Insurance value £25,000

[Vito]

Hi all

Back on the 08/06/10 I let you all know about my fight with my insurance company after my CSL was a total write off. They valued the car at £19,750 for a 30/09/04, 39,000 mile, Silver Grey CSL with air con, Park D control, Xenon lights, CSL wheels 100% original all books and keys as new just fully detailed and serviced. I was very pissed off and let them know this was just not good enough they came back with an offer of £20,225 can you believe it what a joke. So again I refused the offer and let them know I was seeking legal advice as I had the car insured for £25,000 and I had only had the car for 5 months when I had the accident and it was now over 3 months since my claim. And just last week they agreed to pay out my full value of £25,000 for the car I am so happy and I feel this is a fair value for my car.

This was my second CSL and I have thought about getting another but think its time to move on poss looking at GT3. I love the CSL and it is 1 of the all time great cars

Looking at 997 Mk 1 you can pick them up for £59k now. So with the CSL away and my fiance car sold 997 Carrera tip we are looking to get one car and I think if you mixed a CSL and 997 carrera tip together a 997 GT3 comfort would pop out. I would have club sport but think that is pushin it a bit with the misses I still have not told her it only has 2 seats not that we used them just for her shopping :smt055. Just said it was a tricked up C2 S

I would like a white car with air con, sat nav and comfort pack a few nice cars on piston heads at the mo I am in no rush happy to wait for the right car keep you all posted .

All the best

Chuffed for you mate! Really glad you held out and got a decent value! :thumbs:

I love my job (in insurance) but it really does pain me sometimes recommending these companies when they act like this! :(

Best of luck with the GT3, if you get one make sure you put pics up on here please! ;)
