coming off the road

[96terrano]

It's not bad news though:nono, I'll by taking Toby the terrano off the road so I can get a Volvo, but its not going to sit and rot, whilst off the road, I am going to do a engine rebuilt with all new gaskets etc, rub down the chassis and waxoil the **** out of it, also tackle the bits of rot and little niggles, so its actually a good thing, after the work, I should basically have a new truck :thumb2:thumb2

Ryan, it doesn't quite work out that way:doh
Bend it and it will still only be worth a few hundred quid, it doesn't matter if you have a new engine, chassis or even a galvanised new body, book price is all's it's worth at best, and then, they will be looking for ways to lower that price too. :doh

To write it off, it only needs some granny to pull out in front of you or a boy racer to run up the back, you have no control over these types of accidents.

A dented front wing= write off.
Stoved in rear bumper = write off

So if I were you you need to have a contingency plan should it ever happen.


My Mav is still like new, but book price... very low, I couldn't find a similar car in the same condition it would have to be 10 years younger to start with...:nenau:nenau

I'm doing it for myself as I'm not selling the truck because I saved up for a terrano since I was 7, I just want to make it live longer, if I did sell him, I'd make a monumental loss, but that doesn't bother me as I'm not going to sell

Is the camper conversion done yet ?

[makeitfit]

Yes:thumbs

No as I'm getting a Volvo

[Fez_uk]

why a volvo, why not just insure the terrano???

[jims-terrano]

Ryan, you take no notice of him. If you want to do the car up as you see fit then go for it. It's a great learning experience for you besides giving you something to do. You already sound a practical person so this can only benefit you and you'll hopefully have something to show for your efforts.

Thank you :) yeah, I do enjoy working on cars, with the Hyundai, I wanted to buy it, do it up then sell it on for a profit, start small and work you're way up:thumb2, also, I driven a Volvo and it was nice, also very practical for what I do :thumb2

No insurance=no license=no work in my opinion :o
Just seems daft to me getting more cars without being able to drive one and therefore afford to do what you like with them :nenau
