supra-alex Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 say worth £9500 how much damage in £ would it take. what would be the market value of a black uk tt 1993 L reg, standard 89,000 on the clock with full service history records. Someone i know crashed his into a wall on wet road, basically he's waiting on inspection for: Intercooler (not confirmed) Bonnet Front Bumper 2 complete headlight sets drivers door d/s rearview mirror both front fenders grille everything else to fit the front inc that steel impact bar which is hanging off. the condition of the chassis is unknown at the time of writing. he is with elephant, surely they'd rather spend 5k rather than writing it off for £9k ? wouldn't they ? I appreciate any response from those with unwanted experience !! thanks alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 for insurance purposes, sounds like a write-off to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 If he's with Elephant I'm afraid he's in for interesting times, I speak from experience! When my Aerotop met its maker, I'd paid 16k for it 8 months previously. They offered 8k. Had to fight to get it more......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Being honest, its a write off for sure. Wheels OK? Suspension, Inner wings? Need's jigging? Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 The 95 auto TT I'm stripping ATM was similar sort of damage and was written off. [vulture mode on] Can I have first dibs on the dash panels...[/vulture mode off] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt T Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I believe if the damage is around 2/3'rds of the car value they will declare it a write off. TBH it sounds like a write off, alot of work to do, but if you know the right people its not unbelievable to think it could be repaired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra-alex Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 write ok, cheers for the input, so, about as much chance of saving it as finding osama bin hiden in the crowd at wimbledon this year !!! I'll brake the the news although it shouldn't be a surprise though ? does labour count in the estimate ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 does labour count in the estimate ? Yes, estimate is to return car to standard before accident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Being honest, its a write off for sure. We have a customers Supra in at the moment which we are rebuilding. Total is about £6k so far and it was as far damaged as that. And thats not going through the insurance company either... Wheels OK? Suspension, Inner wings? Need's jigging? Gaz. yep marks car he bought sz of me for parts but now selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albundy68 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I believe if the damage is around 2/3'rds of the car value they will declare it a write off. TBH it sounds like a write off, alot of work to do, but if you know the right people its not unbelievable to think it could be repaired more like anything over 1/3rd in my experience!!! But mine was an import, when it comes to repairing jspecs on insurance they just arent interested!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
