Why would I do this rather than go through the insurance? Surely I have to waste my time finding body shops, getting quotes, then getting the other party to agree to pay the quoted price without haggling, then actually get the money from her.

Going through the insurance sounds like a lot less hassle to me

It depends on your priorities, if you want less hassle, then yes, go through insurance. However, if you don't want your premiums to rise for the next 5 years then I'd get it done privately. The amount you'd pay probably wouldn't be a million miles from your excess either...

Don't insurance companies sometimes use incidents against you even if its not your fault (or even if you don't claim through them)?

[furtive]

I'm old and my insurance is cheap. Even if my premium goes up a little bit, my time is very expensive so I'll still be quids in

Love it. Love the way it looks, sounds and how it drives. Dont love every single mark that shows up on the black tho. Its bad

[gazza5]

although I think white can sometimes be just as bad.

Hopefully my white one will be here soon - can't wait to get out of diesel - although will miss the mpg!

Out of interest, what diesel are you leaving behind? I'll be leaving a GTD MY14 behind. It's been a good car but like you, can't wait to get back into petrol. I'm actually looking forward to paying more for the higher RON juice!

Yeah I know what you mean, I've had quite a few black cars and it's the best colour when clean but that lasts for about 5 minutes! The grey isn't much better but I'll forgive it for being such a cracking car, I've been using it instead of my company car which is going to get a bit expensive but I can't help it!

I am learning to overlook a lot of stuff. Like splatted bugs all over the front every time i go out.

I'm leaving behind a 11 plate astra 2.0 cdti. Tbh it's been a excellent car, nothing gone wrong,I just fancied something petrol and with some zip!

Always wanted a auto always since 2008. So Cheap lease came up and just went for it. My cars done 60k miles, plenty of life left in it, but only enjoyed diesel for long trip mpg, hated it when it's a cold morning and takes ages to heat up etc. The noise etc

Nice one, similar reasons to me really. Any idea when you are getting yours? Mine should be delivered within 2 weeks if all stars align etc

[arj7]

Is the best time to hope for new lease deals around the new reg time?
Changed job and currently have a 5 mile commute so I want to get rid of my Gtd and get one of these 😁

Just got finance docs so hoping not too long. I don't think the dealer will want it hanging around for long.

[Mark Benson]

Mine was delivered at 9am this morning. I'm in meetings all day. Agony.

[marcosgt]

Mine's coming on Monday apparently.

Anyone want a well used Mazda RX8?
