If they are red or have the red stripe I'll take 'em if Silky doesn't

Any further news mate?

gutted for you mate, but the leathers, lights and some other parts will get sold at very good prices...id get the car back, it will be worth your while.

as for the 182, nice car but im guessing your insurance will have gone through the roof because of this & thats a step up from a gti.

Sorry to hear about your car, but as others say the main thing is that you are ok. Looks like it was a nasty impact.

And for those who said about the T-Cut - you'd probably need a PC to get some of those scratches out as they seem a little deep

That leather CANNOT be crushed!!!

They wont just crush your car, as you still own the thing till the insurance company have done all the paper work and payed out, then its there's unless you buy back.

The insurance company won't crush it either, it will get sold to a scrappy and parts sold therein.

As for taking 4 weeks, be prepared to wait longer! it had an accident and it got fixed pretty quick, although i had to wait around a tear for my compo claim to come through! You dont just get a cheque right away.

Also don't be daft and accept the first offer the gave you! do research on your car, the milage etc, the mechanics of it! the condition, and regardless what the said about the box it will come into the equastion! if you went to sell the car the box has been done and would not loose on that, where as if it didn't and the buyer was in the know they would knock money off.

End of it is, have pics of how the car was, the condition and the current market value! not what you think you would get! ie round websites, that aint on! and laughable for them! ie parkers guide etc, and various other guides, and phone round garages to see what trade price you would get etc. In ESSANCE DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!

just heard from the insurance today, there willing to pay me out 4500 for the polo. which i think is pritty good considering the millage and the age!

the only thing is, the excess was 400 and the outstanding finance was 1700 so that only leaves me with 2100

oh well, better than a kick in the nuts!! as for buying it back, shes gonna let me know with details!

Ah that sucks. Well at least things are getting sorted pretty quickly!

Let us know whether you buy it back
