Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / June 2005Bugger....
Rear ended a Merc on the way to work this morning ! Traffic flow stopped, I didn't! Only doing about 15mph when I hit, but the front bumper, bonnet and wings are screwed. However, Engine seems fine - but its impossible to know yet if I've done anything nasty to the chasis - here's hoping not ! I love that car, and we're about to move house - NOT what I wanted to happen today ! > Rear ended a Merc on the way to work this morning ! Traffic flow > stopped, I didn't!

"front bumper, bonnet and wings" will do it, I suspect. Let us know how you get on though! SignatureZ Scotland Alfa Romeo 156 2.4JTD Veloce Leather 'Oil' be seeing you..

I hate insurance companies! If you can find similar models in the auto-trader etc... for a decent price send the evidence in and they up the outpay - never settle for thier first payment you can always argue the case. >If you can find similar models in the auto-trader etc... for a decent price >send the evidence in and they up the outpay - never settle for thier first >payment you can always argue the case. Very true.

It's not even arguing. It's the "anything is negotiable" idea. Ask them first (after their offer) about what's the procedure to buy back. I know of a friend who was told 10% of payout, so he just did that and paid for the damage to be fixed afterwards. Also, you're a muppet for the crash! > anymore than £2500 if they write it off.... I hate insurance companies! Well, it was your fault. |
