Well after 20000km my Focus TDCI has been written off. But the good news is that it was Insured so I went out on friday and bought another one Identical in every way, but with less km's only 10000km. Will try and attatch photos of wreck.

That looks like quite a violent hit, how did that happen?
I like it how you've already got another one, no mucking around ![]() |

To get an identical one tells me you must love the car. still, i'm terribly sorry to hear of another focus off the road. breaks my heart.

Were you given the option of buying the wreck? If not, check with your insurer, they may not have auctioned it off yet.
I did hear that FOCUS is the #1 car to be in, in a crash the other day. Glad you're OK too. .... not that I'm interested in any parts...

I'd love to know who your insurer was - I had a crash in late June 2009 with over $17k damage and it wasn't a write-off and it took 9 weeks to get any action out of my insurance company.

Thanks for the replys guys, was given salvage wrights but the car was bent like a banana. Was hit by a 4WD. Had to brake suddenly to avoid some idiots stuffing around on the road I managed to stop just in time, but the car behind me didn't. Love the new one just 10,000km was out of pocket 2K. Shannons the insurer. They promised me I would have the check next week.

Insurance rang me today and asked if I wanted to buy my wreck back, I said how much?? they said 5K, for a joke I said , I will give you 3K, they said ok!! I said no thanks!!
![]() ![]() Forgot to mention put my XR5 wheels back on(took them off the wreck before it was taken away) ahhh things back to normal.... My new TDCi doesnt have as much pull as the old one, feels tight, maybe its not run in yet???? Last edited by elgreko; 16-09-2009 at 11:12 AM. |
