Poll: 1 x bent VW Passat, repair costs?

[[TW]Fox]

Im lead to believe that if repairs are more than 50% of the cars worth, they write it off...

Not true

 

[Tee Hee Johnson]

Not true

Yeah... i dint knida state that quite factly... my bad

I more meant to say that quite a few people i have heard from seem to think this is the case... if it is or not, i have no idea... more swayed towards not!

 

[gareth.e]

I Will pray for you before I go to bed, although I think you should have tried harder...

 

["andy"]

what do you want to replace it with ?

all the cars in that sort of range are pretty damn boring

only bad thing about the passat compared to the others is its price but when the companys paying it doesnt really matter. its not a bad car at all compared to some of the others our company had us drive

 

[Kingy]

Lol @ Housemaster

Is it tempting to buy it back at salvage, and finish the job?

Be honest, did anyone think of Merlin when they read about the guy that cut his car in half because it got clamped?

 

[merlin]

My hatred for this car knows no bounds. Last night I had a dream they returned it to me all repaired but they detuned the engine to...and I quote "slow me down".

I really hope the car gets a burial. I really really do. I've never driven anything so devoid of character in all my life.

If they repair it I'm stuck with it till June 09, if not I'll upgrade - maybe a Lexus 220d or a 320d or something along those lines. Certainly Diesel but I need more poke - 170bhp min and I need proper climate control and cruise control and leather also if at all possible. Oh, and a nice stereo and some electric windows.

That's what the bricks for in the glovebox, operates the rear windows

But merlin, its a Passat. This means you've made it in life and are better than everyone else on the road surely.

[Overlag]

[pc-modd]

When do you find out if it's dead or not?

 

[merlin]

I blocked the bus lane for an hour.

 

[merlin]

Waiting for it to be inspected.

 

[Firestar_3x]

I blocked the bus lane for an hour.

Good effort

 

[Overlag]

I blocked the bus lane for an hour.

fantastic news!

did you get a ticket for "parking" there?

 

[merlin]

Good news is the courtesy car has arrived and it's not a VW Passat.

Score one to the Seat Ibiza.

 

[Firestar_3x]
