One less S2 ABY coupe

[benntenn67]

My 1995 S2 ABY Coupe has been declared a cat 'B' write off Not the best day I,ve had to say the least .... & to rub salt in the wound, they have offered £2,000 settlement

Ouch Make sure you fight it and show evidence of the other, similar cars that are for sale to get a better settlement. This is what worries me about not haveing agreed value, despite the assurances of my insurer

Sad times

[Acidburn]

sorry to hear that mate, what happened to it?

sorry if i've missed the thread

[Acidburn]

also never accept the first offer, fight it.

Gt500 is brilliant from what i've read about stuff like this, might be worth seeing if he can help?

[rynaqui]

Sad to hear .

Fight it! Any possibility of it being saved?

[Colesy]

Gutted for you, how'd that happen?

There are a few threads on here that give tips on how to get a better payout from insurers. And you should try to buy it back off them so you can sell off some parts to make back more money, this might be difficult with it being a cat B though.

I didn't start a thread, I was hoping for cat 'D' & have it repaired or buy it back, the front end damage didn't look that bad really but they have said "it has to be crushed" I'm crushed I know that!!
3 owners, 122k miles & in very good pre -accident condition - leather, A/C & a glass tilt slide sunroof - all the keys, service history, books, folders etc The thing that makes it rare though, is that it is DRY inside

[Acidburn]

Would they let you get it back thru a breaker with a licence to break as they might let you have it cheap so you can get enough out of that car, the payout to fund a equally good example whilst keeping any rare bits off your old one?

got any pre-accident pictures?

[benntenn67]

The only ones I have at the mo are these (camera broke & I lost loads of pics)

[Acidburn]

looked a real nice example

how fast was you going or did someone drive into you?

i'd have thought a cat c/d for front end damage as stuff is still available

[mackenzie50]

Belated commiserations..that's rotten luck..hope you get something better than as it stands just now

[benntenn67]

30 mph - no damage to the front wings, all the shut lines are as it left Audi - what would happen to the private plate thats on on it ??

[Acidburn]

Find pictures of similarly conditioned/miled cars and fight it, thats worth a lot more

[Acidburn]

If you act now you might be able to get it before its removed off the databases
