive part new is the rear quarter panel. at about £550 Paint approx £300 a panel. I am guessing the wheel is ok? £2k should cover providing there is no structural damage. But you can save by buying 2nd hand parts. Which could reduce the price to about £15-£1600 A few cars being broken in the for sale section I believe.

kbeast35 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 i hope not too to be honest but if it is i will be trying to buy it back anyway, will just have to wait and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comrade Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 If it is a write-off, which it most probably is because of what was already said about insurance prices, do this. Wait for them to come back to you with an offer, tell them to $%&%^*£$^%, wait for a second offer, do the same, wait for a third offer, reluctantly accept it as if you were making them a big favour, buy parts from scrappies, paint/not paint them at sensible prices. If you do it properly it is extremely likely that you will come out of this better off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Trouser Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 So sad to hear this - even more so because its not your fault. Best wishes for a happy outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGT4 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 if 'no fault' then let an accident managment company handle the claim - regardless of cost your car won't be written off and the cost of a courtesy car is claimed against the third party if you let the insurance company assess it and they label it a write off then that marker will stick with the car even if you decide to go down the AM route later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
