Im now the owner of a one of a kind banana omega.
Woke up today after a night shift to my girlfriend saying "you didnt park very well last night, your car is on the pavement..."
Knowing that I wouldnt have left it like that, I went outside to find someone had kindly driven into the mig at enough speed to lift it a couple of foot from where it was parked onto the pavement, and then made off.
Damage; well they've hit the passenger B pillar and rear door hard enough to move the sill about 8" into the car. Needless to say its now a write off.
To say Im gutted is an understatement.
Unfortunately I have to leave it opposite a junction, but its a quiet residential area (usually).
According to neighbours they pretty much destroyed a wall about 100m away and couldnt get the car started, then pushed it down the road into mine.
Im guessing they were trying to bump it, succeded, and drove straight into mine, a mig wont move that much by people pushing it. No skid marks, looks like they didnt even brake.
I asked if any of the neighbours thought to take the reg, but typically they didnt, no.
Police arent interested as there is no other driver - wouldnt even give me an accident ref number, or crime ref no
So, now im left with losing 6 years no claims, or just breaking it and trying to get some money back that way. Given my excess and the value of the car I'll probably break it.
Could anyone give me a rough idea of what sort of money a 3.0 saloon elite breaks for? No sat nav, boggo standard display and broken ccr2006, everything else in good condition, cambelt covered under 300 miles.........
cheers
