Class One Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Just bought a Mazda 6 TS Estate 136 turbodiesel on a 53 plate to replace my Audi A4 TDi 110se which is now 5 years old with 136k on the clock.(family car.) Got 4k on trade in so was quite chuffed, and pick the car up on Monday. However, today my wife(can you guess what's coming??) scraped the front end whilst parking it on the drive. Three years we've lived here and today she scrapes the front end. What am I to do?? I'm going to give Chips away a go to see if they can oblige this week as, the car has been accepted on the condition it was viewed at the other day "pre dink", I've paid a £500 non refundable deposit on the new car which i can't afford to lose, and if Chips away can't oblige i'm buggered.

terribleturner Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Thank god it wasn't in the Sup Dug. If it's just paint work it shouldn't be too bad. What sort of area (size) is it over?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Its the n/s/f bumber and a small bit of the wing, but i dont think some polish and a chip stick will sort it. We'll see tomorrow what can be sorted. As youcan imagine the atmosphere in the house tonight has been somewhat tense!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I got a good idea park it in Tesco's whilst keeping an eye on it, it wont be long before someone backs into it then you can claim off their insurance for the dent and whatever!

Class One Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Thanks Bobbeh, spent along time deciding what to get and was torn between another saloon or delve into estate territory (well i am approaching 40! ) I really loved my Audi, a good motorway car, and driving as good as the day i got it but at 136k miles it was time to go. Toyed with a Volvo s60d5, another Audi a4 tdi (vv exey imo) but decided on th mazda after reading several positive write ups as a used buy. abd doing 25k a year commuting i needed a newer car.
