PeeWee Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Know this feeling only too well as you know, gut wrenching feeling, all you can do is put it down to experience & pull yourself back up again.I stripped & scrapped mine after a similar shunt & similar damage. Chin up & get yourself sorted.Glad your ok thats the main thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troys Escort Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 it is almost the same as your crash - seems a popular one whats you opinion on the cost of repairing Mr.Peewee? i think it is too much compared to the value of the car, but im getting mixed responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 thing is you could buy another 1.4 3 door for £300, that said you could probably repair your with the same amount of cash if you got a good deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troys Escort Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 thing is i dont have a clue what im doing, so couldnt do any of it myself and i know i could get around £600 for breaking it, so is it an excuse to move on to something a bit faster....

ScORTED Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 just wondering where the £600 comes from, you'll get now t for a damaged shell the interiors not worth much at all on ly reall the wheels, skirts, mirrors and clear front indicators to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troys Escort Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 the number plate is personalised and valued at £400 however the previous owner wants the car back and is willing to pay £450 as it is and yes a lot of the car is completely worthless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troys Escort Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 its more of a sentimental thing for him i believe - and the numberplate is his initials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 i'm not 100% i'm pretty sure thats not a personalised registration... its a standard issue short plate and if you can find anyone who'll give you £400 for it you should hear what reg transfers valued mine at about double what i think its worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troys Escort Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 i know it is as the previous owner put it on, and i have the paperwork for it a couple of places have valued it at £400 and one place £500, its worth a bit as the previous owner, and all his family have that plate with their initials, so its worth something to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 ahh right in that case , and i'd have to check it may have been purchased for around 250 - 500 back in the day although i'm not sure without checking best be quick, there are another few thousand plates available ending in AAM, unless his initials are L99 in which case there are maybe slightly fewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
