Agreed, its the hassle of proving it with all the pictures and rejected offers that pisses me off :angry:
Worth having an agreed value policy for cars like this though, clears it up a lot quicker.
Mk3's are cheap atm :grin:

Maybe I was a bit hasty then!  :rolleyes:

As Bush said though its the hassle, and considering I'm moving in 6 weeks I need everything sorted pretty damn sharpish.

Good luck with the move.

I moved 'up the line' from Plymouth about 5 years ago.

We still have sea up here but it smells like seaweed, it's muddy and we have namby pamby tides.

On the good side, not so many potholes and not so many traffic lights either (I used to have to do 23 sets on the commute from Stonehouse to Estover).

Keeping your head clear for sorting the move and paying the deposit on a house has a monetary value. For me, that would outweigh any extra I could get for the car - so I think you did the right thing in the circumstances.

Nextime quote a spread value like ohh between 1600-1400 you find they settle for middle which is what you wanted?
Dont buy it back unless you have cash from the other bloke otherwise Sean you will have a broken car on your drive doing nothing and rusting  :lipsrsealed:

Funnily enough I pretty much live in Estover! (Thornbuy) and its 21 sets to the dockyard for me!  :laugh:

I'll be moving into a married quarter, and renting my house out but your logic (and mine) still apply! Thanks for the backup though!  :smiley:

Tbh Jay I'd strip the engine mounts, springs, zaust incl mannifold, and a couple of other bits, then weigh it in for scrap. It was a VERY reasonable price that I've already bought it back off them for.  :wink:
