black ice = written off disco

<< < (2/3) > >>

crazymac:
Sorry to hear that, hope it all works out.

Range Rover Blues:
Glad you are all OK.

It's a "write off" simply becasue it's cheaper to pay out than to fix it, as we all now the value of V8 Discos isn't at it's highest and your insurance company will be looking at trade in values of average mileage vehicles, being an import won't help either.  If it's still lowmileage it might be worth fixing up but it will never be worth that much.

Is it still driveable?

Hi,

having been back this arvo for the recovery truck, had a good look at the damage and it is nowhere as bad as i thought it was (due to the emotional shock this morning).  the girls are both fine with no injuries apart from being upset about the disco.

it does look like it could be repairable, but i think the ins co will consider it 'beyond economical repair' - we will look at buying it back if they write it off - if anyone has a spare D2 front bumper, drivers side wing, bonnet  and headlights hanging around in the garage that they don't want - let me know!!!  we probably won't bother putting the bull bar back on. 

geoff always wanted a project (apart from redesigning the front and back garden, redoing the bathroom etc) and it looks like this could be it!

regards

ela

As long as the chassis is ok then it's a matter of cosmetics but I don't think he'll find it much of a challenge somehow.
