It is confirmed it will cost me £56 to buy it back i have rang this morning to confirm. They now have to get in touch with my insurance who then have to ring me to tell them what to do next. I hope its going to be this weekend i can sort it as i go away on wednesday and would like it at least at home then i don't have to worry about it.
So it shall be bought back

Gutted for you mate, but at least you're going to make some pennies from buying it back
I think I bought my old corsa back for £15

..told you to buy it back and strip it in the first place
buyit back price is usually 10% of the offer, so you've got a bargain there!

Robbo don't be sad. I know i have to pay excess but i come off better this way, as even though i pay the excess i still wil make more than the £900 they offered.

your guess is as good as mine. the recovery gave me a number to ring and then they told me to ring the insurance. Check for the car has been sent tho.

Told you to buy it back and strip it (i know you said space is a problem but maybe leave it on road under cover and leave the tax on it ), well worth the time and ..... fun for the money you can get from it but im well surprised you can buy it back for that much! Bargain
Hope your feeling better tho mate and u2u me when you get a thread in parts for sale
