Finally got hold of a price for my Z, £1100 they are having a fu***ng laugh, that is what they think my car is worth. I'd be lucky to get a rotten shed for that.:rant::headvswal

Kick up mary hell fella.

 

List all things good about your car, list same example/condition prices and the most expensive you can find. Tell them you hunted for six months to find your car viewing over 40 others and buying this one because of its exemplerary condtion.

 

Tell them yes you can buy rotten broken down heaps for £1100 but yours will cost £4000 to replace like for like with a compairable example and you will not except anything less or you will take it to court.

 

Job done.

:bow::cool: (dont turn down 2 many offers though lol,

Also point out the tires on the car are worth £1000 on their own, and ask how they feel they can value the rest of the car at £100.

I told them I valued the car at £2500, just had to send my invoice I got when I bought the car. Cant really ask for more than I paid, though I did get an absolute bargain. Never had any problems with it. I did tell them that £1100 would buy you a shed and that this was a club car in excellent condition at if you look on the internet sites that sell them, you will see a jump in the prices to get a good one around the £2500 mark. will wait and see, then bring up the obismen:)

You've not sent it yet??? they'll depreciate that like mad!

already done, cant lie about that.

Just sent him another email telling him that this car was in Jeremy Clarkson's dvd Hot metal and been fetured in a couple of magazines

Just seen this Kev... Thats crap... hold out for a better offer.. even try and see if you can get it back for free...

I'm gonna bring that up soon, but not on an offer like that

you wont get it back for free if you are tryingto say its worth more than they are offering

they just look on autotrader etc to see what they are selling for (actually selling, not advertised but not selling)

 

first check that they are looking at the correct type of car, when mine was in an accident they were lookin at Z31 not Z32, i also had to tell them mine was a manual turbo and to stop looking at prices for NA autos

 

next send them links to cars of similar specs that have sold and ask for that

 

 

generally they will give you the car for 20% of the final figure you agree on

They always offer a low figure initally, they expect you to decline it and then negotiate...if you dont refuse the first offer then they get lucky.

 

Just do as everybody else as suggested - send them photo's of the car, copies of adverts in autotrader, pistonheads..etc Make sure they are checking prices of TT manuals and not NA autos...etc

I just hope it gets sorted soon, least then I can work out what to do next:(

Send them some pistonheads ads, always seem to be higher/ more realistic priced than the kak on ebay they based £1100 on.I paid £1800 for a rust free jap evilbay tt zed, with cosmetic marks all over it not too long ago..

just spoke to the insurance bloke he has added an extra 1000 onto his original price now upto 2100 which is ok. now waiting to see if i can have salvage rights.:D

thats more like it and if you get your zed back I think you have a good deal

at least i'll be able to get another good one:)
