End of my c30 d5

Danielpsmith · Nov 14th, 2021, 20:05

Had my c30 d5 for nearly 2 years and spent a lot of time and money getting it how I wanted apart from wheel a refurb which was booked in.

Then my wife taking the kids to school and someone pulled out with no where to go and that was the end for it already been wrote off.

As long as your wife and children were OK and the car protected them from injury, then it has done all that could be asked of it, Daniel.

A car can be replaced; your family cannot. Hopefully the offending driver has accepted liability for the accident and is fully insured. Were the Police involved; charged the third party of any offence?

Regards, John.

My wife and son are abit bruised and shook up but will be fine thank you.

The man admitted it straight away to my wife the police and his insurance they called us later on saying he admitted to it and they sorted us a higher car.

So on with the search for a replacement.

Sorry to hear and I'm sure the family are shook up, but as said above: the car did it's job. Good luck with finding its replacement.

Sorry to hear, thats some bad luck, if you need any help eyeballing likely candidates in the south let me know 😁

Appreciate that thank you, they offered us £1869 for the car but I’m challenging it at the moment saying I can’t get anything close for that price so just sent them some examples of similar cars which are £3000+.

So hopefully they will come back with abit more.

But my wife is thinking she wants a different car maybe a 1 series bmw saying another Volvo will never be the same and we will always compare it to the other one. Which to be fair I probably will 😀
