I buy all season tyres, wouldn't go for any other tyre now when buying them.

Yes and the funny thing is, if you start reading those forum posts you'll realise the writing style is exactly the same, same punctuation, fluidity, spelling, grammar, they all just merge together.

Ha, I fix computers and sell them for a living so I'm probably more in tune with how scammers operate than most people you'll meet. In other words (and unfortunately) I get phone calls from people who have been scammed. The point of my post was trying to understand how such an obvious scam is...

I'm actually astonished at this scam, I've heard of people scamming on ebay but this is on another level and I'm amazed the website is still active. You see a car which is mint condition and around £10k cheaper on ebay, contact the seller re interest and then you're told about this company...

Well surprisingly its a Cat N write off so no structural damage. Ive been offered £5,300 settlement or RETAINING If you would like to purchase your vehicle back from The AA, a retaining fee of £1,150.36would be deducted from your settlement payment making the total amount payable £3,888.64...

Reason i showed the 63k examples is to reflect their offer... ie. Imo it does seem reasonable. I could perhaps squeeze another 300 quid so will have a go. Spec is definitely important lol My car had auto rain sensing wipers, cruise control, soft touch dash, auto headlights, auto gearbox. It...

Just received a settlement figure for my written off Ford Focus 2013 Titanium 1.6L Automatic with 97k on the clock at £5,289. I've gone on Autotrader and can only find one other car with the same specification (albeit a different colour mine was a rare Midnight Sky Grey colour), and the price...

I got side swiped by a pick up truck so my front left got hit by that but most of the damage on the other side is where my car has hit another parked car.

https://ibb.co/X51Z6h9 https://ibb.co/6FL1qPK The actual bonnet looks fine and the front of the car, all of the damage is in the photos above. But as I said, I'm guessing it's a write off.

I phoned Beam this morning. The car will be picked up next week and assessed and then I'll be offered the market value of the car, but I'm going to refuse the first offer as it'll obviously be too low. I asked when it's likely I'll be paid the settlement fee and she said a couple of weeks, maybe...

I'm quite sure its a write off. How long does it usually take to get a settlement? Weeks or months? I'm going to have to get a temporary car somehow. I have been told that the AA or Beam who I am with use a company called Ax who can provide a temporary car. Not sure how much that would be.

Ok I have found a similar one, for £5,300. They're all around the £5k price. So should I settle for nothing less than £5k? If I refuse their first offer and they come back with another offer less than £5k do I refuse again until they meet that price?

What if I can't find the car in the exact spec? I can find three Zetec Automatic Focus 2013 1.6L Petrol cars with similar mileage but my car is the auto titanium model which I can't find.

Sorry, not sure I understand that? If I can get a replacement for what they offer isn't that a good thing?

Hi, Pretty sure my car is a write off but just wondering what happens next. I have phoned insurance company and they've sent an email to say they suspect it's a write off etc. As I understand it someone will come out to look at it from the insurance company and confirm whether or not it is...

I'm looking at buying a better sim setup than I currently have, which is the Playseat Challenge and the G29. I understand that I'll need to weigh the seat down etc. I'll be using it mostly for F1 and GT7 and I'm wondering which setup would be best to buy. Buying direct from Fanatec seems a...

Thanks for the replies. I've found what I want on ebay but as I say it's second hand. It was purchased in 2021 so has no warranty anyway. I'm just a bit weary of spending several hundred on second hand gear. There seems to be an awful lot of RMAs of Fanatec gear. If I did buy it and tried it...

Thinking of buying a Fanatec system... from Fanatec. The price on the website comes to 770 Euros.. which is £660. Does VAT get added on after this price and what are the customs fees like ? I've seen the same setup on ebay second hand and I'm wondering if it makes more sense to buy that, but if...

Ok so I clearly overlooked this comment from him, after I told him that despite my efforts I couldn't get this resolved he wrote "How’s that even possible, genuinely. The laptop was originally purchased by myself and I expended it" Thing is that still takes me back to option 1 above and I...

Thanks very much for the replies. I'm going to tell him I can't fix it, that'll be the simplest thing to do and for him to come and pick it up. 1) I could ask him if he has proof of his entitlement to keep the laptop (but this isn't very good for a business relationship between myself and the...
