JoeyG Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Ahh, Gutted. Nice looking Fiesta Van, got full body kit on :-). Quite nice to see the knee airbags work, I wouldn't think that was a write off, brand new fiesta van - 13K+ it,s not gona be more than 10K to fix that is it?

b1g_dav3 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 That worries me quite a bit, so little damage for a write off :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The fact the airbags have gone off shows it was a relatively high force collision. You only need the subframe to be out of alignment and it can easily cause a write off. Plus who knows how much damage has happened to the engine, it soon adds up.

Jackx Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 No way can't that be a write off, seen 5+ year old cars with more damage than that and still repaired :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 My old mk6 fiesta was involved in a crash and the bodywork wasn't that bad but the air bags deployed and the recovery man was telling me pretty much as soon as the air bags are deployed its 90% of the time a right off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_S Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Just spoken to my neighbour - he said it is definitely a write-off He hit the back of another car on a dual carriageway - as he said "it was quite an impact" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathrin Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 If there's a structural damage it's deemed a Cat B "Beaker" there and then, cosmetically it can look fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
