On my way to work this afternoon, just trundling along in my 2003 1.4 Hdi van minding my own when BANG ! A young lass in a Micra pulled out of a road and smashed into the side of me. I was spun 90 degrees and the damage is door and lower quater badly dented with a hole ripped through both as well a small hole ripped in the lower pillar. It drives ok but I've a feeling it may be wrote off. Its got 122000 on the clock and otherwise in rate good nick. What do you folks reckon ?

Yeah if it's damaged the quarter and everything that's probably a goner. Damage sounds pretty bad and with it being a 9 year old car it'll be a write off.

Cheers for that folks, looks like its goosed then. Only bought it 3 weeks ago for a runner to work so its back to the drawing board. One thing I will do though is make sure I buy the car variant next and avoid that bstard £210 a year tax as opposed to £30 for the car !

I didn't know they did that for vans, always thought it was done by emissions etc if it's after 2001? Never owned a van though so I can't comment. 
Just claim back the unused tax now it's gone.

A good smack on any 206 is enough to write it of these days, there worth sod all.

Phoned the insurance yesterday again and the girl has accepted that she is at fault so a hire car was brought out to me and the 206 was parked up awaiting its fate. A nice 12 plate 207 petrol which I had a bit of a drive last night but tbh am not looking forward to feeding it so it looks like the Vespa is coming out again till the claim is sorted.
