Corolla - Possible Write Off

[MSC_Kev]

Well today I travelled 180 miles round trip and about 4hrs driving to go upto Doncaster and remove a fair few bits from the car.

Road Pilot

laser diffussers

Front and rear Speakers

genesis amp

PIAA plasma bulbs and side lights ( now in the escort, they survived the crash)

decals for keepsakes

Momo gearknob

and few other bits...

now for the pics...

Such a sad state seeing it like this, but it really did hold up well considering the impact was about 40-50mph and flipped upside down :S I'm soo lucky I got out alive let alone without a mark on me!!!

i know that feeling only to well... glad your ok though.

OMG I wasn't expecting any damage as bad as that............those piccies have really hit home. :(

Am very pleased you are well and getting through it all as best as you can.

And as for Fords..........when KITT died, I bought a 1993 Ford Fiesta Auto 1.3 Ghia, and I liked it It was written of a week ago so now I am now looking to get a 1995/96 Ford Fiesta. I never thought I would choose to get a Ford but they do the job!!!!!!

Well, I've had my first offer of a poxy 1.7k... so much for my modifications being covered like for like :ffs:

I have supplied almost exactly 5.6k's worth of receipts and the book value on my corolla is 1k, so for my modifications they are offering me £700....it's a joke and I fully intend to fight it!

I will also not be keeping the escort now and looking for another jap car shortly.

Missed out on a very nice Integra Type R which I was gutted about and also considering an Impreza. My insurance payout doesn't affect me getting a new car, so in the meantime I can hopefully source the car I want and fight the insurance.

I was at least looking for 2.5k, but I know exactly how insurance companies work and they will try and get away with paying out as little as possible.

Let the fun begin!

Wish you all the best mate

Hope you get the right car very soon and get back to enjoying a nice motor :)

Hell of a damaged car.... think someone was looking over you that day

[Fizz]

thats one messed up motor! :o

Really glad to see you came out of it without a scratch on ya.

With regards to the Integra Type R, be warned that insurance is stupid high even for drivers over 25.

You can pick up a sub 100k UK teg for about £4k these days. Good luck with your insurance payout and the next purchase. :)

Cheers...

I'm 27 this year with 7 years no claims, so hopefully I should be reasonably ok with insurance.
