Well done mate

What sort of damage have you got?

Not sure how the winder handles are attached I can have a look at mine later if no one else knows

Did you have to buy it back off the insurance or was it given back for free?

well they valued the car at 860 the salvage was 86 quid however they sent me a cheque for 774 and also the 86 quid for salvage but spelt my name wrong spo couldnt cash and think they may have fooked up there as they know i was keeping car but the letter stiches them up and says the cars pre accident is 860 the salvage is 86 and they car can be diposed of by me whenever i would like to do and remains my property so shouldnt have sent me the salvage fee aswell so wait and see when new cheque comes

good luck

A couple of years ago, i won a mint BMW 535i on ebay, it was quite old but 1 owner, full service history etc etc it was like a show piece, I managed to get the car for £495 because it was listed wrong, anyway it was worth much more than that, the old owner was sick with the price he got, it was his baby, anyway about 2 days later I popped out just for a pint of milk and a loaf, I would have normally walked as its only round the corner but it was freezing so took the car, on the way home I was sitting in the middle of the road indicating to turn right into my street when a bloke in a Shogun (on his phone) ploughed into the back of me at about 40 mph, car was a total wreck, I was ok apart from some delayed whiplash, anyhow I ended up getting £2000 for the car and £1800 whiplash, and kept the car, every cloud has a silver lining eh?
