And we wonder why car insurance premiums are high.
« on: 23 August 2023, 17:38:23 »
A friend of my wife's husband front ended his Nissan Note(someone has to own one).

It was taken in for repair and he was provided with a courtesy car - nearly 5 months ago!

Repairer says they are awaiting parts.

It's a 2013 Nissan, I would have thought the cost of the courtesy car and repairs must be more than the cars worth.

Nearly new cars are being written off for minor bolt on damage due to parts lead times and shortages.
