My griff sold on ebay

[Paul V]

Was chatting to the guy from sportmotive at the Griff Growl, was telling him about the accident in my Griff and he said he thought he had seen it on ebay a few weeks back, have done a search and found it linky

Hope someone repairs it.

i was watching that one. think it was a bargain, rather wished i had some space and bid too, seening as a 5.0 rv8 and box sold for £4200 recently on ebay.
did you have the chance to buy it back from the insurance company?

Insurance company wanted over £6000 for it, think it was a good price as the engine was rebuilt last year which cost over £3000, had silicon hoses and a few other nice bits.

Was there anything structural damaged underneath?
Seems a bit odd they'd write it off for what looks like just a nose job, a bit of work on the back quarter, a new rad and a respray.

Have you still got all the bills ? Knowing you i expect to see them on e-bay soon

Bodyshop quoted 10.5K for the repair, they wrote it off after that, no damage to chassis etc, drove it onto the recovery truck. It also had adjustable shocks, recent wishbones and polybushes, sleeved exhaust etc.

How did you guess? Need to fund the Tuscan spray and tune up after all

just goes to show doesnt it! insurance company as you said wanted 6g s for it, yet the salvage company sold it for just over 4 on ebay and still probably made a healthy profit.!

It also got a Cat C, the damage was fairly light and I only expected it to be a Cat D. The car was already a cat D car when I bought it and the damage was not as bad this time around, looks like its been knocked about a bit in its life, apparently it also had some rear end damage when it was in singapore.

I wasn't going to argue with them as they gave me a very good payout, I do hope someone will repair it though and not just break it for parts.
