Worth As Is??

[mgzshuw]

Hi,
Quite sadly the same day i sold my 2005 MG ZS 1.6 - an unisured driver did a hit and run on my zs
i phoned the guy who bought it not to bother to turn up to collect it as it was a write-off
Anyway. im hoping to get it back off the insurers to sell it in bits or as is.

(SOME ONE HAS ALREADY HAD 1ST DIBS ON SEATS SORRY)

I was just wondering how much would this go for 'as is' on ebay or on here?
Problems i know of at the mo are:-
2x Rear alloys, Driver and rear door, back panel, rear axle, all rear suspension parts, and the mountings for the rear axle are snapped where the axle goes.

Any advice would be great.
Thanks

what a f******g w****r

not sure how that would be worth but looking at one of the pics that you have taken is that the other person front bumper with the number plate on

if so did you notify the police?

because that person is in so much trouble.

hope he gets the book thrown at him

That's really bad news mate, sorry for you.

Seeing that it is a write off, are you able to buy it back and break it? As that looks like a cat B or borderline cat C to me.

As for price, hard one to say as the shell has probably taken a beating.

Thats a Cat D defo, it is repairable.

As for the person hitting you, he wont anything just a slap on the wrist, it happened to me the guy got fine and told dont do it again.

I'd imagine the police were involved as it was on a public road... The position in which it is sitting gives the impression that it was parked (if it wasn't being driven, then he was parked on 'double yellow' lines)... and they also know that the driver was uninsured 9which i can't imagine 'joe public' having access to.

Honestly... i would have no idea what it'd be worth now. But personally if you are going to buy it back and sell it on then i think you'd probably make more breaking it (but that depends on what they are looking from you to buy it back).

Had this happen to me, I got my money from teh MIB (Motor insurers bereau not the Men in Black) and broke the car for spares, did alright out of it in the end!

To be honest i reckon you'd see £1500 as it is to sell on. It may look bad but to a trained bodywork technician thats only a few hours work then its worth a fair whack more when done.

What a *******, been in a similar situation and everyone is right, slapped wrist, points put on a probable non existant license and a story for him to tell his chavvy mates down the park. First dibs on the guys nuts with a golf club.
Hope you can sort something mate.

Uninsured drivers are scum. I love the feeling when I seize their cars, take their keys and then watch them walk off in to the distance wondering how they are going to get home and how they are going to pay for the £105 (+ £12 a day storage) recovery costs. And if they have a licence they get 6 points and a further £200 if not or if they have 6 points already they are off to court.
