Hob&Jill 258 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Sounds like a bargain...Not! If it was any good he would be getting it out himself. Probably a knackered old shitter with high miles and will be written off. I have just paid £1700 to insure my 1.3 combo van. I am 21 with 3 years no claims. Dread to think what you will be paying. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

derbylad1 293 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) as it had the insurance assessment yet? if it hasn't, then you could end being lumbered with a write off. and depending on the damage, it could be dangerous to drive. how good is your mechanic? its your choice Edited June 12, 2012 by derbylad1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hob&Jill 258 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Ask yourself why the owner doesn't want the fecking thing?!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 If its just left lying under a tree it says to me the van was not insured and off the road to start with. The damage from the fallen tree could be just the start of your trouble.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
