I've always thought they overpriced their stock, but this is a new level of hopefulness!

I think it was bi22le's


bi22le - 28/3/10 at 04:09 PM

oh thats mine!
As soon as i saw the title my heart sunk. I just had a feeling.
That is a complete right off and can only be used for spares.
I feel sad seeing that again. . . .

bi22le! I knew I'd seen it on here, but just couldn't quite recollect who owned it!

Sounds to me like we might see iton the road again with different plates and chassis number......


scootz - 28/3/10 at 04:39 PM

More likely the same plates and chassis number, but a very different car!

For over £3k I doubt it will be used as a V5 donor (unless the scrappy sells it separately - which would be a very bad idea if he were caught).

If you could get it, with v5, for £2k you could legally rebuild into a new OEM spec chassis and avoid IVA. Assuming the engine's ok that wouldn't be a bad deal.


bi22le - 28/3/10 at 05:00 PM

when they collected it it had no plates or chassiss plate on it. Surly this means that they cant even prove that the v5 belongs to that car. I did sign ownership over to the insurance company. Due to it being a cat b right off i was not allowed to buy it and repair it. So how can it now be sold for on the road?


prawnabie - 28/3/10 at 05:03 PM

Ive just phoned someone who is involved with DV and they said they think is being sold as a track car with no v5


scootz - 28/3/10 at 05:03 PM

If it was Cat B, then I'd be on the phone to DVLA... they're selling it as a road legal track car!

Posted last message at the same time as Prawnabie... that's the only explanation that I can think of!


prawnabie - 28/3/10 at 05:14 PM

yep deffo no V5 sold with car - in fact only paperwork that they had with the car was some police paperwork about how the accident came to be lol


bi22le - 28/3/10 at 06:12 PM

Strange, the police were not involved at ANY time on the incident.
Glad they have not paperwork.
Ill keep an eye on it and see if it goes!

Salvors usually pay 15% of payout value for cat B's, Bi22le now knows what the markup is!


scootz - 28/3/10 at 07:05 PM

Go on... spill those beans!
