Pete Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Shit dude! Mark (Kip) was saying the other day he's not seen you for a while. Now we know why How did it happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Sorry to hear this Haydn. Really can't believe how low that offer was. Are you *SURE* they don;t have it down as a mk3? Even a joke of a company couldnt expect u to replace a mk4 for that surely!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Unfortunately, I had an accident in my tt supra about 2 weeks ago Which resulted in the car being written off/total loss. (Despite the car was driveable after the accident) I have been chasing my insurers about this and after todays morning phone call they offered me only 2.3k for my 1993 RZ Twin Turbo with 78k miles!!! I have now sent autotrader adverts of similar spec cars to them and its been dealth with by a 'senior claims person'. To say im devastated is an understatement. I simply cannot believe they can offer me such a low figure.............Lets hope they get back to me with a better figure 2moro......... sorry to here this mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Spoke to the engineer/assessor bloke directly who said that they have to go by the 'glass guide' but my car looked like it was 'worth a lot more' He said book price was 2.3k.....I've got my suspicions he thought he was a mk3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 can someone like Jurgen confirm what glass's lists for a mk4 of that age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 The Glass guide? Surely a Trader on here has a copy of this and can prove this assessor wrong. Do they even value imports in the Glass guide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 That would be a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Can I assume it's called the glass guide because they came up with the valuations after ten empty pint glasses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Its insured as a Supra Twin Turbo on the docs. Surely they cant mistake this as a mk 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Back end just flew out doing about 50mph in a national speed limit zone. Surface was terrible and the car clipped the central reservation, smashing the front bumper and buckling two rims. Never thought that would be a write off No other cars involved, just a freak accident.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Sure it wasn't a blow out or something wrong with the tyre? Strange behavior for a Supra. Sorry dude, it was a nice car as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Thats a pathetic offer. I'd give u more than that for salvage! You sure that wasnt a 'keep the car' offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 even if they have it as supra twin turbo they could still have it down as a mk3... it;s happened to loads of people even though they thought they had it insured as the right thing. At this sort of valuation its worth considering if it actually is a write off (from what you've said of the damage!) I think you need words with them! and yes glasses does do imports...
