| Possible write off on Bostrom Rep...what to do?
What a pain......60 odd mph get off on the 339 leads to bike tree interface more or less head on. Fork tubes bent (Ohlins too), radiator, new discs, quite a bit of plastic plus plus means that total bill is going to be c. £7500. This against a Bos Rep 998S May '02 with c. 4000 up. Repairer reckons they'll write it off, but I love the Bos Rep and don't think it'll be easy to replace. Dunno what val is but I've seen 998s's advertised with similar mileage for c. £10k and they don't have the Ohlins forks.
I could reduce the bill if I sourced a few parts elsewhere, but am really not sure what the best course of action is.
Does anyone know what policy insurers have in terms of repairs/value? I reckon it's about 60%,if above they write off, so I reckon I could bring the bill down a bit.
What might they offer me if it IS written off, and any idea or recent sales evidence of 998s's or if anyone knows of a Bos Rep for sale, please let me know?
Any ideas or experiences would be most welcome?
I realize this could go in the insurance section, but might not get noticed there!!!
And before all you clever clogs suggest I take a cheque and buy a 999 I don't want one!!!!!!!!  |
