For everyone who has been following or just interested in what has been going on since my car was taken from me here is the newest GOOD update.
ITS A LONG ONE -- but worth it
Today i was told the car was being repaired for 4700 after VW said everything is fine..... B**lox to that as the exterior damage was 4600 so 100 on what an air filter????
I lost it, told Esure i wanted to speak to the assessor and just let rip, he told me it was going to get repaired as nothing wrong so i informed him politely
after 2000 unwanted miles on my car and NO mechanical repairs would he guarantee the brakes, clutch, suspension, engine, gearbox, exhaust etc for 12 months as when i bought the car all these would not need replacing for 2 years if ever, i told him how can he tell me after the milage that my brakes will be AS THEY WERE when the car left me along with the rest of my car?, i asked if i paid my insurance for the car to be repaired to the standard i had it because he was not doing that and the car would not be to the correct standard.
I finished with "i do not want any work carried out on my vehicle until I say so as i am seeking legal advice and am not happy with the assessor report and or VW's claim that nothing needs replacing, i want all diagnostic data emailing to me and a break down of every test and outcome"
He rang back saying he has the car sold to a scrapper and would i take an offer, after debate and £15750 later i have just got 1250 MORE than i paid for the car 8 weeks ago.... NOW THAT IS DEPRECIATION FOR YOU.
looking at either a MK4 R32 or a mint S3, need to free money up as im having alot going on in my life right now

Great result mate - I'm impressed!!
Get a MK5 GTI for 11k and pocket the rest :)

Result :afro:

Excellent news, goes to show how much the insurance companies care unless you kick up!
Good luck finding the next car!

Cheers, in all fairness i dont think i can have a MK5 GTI, would always compare to my R32 so i need a fresh start in MK's or make.
Could see myself in a MK4 R32, MK3 Vr6, S3 or a Rallye. i need to spend no more than 10k if im to be financially better off.

Result mate. Glad you have finally got it sorted. I wouldn't have wanted the car either. Sad tale but at least you ain't going to be stuck with it :wink:
Good luck with finding a new car.

Good news that - VERY annoying that you've got to lose it with people to get what is RIGHTFULLY yours :angry:
I've only done it with a laptop, but got the same outcome :)
Good luck with whatever you decide to get.
