m0rk's 2.0 8v Gti

[M1KEH]

So looking at £225 for what is almost a driveable car yeah? Hmm now how to get insurance on it at 19.

 

[Cupra Kid]

Somewhere between 10 & 25% of the payout, so £50-£125 I guess



I'll certainly be riding my bike for the summer, it can be a nice ride - then I might see about a 16v again, or finish my vario (preferred option)

Finnish the vario, would be a huge waste if you didnt

Oh, it will be... luckily I am able to have two cars plus the sensible "household" car

 

[rich.h44]

vario all the way!

Get this as a stop gap, with the bits you have spare it'd be great.

as long as it was dark.
Not a fan or the big sx graphic down the side i'm afraid
Is it going cheap then?

£60 bid so far as i remember

 

[m0rk]

Well, there's a split in the boot skin behind the bumper. Not daylight, but you can see it.

Anyway, they'll be "in contact" at some point to sort a settlement

However, I picked up my Rental car today. £0 excess... so I care even less about this one.

Shame that it'll be parked outside ken's house for a bit, but I've lucked out (again) and have a Mondego ST TDCi 153bhp 295lbft overboosting DIEsel. I just went out to 'test' it - and I can report that it's going to get a hard life...

 

[crezz]

give it some mork!

 

[OllieL]

haha last time i got a courtesy car it was a 1.0 litre panda that had speed wobble when I was passed by other cars! Wish they had given me something with some guts!!

[rich.h44]

what you got out good?any pics?

 

[m0rk]

amusingly my insurance company is on both sides....

They're going to settle "cash in lieu" so the car won't even be on the register.... but I still want to get shot - because I 'need' something else

 

[OllieL]

huh
What does cash in lieu mean? Does that mean they give you less cash and let you keep the car?


Ollie

 

[m0rk]

more cash, it's not going thru my policy

 

[OllieL]

Ah sounds like a good deal then. How much would the car cost to repair out of interest?

Ollie

 

[m0rk]

not a lot.... lock needs repositioning & some small paint where it's cracked... it won't be 'as new' but it'd mean you can shut the boot without slamming it.

Insurance are obviously going to base their quote on fixing everything (including the inner boot panel)

 

[Brummy]

crazy isnt it.... less damage on that really than my one , yet it gets paid out on....

 

[driveforward]

but I still want to get shot - because I 'need' something else

....?

I'm intrigued, please tell more

 

[m0rk]

I was going to sell it anyway... I just fancy something else. I do low miles in the work car so mpg isn't an issue.

I've even consider a 4.0 V8 Lexus (since they're like a grand)

 

[crezz]

is there no other seats your interested in doing work on?
