Post by: garethshore on May 23, 2009, 01:31:59 PM
I bought the car off chris think its gurj\'s old car aswell. Someome reversed out into main road as i was driving down the road not best impressed and unsure what to do. The car has been wrote off as cat d im unsure wether to sell the car for parts or fix the car and sell it as i will be movin to Australia by the end of the year. As the market as it is was thinkin might not get that much for it when repaired what do you guys think appions please will post a few pics up thanks very much gaz..

ahh bad luck mate....tbh it dont look too bad.  There was someone here selling the wings in PZ black. some here http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57625

 All you need then is the bumper and respray or may even be able to get one already painted.

I would fix it and then sell.  It will be shame to break such a nice car.

Forgot to mention the passenger side chassis leg has been bent so will have to go on the jig also.

Not a difficult repair, but the car\'s probably worth more in parts tbh.

Bad luck mate.
If it were me id probably break it as im not sure if youd get a decent price for it as a write off. obviously if you were going to keep it then it would be worth doing.

Sorry mate wasnt my fault nothing i could have done to prevent it either even if i had gone in the other side of the road i would have hit another car straight on. they gave me the car back and a cheque for £4500.

Thats actually a very good deal, in which case strip it for parts as even repaired you wont get a good deal if you sell it dude :yes

Only kidding tbh, just spent so long getting it right, very very quick RX the Purple One !!!! :eek:

would be a real shame to brake it .... but you gotta do what you gotta do. If your keeping the car its worth fixing if you are selling then brake it. You will never get its value if repaired and sold.

Just my 2p
