hope it gets sorted mate - at first glance the pics dont look too bad, but hell - that swift must've spanked you pretty hard

my regrets dude, hope it turns out slicker than before

hey guys, just thought id update this thread for those that are interested...

to save backtracking through previous posts, my car was rear ended the day before australia day and has sat at the smash repairers ever since, and we are now in the final stages of settling the matter...after a repair job that has gone on for almost four months the insurance company decided that cost were running too high and that they are now going to write off my car, which according to their own rules they cannot do

this would have suited me just fine 3 months ago or so but not after waiting so long, especially with the offer they gave me to write it off. so we told them to jam it and they since come back with a reasonable offer which we've accepted, but we will still be pursuing them for damages for all the time iv been without a car etc.

as part of the deal il be recieving the wreck back, but i will put up a thread in the for sale section on that.

will be very to see my skyline go, but will be moving on to something different i think.

thanks for the support when it happened peeps, hopefully no one else gets caught out like this

That's a ridiculous time frame Lee.

Did you gain any personal insights about the car insurance industry?

haha yes for sure...my dad has been with the nrma for 40+ years and was horrified to find that this is the way that they treat people who have been in an accident with one of their members. they deny that they've done anything wrong and they think that four months is a perfectly reasonable amount of time to be without a car. like most things it's just turned into scraping every cent possible out of people rather than looking at the bigger picture.

i was always under the impression that being completely blameless in an accident always meant that you dont get screwed around and it doesn't cost you anything but unfortunatly thats not how this went down at all.

silver lining is that im going to upgrade to the car i wanted before i got the GTT and i will definatly be going full comprehensive, its much cheaper now that im over 21.
