AltezzaRs200

Well, i should get the engineers report soon so ill see how bad it is. It didnt look that bad apart from the exhaust hanging and some scratches and scruffs here and there i couldnt see any other damage. The diesel spillage could have been the cause infact i think it was the cause. So i guess i was a bit unfair on Altezza's. To be honest i was accelerating in second gear and all i remember is that i suddenly lost complete control. It was just so strange and unreal i couldnt really understand why the car lost control so easily. I think the only explanation is that slippery diesel spillage on the road. Lucky i wasnt going any faster cause otherwise i wouldnt have been here writing this message.

mate i was in second gear going in a straight line at roughly 40 mph. The car lost all grip and went in circles a couple of times b4 it ended up partially on the barrier. Maybe when i say it is a write off you thought its in a right mess. But if u see it you would be hard struck to figure out how did it end up being a right off. Ive been driving cars for donkey years and ive given them some bad treatment in the past but ive never experienced what i experienced with this altezza. Im not impressed at all. I have to say that sadly that was the last time ill ever drive or sit in an altezza!

btw its a 1999 reg. hmmm or it was a 1999 reg.

i really think thats a good idea. i was actually looking around yesterday on the net to see what kind of a price the car goes for. There is one problem though which the engineer pointed out to me. He said normally they would give the market value of the car but in this case cause its an import and cause it hadnt yet met the uk spec requirements they dont really know how to value it or how to work out its market value. They did say they would accept a reciept unfortunately i lost that and now i am thinking of doing some research as to how much a car with no sva and mot or registration would be worth in the uk. do any of you know some companies who import cars and sell them without sva e.t.c.? Cause it would be interesting to see how much they value their cars for? Scott u'd definately know cause u import cars. how much do you think theyre worth without an sva?

hmmmm! That doesnt sound good!!!

any ideas on the market value?

yeah they will but dunno how much.

the car lost control on a slip road while accelerating in second gear and ended up partially on the barrier. It had to be recovered e.t.c. and when police arrived they pointed out some diesel spillage on the road as the probable cause.

guys, It is with great regret i have to inform you that my Altezza RS200 has been written off. I dont know how much my insurance company are planning to pay off for it but i was wondering if anyone knew what the market value for the following would be: Altezza RS200, 17 inch Alloys, Rear Spoiler, a/c, silver colour, tinted windows e.t.c. Mileage of 40,000 miles. The car hadnt passed SVA and MOT yet. But almost all the work had been done. Can anyone find out the market value for the car taking into account it hadnt been registered e.t.c?
