Hi,

So 6 months after splashing out £1700 on a 02/51 1.6i vtr w/ 66k miles on the clock and just to make matter worse 2 week after fitting a customized ICE system someone has decided to have a crash next to my parked car and written it off in the process.

Its been taken away by the guys insurance company and I called today and they are getting an engineer out to 'value' the damages/car. She says its basically going to be a write off.

I've had a look at the Parker guide and it says the cars worth is 800-1600 private to independent. I know on Monday the guy is going to call up and offer me 800 quid... I'm absolutely devastated.

I mean I paid that much because it had 1 owner, female, perfect history MOT and Service and it's literally a beauty.

So my questions are..

How much can I push these guys up to?
How can I push them up?
What method should I use to kill myself?

Cheers,
A heartbroken and highly distraught Kyle.
