24hours Of Owning Her And Already Damaged

Hey Ash

So you ended up with a 33. Where did you end up getting it from.

Bad luck man.. Just Cars should sort it all for you..

Do you have Full comp? or just 3rd party from just cars..?

I got rear ended by an XF ute the other day.. guy jumps out and goes "Its just a nudge mate"

I felt like grabbing a tyre iron and giving him a nudge..

Meh he drove off refusing to give me his details.. got his rego and all other details i could grab and went to the police..

Cars getting fixed on Monday.. Just a nudge is going to cost him $693..

What a wanker.. at least the person who hit you stopped and gave you her details..

Lol, yeah, that'll teach him.

I had "just a nudge" as well (in my old car)... $1100 later... brand new bumper lucky the other party was insured. The good thing is it was hardly noticeable, but the paint would've eventually have started flaking away and stuff from the stress of being pushed in.

The smallest bump or scratch costs an amazing amount to get fixed sometimes.

That farken sucks balls!!

Hope you get it back soon enough.

thanks for the drive man!! f&*uking awesome man! makes me wanna get my car even more

promise i'll give you a drive when i do

[typevu]

what will happen though? like i got her drivers licence details and did re-check em to make sure its all correct, got rego and a statement written by her admiting her fault and got her to sign it. i told my insurance company (justcars) about it and they told me that they will sort it out. basically they bill her for my excess. so does my car get fixed while they are sorting it out or they will have to wait till my excess is paid first by her and then my car gets fixed?

Similar thing happened to me with previous car - uninsured L plater driving a shitbox swiped my side - drivers door, RR panel and the slightest mark on the rear bumper. Got details reported to police + insurance. Insurance got my car fixed no hassles and a nice 4 digit bill sent to the L plater.

Seriously some ppl have no real clue do they.

This story just goes to prove to me more and more than most drivers on the road see their cars as vehicle to get them from A to B and have no real concern for others that cherish their cars like the members of this and other forums. Sorry to hear about your accident and I can only hope that you car is back to supreme condition soon. Did the rear bar need any work prior to this? Great if so.... PITA if not.

Best of luck.
