Bull****! Nothings 'free' in this world. When my last scoob was crashed into in April 2007 I needed a courtesy car whilst it was being repaired. My insurance company put me in touch with a hire car company who have me a car of similar 'prestige' ie a brand new Passat diesel exec mobile. That certainly wasn't a freebie from the repairers.

a hire car is used when a third party hits another vehicle therefore not your fault so they get you a hire car .
a courtesy car is used when its your fault i.e theft,vandalism,rta and stuff like that so i will stick to estimating and you stick to chatting **** about something you obviously know nothing about

Its ok, you aren't Big Fud - I must either have a real shitter on my hands or it is unbelievably over priced.
Making offers of 8k for a 10,495k car is laughable, making an offer near the asking price isn't.

I've got a budget of about £9.5k but might stretch to £10k at a real push.

We don't charge directly either - the cost is worked into our overheads instead.

There is a company that do inspections on vehicles and if they find the car to be undamaged and in factory condition they lift the Cat classification from the system, so yes this car is worth a punt
