Write off thresholds

Only because you know what happened! - I did not know what happened and asked.

If that makes me an obsessive, I'll join you in that particular club.

Unlucky Jez (or lucky depending how you look at it!) - E38 740i next?

It depends what happens, i may get the option to buy my car back, i may get cash for the repairs, i truely dont know what they will suggest happens

In the case of not getting the S-class back i think i will look at E39 (hard to find in a good spec)/E38's and E65's. With the market having fallen so much i may even look at more W220's.

Thats a lot of car for 10k, amazing how much money that has lost since new.

Same applies to all big petrols, it will continue to shed value for a few years yet, look how worthless E38's are now, you can get decent ones from 1500 quid

"Total loss" thanks to a bump to the rear, oof what a waste

So what are the details, someone must have given it a fair wack in the car park....

So what are you going to Le Mans in now?

Think im going to hitch a lift in my mates 355 assuming i dont get the merc back on the road in time. Yeah it was a fair whack, but no chassis damage as far as the engineer's report seems to indicate, just suspension and cosmetic. Its only being written off due to mercedes s-class labour & parts prices and huge car rental car charges.

Indeed, I'd like to think my old 728i was a decent example, it was the right colour, good spec & in very good nick. Alas, I could barely give it away for £2200.

Great cars, undoubtedly, alas I could not bring myself to own one, I can't stand the looks.

Ten grand for a 745i, blimey that's depreciation for you.

Good to hear you're hopefully buying the waftmobile back
