My ZS was totalled by a dozy red-light running Doris who was at least honest about it and has fessed all to her insurance co.

I don't think this will be repairable somehow....

It hasnt caught the sill, just the door. If ya A pillar ok then repairable. I had worse than that with my old Cavalier, the car that hit me actually puntureed through my door, you could see my seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:cry:

aww thats a gutter:( but if the sill and A pillar are okay its fixable, but if the windsceens broke got to worry the a pillar has shifted, windscrren is only about?100 and doos and wings ect would set you back ?200-?300 at a guess, as long as everyone is okay thogh!

I am fine - which all goes to show that the crumple zones in the door (if thats what they are) did what they are supposed to sock absorbing wise.....

The Parkers guide for that car is about ?1000 so I don't think its going to be repaired....

It takes a lot less than that to total one of these in ther eyes of the insurance.

If your ok and she is insured then :thumbsup:

The book price may be more than market value so maybe a mk2 ?

Gutted for you. Know how you feel as my first 180 got totalled by someone pulling out in front of whilst doing about 40. Had a 51 with 72 on the clock and got ?1200 but that was 18 months ago. Only need a scratch and the insurers are ready to right them off. Won't help that original panels and parts are hard to come by.

That's rough, just the cost of the deployed airbag is enough to push it over the repairable limit, being a throax one means the seat is scrap.

I had a look at that when Ross was up for a track day, I was amazed at how much all the fairly chunky components around the impact area had moved :crazy:

Just goes to show cars are only designed to survive minor crashes from the front, any other direction seems to cause huge amounts of hidden damage
