#1: Whats the verdict folks! Author: Yorkie, Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2012 12:10 pm ---- 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 ?

#6: Re: Whats the verdict folks! Author: E5GDM, Location: EssexPosted: Fri Sep 21, 2012 2:21 pm ---- It's an ex 206
#7: Re: Whats the verdict folks! Author: Matt, Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2012 3:14 pm ---- If its scratched its wrote off.
#8: Re: Whats the verdict folks! Author: Yorkie, Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2012 3:53 pm ---- 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.

#11: Re: Whats the verdict folks! Author: puggy206, Location: scunthorpePosted: Sat Sep 22, 2012 7:13 am ---- Usual its two panels and it's scrapped
#12: Re: Whats the verdict folks! Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat Sep 22, 2012 7:24 am ---- A good smack on any 206 is enough to write it of these days, there worth sod all.
#13: Re: Whats the verdict folks! Author: Yorkie, Posted: Sun Sep 23, 2012 3:29 am ---- 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.

#16: Re: Whats the verdict folks! Author: Yorkie, Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2012 7:08 am ---- The verdict is now in folks and the insurance company offered me more than I paid for the van, so I said what if I want to keep it ! The reply was well it will be a Cat C as we all thought and doesn't need a VIC test as its a commercial. The best bit was to hear that they would still give me more than I paid for it to. RESULT ! An hrs work later doctoring the rear quater and a complete door in the correct colour for £25 from the wreckers and were good again. Not perfect by any means but a van for nothing, that's what us Yorkshire people like ! ! !
