Does that mean that you have come to an agreement with the insurance company?

Yes David, eventually.

 

They were awful to deal with, absolutely shocking and it took two formal complaints to get anywhere with them. 

I think things might've been different if the car had been recovered and then stored in a yard, instead of me bringing it home.

Been quite stressful, so glad it's over.

 

Thanks.

At least it's over and you can have a think about your options over winter.

Interestingly, initially they wanted £1000 to keep the car, however by the end they wanted just over £5300.

Its fixable but I can't see them getting £5300 for it.

Yip, 💯 

 

And If you can't see the value in it, I wonder who did.

I'm gobsmacked....

Holy crap! Can't be anyone on here then can it?

 

Maybe someone who already has a chassis and will do all the work themselves is all I can think of.

Unlikely there'd be 2 of those bidding each other up though.....

[Naranja_Al]

Or someone that is gonna bodge the repair and move the car on quickly……

[Flying Carrot Steve]

 

Or somebody who can do a proper job but sell it with a big price, like maybe Toybox or someone with that kind of good reputation?
