Found a blue 180 for 2200 with 60k on the clock. Might have to buy that I think.  Are we saying my car is definitely getting written off and I should buy another?

Thanks
we can guess all day long but your best speaking to your insurance company but looking at the damage they probably will due to repair costs  :smiley:

Yeah I'll give them a bell and see what they think. As long as everything goes smoothly this may not be so bad. Low miles on the new one I might get plus my current one did have a few issues. Clearly I'm a glass half full kinda guy :-) let's wait and see, ay

Once I've modded it I'm going to get a remap and the one I've got now has done 110k so a new fuel pump would have been a good idea. Won't need to do that on the newer one. Also I've of the studs is broken on my turbo so I was probably gonna get a custom exhaust so they sorted it all out. This way I'll iust get a decat downpipe and catback exhaust which will be a lot cheaper. Silver linings.... :)

I had a missed call today so I googled it and it was a salvage company. I think that says it all lol. They said it's down on there system as a write off bit engineers will still check it out before any final decision is made
