Hi all! I can see see old names on here but thought I would pay a visit to update you all on what's happened to my meggy. After an accident that wasn't my fault (driver pulling out on me at last minute as I was going along a 60mph road) I now have a potentially written off meggy such bad times! Gutted is not the word as those of you who know me know I love that car! So I'm just waiting to hear what the outcome is and part of me is hoping it can be repaired but another part of me is wondering whether to take this opportunity to get something new such as a 250 / 265. So just thought I would pop in to say hello and update those who didn't know Bad times!
Yeah gutting! The impact was on the passenger side of the bumper and wheel. So the bumper is off and front wheel is misaligned. Side air bags went off passenger side but everything else is fine. I had a mug in a box in the boot which didn't smash so couldn't have been that intense! Lol I couldn't see if bonnet is damaged but
I know, poor BDOG! I was getting a bit tense as the police officer slammed the boot shut with brambles nearby lol despite the front end hanging off lol He asked if I wanted to retrieve any valuables and I went in rooting around for my detailing bits and drying towels lol!
Not heard yet but I think it will be. Yes I'm interested in buying it back but just need to know the cost of repair. It's probably no more hassle than shopping for a replacement so if I can have it back then I would be very pleased. I'm not ready to part with BDOG yet! I'm actually feeling horrendously upset and bereft! It's insane, I feel like someone has passed away! Need to man up lol
You know I'm gutted for you as well! If memory serves, as soon as the airbags are deployed it's classed as a write off (when I spoke to you on FB I didn't realise that had happened), but that may just be the front bags - something to do with seatbelt pre-tensioners I think. If you want to buy it back then do so - there will be people that don't think you should, but only you know whats the best thing to do for you.
Thanks Yeah it was only the side airbags so I'm not sure whether that counts as an automatic write off but I'm guessing it may be. Yeah I do want it back, unless it's a ridiculous price to repair of course. Saves me touring the country for similar models too!
RS250/265 as a replacement if needed? Your Megane was class, remember seeing it on me and my Renault.
Yeah a 250/265 was a consideration but I don't owe any money on my car and the 250 doesn't look as though it has quite as much passenger head room as mine. I also prefer the look of mine still Thanks for your comments
Yeah it could have been a lot worse! Just putting together evidence regarding it's value now comparing with trade / private adverts! In readiness for the usual poor valuation by insurance. Fun times.
Hiya! Good to hear from you! I see you're selling your 250! Looks very well looked after as I would expect from you Yeah a pants situation but it's hopefully not too badly damaged so I plan to have it back to repair. Not much else out there to replace with (e.g black with lux + cup pack) and would then want to add mods on so would be throwing cash at a replacement anyway. So hopefully can get it back to it's former glory x
