spoke to insurance company who are not sure if they will offer it to original owner first, not holing my breath

[rockhound]

what kind of price am i looking to hear from the insurance company if they offer me the car back ,   im guessing its going to classed as a cat D write off,     the car in good condition with no history is selling for about 9k

[05omegav6]

Only they can answer that

TBH I am surprised that you're still even considering it...

[Crazycarzowner]

Stolen recovered cars are usually classed as category X

[rockhound]

what percentage is normally knocked off for a stolen recovered  , just so i can be ready when they tell me what they want for it ?

[05omegav6]

Have you actually asked them? Assuming they have paid out, they will be looking to get as much back upto that amount as possible.

I imagine it will be more than you have already paid for it, and after the problem getting a key sorted, I suspect you will regret buying it... again

Did you not think to brake the car for parts when you started to think something was up with it? Would suck if I found out my omega was cloned

Stupid boy That would have left Mr Rockhound having to explain to the insurers why he shouldn't give them any money that he might have earned from dismantling their car suspect it would also make him an accessory to the original theft...

[rockhound]

they want 9700 for it

And that surprises you because...

[tunnie]

Sounds about right, think you said you paid around £9k for it previously? Which was much lower than it's true value I think?

[rockhound]

but surely a car that need new chassis numbers and vin changed back and also has stolen record against it would de-value it by thousands wouldn't it  ?

Irrelevant really they own it, they effectively bought it and that is what they're asking for it my advice, fwiw,

LET IT GO

Oh dear what a silly suggestion 

And who in their right mind would go to a lot of trouble to clone an Omega - not worth their while cashwise

To the Op - agree with Al - let it go and unfortunately you have learned an expesive lesson - if its really cheap there is a reason for that - these guys play on "greed"

called the insurance today and said if i don't want the car back then will they refund me at least the price i have spent on the car,   2 rear calipers and brakes all round ,  and full service ,   comes to about £870   

No they said as we cant say the car needed the parts you have said,   i have all the receipts but are they just taking the piss out of me and trying to fob me off or am i entitled to the money back
