If its not reg, surely it could be registered '09 when repaired?
Maybe not worth £20k, but at £15K plus even £15K to repair, cant be bad for an 09 registered m3? 07's from dealers are still mid 30s....
I think you'd be lucky to get that repaired for £15k. I think it's worth about £10kMaybe not worth £20k, but at £15K plus even £15K to repair, cant be bad for an 09 registered m3? 07's from dealers are still mid 30s....

If it were £15k to repair, they wouldn't have written it off. The ins company would rather pay £15k for repairs than £45k for the write off.Maybe not worth £20k, but at £15K plus even £15K to repair, cant be bad for an 09 registered m3? 07's from dealers are still mid 30s....
I stand by my comment, I reckon there's £30k's worth of damage.
Either that or there's chassis damage and the car should really be a cat B, therefore it's only worth what you can get for breaking it for spares. Again, I don't think there's more than £10k of spares worth on the car anyway.
I think they've got it up at £20k in the vain hope that there's someone stupid enough to think they can repair it for £10k. What sort of "repair" do you think they'd do for £10k anyway? A rubbish one, that's what.

How does one assess the value of the spares? I feel sure that if you needed a new engine it would cost at least £10k without any of the other bits. On the other hand while all cars are under warranty no-one will need a new engine.Gassing Station | M Power | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
