Crashed my VRS on my way to work couple of weeks ago. Slid on a very greasy road and hit central barrier side on after spining it at 60mph. Insurance claim it as beyond econimical repair.

Got a pay out of £1400 so was very happy with that.

 

So, iv gone out and found a wee gem. 

2003 VRS on a 52 plate,129k, full respray, alloys roconditioned, new disc and pads all round, new clutch, timing belt done at 112k, MOT in July and remapped to 220bhp all for the price of............£900.........

Even my wee lad wants to help out cleaning it

Sad news but at least you're okay. Score on the new car.

Wow,

it could have been a lot worse for you, that was some experience!!, glad your in one piece.

 

The new one looks brilliant, what a nice conclusion to a worrying time    . 

Glad you're ok!

GUTTED BUT KINDA A RESULT  #TEAMBLACK

Sickening and a horrible feelimg when it starts to go and you realise youre just going along for the ride coz physics has taken control...

however, your up 500quid, and have a ,imo, better looking car! Plus you wlked away intact, so thats an overall positive result

nice new vrs! Glad you're ok.

Whats the insurance and tax on that mapped vrs?

Whats the insurance and tax on that mapped vrs?

 

Tax is the same as a standard one - band J (currently £265 for 12 months). Insurance on a lightly modded car should be about the same or maybe cheaper than a standard one if you go to a specialist insurer like Chris Knott. Mine is insured with them for £225

No channge to my insurance at the moment although im not looking forward to my re-newal quote in March...............

Excellent! Thanks for the contact. Much less than what I'm paying for an old 2002 2.0l octavia!

Cheers

 

update:

 

Vehicles must be less than 8 years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles on the clock at the start of cover.

  :no:  that's a shame. Justification to update my skoda!
