    moral here is to always go through insurance, then there are no 'silent responses' when the bills come in
    Target Savings by end 2009: 20,000
    current savings: 20,500 (target hit yippee!)
    Debts: 8000 (student loan so doesnt count)

    new target savings by Feb 2010: 30,000

    An update which is rather amusing to me, but I bet "experts" who replied earlier won't agree. My car is now being repaired at a local garage (not the one which supplied the quote). The quote I'd obtained was for £667, the work is actually costing over £900. Now, didn't someone here say I was trying to rip-off the other driver with an inflated quote??? It turned out that he other car was a hire-car - no wonder the driver didn't want the insurance involved.

    What a load of !!!!!.

    Maybe no insurers was a favour but not when you then give one quote from a renowned expensive dealer which isnt even the manufacturer.

    It will be quite funny if the OP gets the insurers involved and there car is written off and they get market value for a new one and end up with a banger.

    Im sure they will have wished they had been more patient then:rolleyes:

    Why are you such an A.se?

    You were told by so many people that it was a bodyshop...not a dealer


    I hope you are going to come back and apologise to the OP as you clearly did not know what you were talking about.

    To the OP glad you have it sorted

    He won't apologise - he's a troll. Stick him on ignore and forget about him. He's not interested in helping anyone just in causing trouble.
