Value of written off Fabia vRS Special Edition

NitroNI · 29-07-2007, 19:28

Hey guys, am new to the site.

I recently bought a Fabia vRS Limited Edition & it was written off the day I picked it up. I was wondering if any of you guys would be able to tell me how much money I'd be looking for to sell her as one piece?

Here's the stats:

She only has 49 miles on the clock
Damage as seen on photos
Rear of the car is virtually undamaged
Seats undamaged
Engine totally undamaged, only the washer bottle broken.

Cheers.

Bad luck mate

***Neo_VR*** · 29-07-2007, 19:30

Bloody hell

what happened there then?

no idea what it would be worth as one bit.. but everything else would be worth something... the interior and engine would be the big sellers

rainbow-walker · 29-07-2007, 19:31

Can't help on value, but intrigued by "it was written off" comment, what happened ?

cheezemonkhai · 29-07-2007, 19:31

F**k

What happened to cause that amount of damage mate

Hopefully your insurance has a new car replacement within the first year clause.

Bugger

As said above, you might be better off selling bits separately as the seats are certainly sought after....

Jesus wept! Id be f*****g gutted if I was you.... , I hope you can get a 'like for like' brand new car as a replacement.

ruku · 29-07-2007, 19:47

I'm interested to know the story behind this as well...

**mannyo** · 29-07-2007, 20:04

I dont know the value of the car as a whole, but it maybe less than stripping the car and selling the parts.

The leather interior, should be worth a few quid along with the wheels/tyres etc, stereo, cd changer. So many of the SE parts can be straight swapped onto a standard vRS/Fabia.

If it has the maxidot dash panel, this could be sold on. especially as the car has such a low recorded mileage.

Surely if it's insured fully comp, it's up to your insurance company to your ins co to shift it.

Unless you intend to buy it back and flog it on?

Please don't say it was only TPF&T and the accident was your fault..?

rainbow-walker · 29-07-2007, 20:31

Why would he be wondering what the value is, if he was comp. insurance...

Lummox · 29-07-2007, 20:34

Im suprised TBH that its been written off, surely a car that new should be re shelled.

NitroNI · 29-07-2007, 20:34

It wasnt me driving so the car was only third party.

The basic story is that we were overtaking a tractor without indicators & it turns out he was turning right. It wasnt pleasant. But a credit to how they build 'em, we got out with barely a scratch.

NitroNI · 29-07-2007, 20:35

Oh, and.... the car is def not driveable. Chassis is bent in on both sides and up in the middle.

Lummox · 29-07-2007, 20:36

Glad you are ok.

Has it been confirmed as a write off then? Or you not declaring it due to third party only.

Lummox · 29-07-2007, 20:37

Hell if it was mine i'd be buying a new shell...lol

NitroNI · 29-07-2007, 20:37

Third party only, so its in my garage for me to sell!

My Dad was in a head-on about 5 years ago. Combined speed in excess of 90 mph. Insurance wouldn't even write that off! Real rub is that the car was so new that it took nearly 6 months to get the parts and get it fixed!

Car was a Mazda 6 BTW

Hannibal · 29-07-2007, 20:42

Can you get Third Party only a car of this value???

When I got mine I was trading up from a 16 yr old Polo. The Polo was TPFT, but Admiral said we'll only insure you fully comp on this car?

Lummox · 29-07-2007, 20:45

Its not an option on insurance.

But a lot of policies will insure another driver third party on your insurance if they have your permission to drive it.

Seems a shame to break it, can you not get it re shelled, surely for the ammount you are going to lose on what you have outstanding or invested in a brand new car it would be worth it?

xtramc · 29-07-2007, 20:50

dont think u will sell it as one...maybe piece by piece!

bingobri · 29-07-2007, 21:00

hi if you do/have decided to break it i need a few bits to finish mine off (05 vrs)
steering wheel / cd player mainly

Mouse · 29-07-2007, 21:00

Gutted for you fella. Don`t know the value but at least £3000 pounds there. Glad you are both OK. Are you sure it was your friend driving and not you?
wink.

PS Stu, but a RIP on this one in the register.
