Default RIP S2000 :(

Well had a bit of an accident on the way home from work thursday night and well i think the pictures say it all!






Still waiting on the insurance company to get back to me but i think its fairly obvious its a write off. so my first question is what sort of payout should i push for from them. It was an 04 moonrock with 73000 miles. perfect A1 condition and full honda service history so it really was a prime example of the car!

second point is i will be looking to buy another S in the coming months. so if anyone hears about or has an 04 onwards car for sale then let me know! moonrock would be the preferred colour but am open to other options. max price of £9000.

But yeah, a bit of a sad day for me

haha yeah i hope i get a decent one to. any idea what i should try and get? i understand that most of the time the first offer is pretty crap so it can be open to negotiation?

wont be selling the spoiler im afraid I'm going to get another S i think so will take it off and save it for that one

Sorry to see your misfortune. I hope everyone involved in the accident is alright?

Did you tell your insurance company that you painted the brake calipers blue?

They could get arsey if you didn't.

Chris.

Buy it back and fix it surely? I know rear wings are a pita to replace but the rest of it looks mint.

Ouch!!

Glad your ok dude, cars can be replaced. I had my first scare in a year there last week, lost traction at 70ish on the motorway on a wet night

Luckily all I need is a wheel and a wishbone bush!!

Ouch! That makes me feel sad inside but these things happen and as long as everyone is ok that's the main thing!

Was the car yours from new or did you buy it secondhand? If secondhand what was the reg? Only reason I ask is it looks exactly like my old one
