Is that the saxo you hit behind it?

Krade

I'd say write off only as I have been told anytime an airbag goe off it means they have to write off the car.

It is matey but the cops wouldnt let me photo it,the side of the saxo you can see behind my car is no more the fire crew had to cut the whole of the side off to get the women out of the back !

Jerome

Why not? Why stop you gathering evidence? What would they have done if you photographed it at the scene? Many people carry a disposable camera in their car nowadays to photograph the aftermath of an accident in case of any funny business later on.

This is a comment from a past experience in my golf...

The garage towed in away and after several days told me the car was a right off and the cost to keep it there would be £45 per day... So, i decided to get a mate (garage owner) over to take a look for me (piece of mind) - It looked almost identicle to yours....


He bought the car off me and put in back in the jig.... Looked great - got inspected and all was well..

Sold the car on for a profit.

All the best

Believe or not that does look repairable I've seen worse re-jigged and repaired. Not even a crack in the windscreen! Just uneconomical to repair by the insurers.

You'll see that car in the auctions and back on the road in about 6months

official repair price on the airbags is apparently - wait for it - £2500. The charge sits on top of the sensor - so when the charge goes off its bye bye sensor (@ £600 / sensor). Its just a blatent scam IMHO

id say due to your airbags being deployed the insurance company will write it off due to the excessive price the dealers charge for replacement the rest is an easy fix, someone will have that back on the road for a cheap price

Something to do with because the peeps in the saxo were old people and had sustained injury,that they treat the accident as if someone had died or summot,Me think they just like to excersize power,anyhow i personally would prefer them to write it off as i have been gathering prices to replace the car to "same or very near spec/milage service history etc"
I paid £11995 for it but my local scooby dealers around yorkshire are selling same sort o car for about £14500-£15000 sounds good to me(sometimes it is good to be ripped off by your local dealer)

only one thing to say really

erm

not so..

i worked for one of the major airbag oem,s

the sensor is in a neutal position in the car,, usually in the dash or g change pillar

there are two sensors at the front of the car, and some others dependant on what ecu / bags are fitted...

when the steering wheel bag deploys, it will damge the wheel mount and associated wiring / circuitry there,, the main ecu would be unnafected, however, because it would always show a deply function, on innterogation, it would need to be replaced...

That person will be me then,after purchasing it from the insurance company when claim is settled(only if they write it off of course)

Since buying this car have come accross a few good salvage/breakers yards that are rife with parts from new age scoobys

Has the roof got a dent in it above the door?? If so it'll be written off

ethanrob

iTrader: (3)

No matey,the roof is fine, its all frontal nearside damage,but the inner wing is crumpled to buggery so me thinks jig?

austen_wrx

what reg is it?

ethanrob

iTrader: (3)

Its 2001 matey (51)

austen_wrx

its gonna have to be £7-8ks worth of damage to right that off, i reckon they will repair it, but if you don't want it back, play your face as it looks pretty close.

Ray_li

Hope yo are ok mate and the saxo driver. What happened in brief?
Was it your fault?

Ray

Sticky Stuff

I've done something similar to my Evo7 this afternoon.

I wait away without a scratch,just a sore neck
The saxo party all ended up in hospital,driver had heart problems,couple of broken bones for his passengers

the saxo driver turned accross my carrageway whilst i was doing about 50-55 mph,had no chance of avoiding him,but luckily for me there was a police officer following him and he has filed a report stating that the saxo driver is to blame,so no problems with the whole"who's fault was it" jobbie

Just really annoying,it seems as if nothing is happening to get this matter sorted out,sitting and waiting

Stu_WRX

I stumbled accross an STI that had frontal damage in my local scrappy. The engine had been pushed right back underneath - made a hell of a mess of everything.

I think it's probably designed to go that way, one of these new fandango crumple zone things.

Hi there matey,Was thinking you had deserted scoobynet,Dont think the payout will stretch to a wr1 but maybe an sti7 or p1

ethanrob

iTrader: (3)

Hope you escaped any injuries matey,At the end of the day its just a piece of metal and can be replaced,but life cannot!
