you can always buy it back and then have it repaired yourself. hubby did that last winter with my car x

You can only do this if your vehicle isn't a complete write-off (Cat A or B).

Category:
A - For burn outs and gutted vehicles. Only value is in the baled weight at a metal recyclers.

B - is where the vehicle is no longer safe to put back on the road and must be broken or crushed. These can only be sold to registered dismantlers with an EPA waste licence. They are actually sold as parts and are no longer considered as a vehicle. There is no economic consideration involved, purely a safety one. Vehicles that have been flooded are normally written off as a cat B.

C - is where the car is repairable but is not economic to do so. Think older cars and or ones where the chassis needs jigging.

D - is where the vehicle is repairable and would be economic to do so (cost of salvage + cost of repairs < Pre accident value) but the insurance company has decided not to repair the vehicle. This could be due to excessive storage or recovery costs, etc.

My van is a category C write-off and ive been offered 2,600 and they keep the van.....or 2300 and the van back.

Will anyone buy a category C for more than 300 do you think?

Seriouslly don't know which offer to accept.

The van has bad body damage to the passenger side with the passenger door caved in and unable to open.....the mechanics of the vehicle are all great and their is no real damage to the chasses or so ive been told. The van is a perfect runner with only 80000miles and 8month tax and mot.

Dya reckon its worth taking it to auction or just accepting the 2600? Am i being greedy haha
 
If it's repairable, someone in the trade may give you more than £300 for it. Ask around, then, is it worth the hastle for the difference?
 
women drivers are a nightmare going forwards. who in their right mind allowed them to drive a car with a reverse gear. we all know that the 3 mirrors fitted are solely for make-up application, and checking hair.
Knew one who used to drive about 3/4 of a mile to work in a micra, turning left onto the main road and left into the works. At home time, she used to turn left onto the main road and drive a 5 mile route of left turns before arriving home. Frightened s*****ss of turning right.

Haha that's the funniest story i've heard ina while.
 
I went to see the Red Arrows today. There were gasps of "Ooh" and "Aah" as the crowds watched on in amazement. Near miss after near miss had some people covering their eyes and shaking there heads in disbelief. It was a good half hour's worth of entertainment, but in the end, my wife finally managed to park the car and we made our way to the air show.
 
I remember when I had an Isuzu Trooper and attempted to park it outside a cafe. After about 35 manouevers I managed to line it up with the pavement and felt quite proud that I hadn't killed police horses or small children....... as I got out of the car, the whole cafe were clapping and giving me a standing ovation.............:laugh: but as Geordie will tell you, it's these damn walls that creep out on you unawares that cause most trouble.........:yes:
 
Jeez...... the roads are lethal today. Black ice with a layer of snow isn't good. Most of the ***** driving like morons have been men!!!!:30::30::30::30::30::30::30::30::30:
 
Haha, the people that are causing havoc today are the one's driving at 5mph....yes its abit slippy, yes its abit sludgey, but why soooooooooooooooooo slow.
 
I've just read this post from start to finish, and Holy crap,i bet there are some red faces on this forum after the cringe-fest flirting that was going on.... with that MAN.

It still makes me laugh
 
Pesting yea, but the actually responses that were coming out of some of the lads on here.

Shame. Pure unadulterated shame. I would be too embarrassed to continue living

You'll find with experience that the hardest thing about driving when it's a bit slippy and sludgy is getting the damn' vehicle to STOP where and when you want it to !!!
 
with my van, it's getting it to go anywhere. it's rear wheel drive. on the bright side though, i don't need CV boots every MOT.
