right...

after thursday nights problems, and now the lack of a car... i'm going to look at getting a 1.2i mk nova spin in glacier white. it's located in volverhampton, bit of a trek but going to have a look.

1993 K reg VAUXHALL NOVA 76,000 miles Manual Petrol one owner from new,good reliable car 12 months mot taxed till march 07 ,ideal for newly passed drivers cheap tax and insurance.

?350 o.n.o.

with the claim going to be against my name i'll drive it round a for a bit and then look at dropping a gte lump in it. hopefully i might be able to keep my engine, but going to report it to the insurance today and claim, so fingers crossed i can and they don't say they want to keep the whole car...

bit slow on the reporting, but spent all of yesterday in a&e in st. albans, then a&e in watford last night. woke up with pins and needles and tingling in my right arm and leg... after several hours they said i have no spinal injuries just bad wiplash and a bruised sternum.

anyway, what sort of price should i be looking to pay?

thanks
chris

most insurance companys let you buy your car back at scrap value so it saves them a job. go for it mate and while youre getting the no claims with the 1.2 strip and rebuild the gte engine

it's tuned to 110bhp, induction kit, straight through powerflow system with avo's on the rear. nice car, but handles nothing like a nice nova :(

went and looked at another nova tonight, listed as immaculate... what can i say, lies, it's all lies
