Amazone480 · Post by **Amazone480** » Tue May 17, 2005 8:50 pm

At the end of the day, when I tryed to get home from my work, I end up in the busy traffic.

We where standing stil arround Dordrecht (nl) when a 55+ guy behind me tryed to close the line and braked too late

I cursed him so badley that hey was a little frightened of me

I've brought here directly to the dealer after we sign the damage form, so hopefuly she wil be just as pretty as she where before.

I hope my neck and my headache are finnished in a few day's

And after she is fixed I gonna let her rest voor a few years so knowone can crash her again

It good that you're OK. This is what is really important. Car you can buy or sell but health no. After all it doesn't look very bad. Just a bumper as I suppose.

The pain..it is always the pain when you see your car damaged...until Saturday it was the same for me..but now got the lights sorted..
I feel even more sorry for you, as your car is exactly the same colour as mine...
ALL the best..and glad that you are all right

Hope that you are ok and the headache isn't too bad

The same sort of thing happend to me recently, but my car was saved by the towbar that is fitted.

Hopethat your car is sorted out soon, and back to how it should be.

I do hope the damage is only the bumper, but I don't know yet.
Today they gonna check here on the bridge at the dealer then I know more.

Headache is not realy bad but not over yet, so mayby I have to visit the dockter anyway

Thnx for the support

Yes I think so...

I was the young little guy with the blue cap..

Unfortunately I missed the tour and I couldn't stay that long because I had to go home and study for my exams...

She is fixed allready!! and more beautiful then before

And so quickly!!!! in a week time, thanks to "volvo insurance"

But I did'nt expect the price of the damage was so high, about â‚¬1775,00

They discused or she was total loss or not, Thank god she was'nt

.
So it was not just the bumpers but olso the crash zone (not much)

Great news; glad you're OK and sounds like the garage has done you proud as well.
Enjoy your new car

Good to hear that you got your car fixed

I think with the same damage here it would have been written of

If you see what volvo dares to ask for a used 480 the can't write it off for less than 3000 i'd say.

JohnTurbo · Post by **JohnTurbo** » Sun May 29, 2005 6:22 pm

Ha! Volvo tried to write my 94T off because it needed new brake disks, pads, front suspension bushes and brake pipes. They only mentioned this to the previous owner after performing a Â£350 service. Considering it had a full history (and indeed was bought) from that garage, the owner felt a little ripped off to say the least.

Â£800 was the quote for the work.

Bramdeman · Post by **Bramdeman** » Sun May 29, 2005 6:40 pm

Yeah but 480s are cheap in the uk compared to holland. There's an '95S for sale at a Volvo dealer for 10900 euros and a GT for 8000. Cheapest one in holland at a dealer is a '92 for 4000 !

No way could they write off simone's 480 for 1775â‚¬

That's some bad news simone,

Fortunately u where allright and the car got fixed too. Where you serious about not driving it anymore?????? Maybe its a good thing to build in a ships fog horn linked up to one of those distance measuring thingies. Stand in a traffic jam and someone forgets to pay attention and gets to close................ well you can catch my drift here
