Faye Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Have you sorted out what they are going to give you for the car yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 I got the revised offer yesterday. Original was 8k as you all know. They increased it to.................. £12,250 :D :D :D Its still a hit since I paid 16, but I did pay slightly over the odds, and I could probably get them to 13, but I'd rather have the cash now. They will only compare it to other standard TT aero's which are around the 12-13 mark anyway. Bit of a result really from their first offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 Yep TBH I was expecting them to offer more like 10,500 and I'd have to carry on fighting so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 this is the problem with not having an assured value but so few companies do that, and also, did you not declare your mods that were worth more? another problem with it I guess, lower premium but you can get stung... insurance companies are gits, they'll get out of anything if they can.

Rosie, my mods were declared but Admiral group work on a basis of if crashed they'll only replace with standard parts - kinda makes you wonder what the point is adding them to your insurance. A cheap premium ain't always the best, I've sure learnt that now, Elephant were 840 other nearest was 1k, A-Plan I think. They are indeed gits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are indeed gits The stupid thing is that standard parts are invariably more expensive than aftermarket ones. Body parts especially, how much would a new Toyota nosecone cost as opposed to a Stillen or Veilside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Nice increase for you Neil, I guess that's the final end to it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 sorry neil, didn't mean to make that sound like i was accusing you of not declaring them!! i was just interested. i also mean that people don't declare them for a cheaper premium but then get stitched. but it looks like that happens anyway *sigh* I think it was Adrian Flux that did an assured value on my mates car for him, sadly they won't even quote me!

SUPRACHRIS Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Did Dangerousbrain want you engine at one point, maybe worth letting him know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRACHRIS Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 If the garage are sensible then you could be in luck then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Its not a garage its a sales outlet. You would have to buy the whole car and as it will no doubt be sold as spares only then you need a waste management license to even purchase the vehicle:( The only thing I could do is attend the auction to find out who buys it and make them an offer:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
