Background:

I bought a 1999 V reg Impreza turbo wagon with full Subaru Service History last November. It had every garage receipt throughout its history with it. It was subsequently stolen, and was declared a "total loss" within a week. The Ins. Co. asked for the documentation to make a proper valuation on the vehicle, which I duly sent to them. After a few weeks they made a derisory offer, which I contested. At this point the vehicle was still mine as I hadn't accepted their offer. The car then turned up , with damage only to the front wheel and tyre, and I decided I wanted it back. So I sent back the initial cheque they had sent, plus a top-up one they had sent with an increase of the offer (after I had advised them by telephone that I would be keeping the car) and asked them to return my documentation.


Yes, that's right, the fecking incompetent insurance company has lost my service and warranties booklet, and about twenty pages of garage/service receipts pertaining to my car*.

So now I'm after compensation. If a seven-year-old Scoob is worth 6.0-6.5 grand with a perfect set of history and documentation, what is it worth without?

Your comments please. :cry:


*Actually, they've confessed to destroying the receipts because they take up too much room in the filing cabinet, even though the claim wasn't settled at the time.:rolleyes:

Sorry to hijack the thread slightly Bubba mate.

How much value does a car loose with no service history or service book? I'm looking at a car for the misses we both like has this?

Sorry BTT.
