damn roundabout-syndrome hits again.
Its such a dangerous place to be in a mid engine car like ours.
remember, youre kinda performing a scandanavian flick when you go too fast through a roundabout
which is the preferred rally method for chucking your rear end out.
Really feelin for ya Craig, I've been right where you are mate.
My car looks great
(shut up mikeJC!
) yet believe it or not it wrote off a Mk V Golf, a Rav 4, and a BMW 740 when it when into a downhill slide and I had to thow it into a barrier to avoid an even worse situation.
A pillar reallignment, used door, wing and rad
, bit of paint and bonza!!! Back on the road.
Nothing like a
'cash' job.
Job was perfect too.
had experts not able to see any sign.
So there is hope mate.
If the insurance company has not been informed yet, thoroughly investigate repair costs and get a few opinions mate.
Also consider that if it get written off
, it will get categorized.
If its cat D
(most likely) then you can buy it back, usually for a good price.
At this point mate you'll get the remainder in a cheque.
Now at this point if you can get sum1 to fix it for cheap enough it might actually be worth fixing, it reall for you to do the maths especially if after the sill, you can do the door and wing yourself which are considerably easier jobs.
So if you are sentimental about your car
(like me!
) you could end up with it back and a bit of extra cash too.
Obviously resale value is now affected but then you did get that cheque so remember how much the car REALLY stand you at.
Whatever happens mate, glad to hear youre safe and well
and
take your time to decide what to do.
It always saddens me when people break cars as a first option but then like I said, I'm very sentimental about cars.
Bobby
