SupraStar 3000 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 really sorry mate. Hope its sorted soon didn't the insurance give you a valuation of the car when you agreed the terms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 yeh, did you get a agreed value, written on paper mate? it was only £15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 The Mk3 book price is more like £600 so that must be the price for a mk4! Crazy and I'm sure you'll get offered more. Got any pictures of the damage it could be an easy repair but if they only think its work £2300 they are going to class it as uneconomical to repair.

Prof. Monkey Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Perhaps, if they value the car so low, they consider the cost of the repairs based on that cost, so could you haggle for more money and keep the car? Is the damage superficial? Ie nothing structural? Hold out for the money, and if they do not comply perhaps we can all chip and send some documentary evidence, to justify what you are asking for, a thickhead jag owner who lives up his own arse in London and "trots" into Lloyds in the city centre to "shaft" some more "suckers" (his words) by being an underwriter, has no fucking clue about anything apart from what is in his fucking account, fucking tosser, arse bandit, fuckwit - has no clue what a Supra is worth financially let alone intrinsically. Get the money then invite the fella to the "real" world, introduce him to the local housing estate, wearing a duffle coat with the words "CHAVS NEED TO GET REAL JOBS LIKE MINE, I AM AN UNDERWRITER WHO MAKES LOADS OF MONEY OFF YOU SCUM SUCKING CORSA OWNERS, OH AND I SHAGGED YOUR MUM, AND BUMMED YOUR DAD" and see how long he can "assess" the damage he will be receiving to his scrotum. I really feel for you Haydn, I fucking hate insurance companies they are such faceless and gutless c**ts. (I used to be an insurance agent,m and had to deal with the tossers, god I am glad I left). Good luck, I will keep my fingers crossed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I heard today that Tim Porter has just been offered a similar stupid sum for his Supe too. You may remember that he had an altercation with a Cobra not long ago. We've advised him to contest the sum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lui Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 They're keeping the car. I might be going sensible for the next wagon, but you never know you should try buying it back off them for a silly price & breaking it yourself mate & good to hear you got a sensible offer off them to mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 you should try buying it back off them for a silly price & breaking it yourself mate & good to hear you got a sensible offer off them to mate If you can buy it back to break and you have the space I think that would be a good idea. I think the insurers will sell it to salvage for 5% of the your payout, well worth it. I wish i had. Well done for getting the payout though.
