Rob Dublin Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Bad luck fella, once you're ok everything else is replacable. On the up side, plenty of Supras available at the minute. Good time to have cash and be buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Cue the vultures.....! I was going to find out the damage and offer to repair it, as the insurers will write it off for siily amounts of damage. If he likes the car enough it may be worth buying back and getting it repaired;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexJames Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Im sorry to hear that mate... just for your interest maybe, i was in a silly little accident (parked in a wall) they wrote it off for something stupid like over 4k worth of damage, i brought it back and repaired it for alot less... worth thinkin about. If not, sorry for your loss, but like many others have said, least your health is still in good shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Sorry to hear that, lost my last BM due to a careless lady driver If it was another parties fault, shouldn't they repair it as long as it's not unsafe to do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erol_h Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 She hit into my door and along the rear damage the rear quarter slighty and my wheel. The car needs a new door, new rear spat, repair alloy, respray all of the rear and roof but the b1tch of it as the door was hit it smacked into the door frame slightly denting it and cracking the paint around it. Im not to botherd it being written off i was looking to sell so it saves me the hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hard luck mate... I have been there myself and can appreciate the frustration. Your options to save the car will be either cancel claim (which I did!) or see how much you will get and how much they will want for you to buy the car back and repair it yourself. Should these not be suitable options, I'd shout louder until the money they give you for the value of vehicle is more acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erol_h Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 The only annoying this ive been getting pains in my neck which are really uncomfortable they come and go it feels like some one suddenly grabs and squeezes the muscle in my neck which fooking hurts.

Homer Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Im not to botherd it being written off i was looking to sell so it saves me the hassle. So provided you get the price it's not all bad then - on the plus side, no sales hassle! If you are not at fault now would be the right time to involve an accident management company. Pig on here is a specialist in this field and has helped many people here in the past. Another supra up for parts, for people like me that's actually good news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking time of work is a absolute no as i run a family business and my family depend on me alot so have to take the pain. That my friend is whiplash, get to a doctor to get it checked out! Normally its where you have ripped your soft tissue on your neck, normally takes 6 months to heal. My neck is still healing and its at the end of the process because it keeps clicking everytime I move it after not moving it for 10 mins. Oh you can get compensate for this as well dude!

erol_h Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 I dont feel too bad because i wanted a manual sup so gona wait for a few months and then see what i can get. The only annoying thing is the battle with the stupid b1tch that hit me as she claims that i shouldn't of been in that lane she cant exit from the left lane and that she always exits from the middle lane. She tried to lecture me like she was my mum the cheek of it i just told her to shut the f*ck up and just give me her details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
