Had a call from the estimator today saying that my 03 Bora PD130 SE is uneconomical to repair after taking it through a puddle. I only bought it a couple of months ago for 6.5k.
OK it needs a new engine but that can't cost £5k as he said. I don't even believe he looked at it for longer than 2 minutes. OK I said I'd like to take the stereo out. He said that I could but I'd have to put another one in or take less money. Call me cynical here but someone here is onto a real winner. Bung a new engine in, give me a crap payout and everyone's done very nicely apart from me.
I don't want to meet trouble half way but I bet when I speak to direct line on Monday I get a very measly payout no where near £6.5k I paid very recently....What do you reckon?
