Thread: Inspecting my first Disco tomorrow

Hi Sc0tt,
Lucky you, you get to go through the whole selection process again, and now you are a lot more LR savvy. Sorry to hear about your weather incident, better than being stolen or in a bad accident. You're OK, that's the main thing.........moving right along......next..............

Sorry to hear Scott.
I dont think they fix badly hailed vehicles.
I hope your insurance company is kind.
GOODLUCK
Andrew

No drama Scott. I didn't take it badly. I certainly do feel lucky. I had little hope of finding the FFRR unscathed.

That's painful Sc0tt,

As Andy said, hopefully yoru insurance will handle it well.

I flew out of Brisbane airport just after 4 this arvo...... seems I didnt miss the mayhem by much

That sux! I'd hate to have to start looking again from scratch.
I'm still looking and am feeling a bit bummed out too at the moment.
I don't fair very well without having a Landy to drive ;o(

HI Scott


Sorry to read about the damage to your Disco.
I hope all goes good for you and you receive a good result
with your insurance company.


regards Kev

Thanks all.

I am in two minds as to whether they will fix it. The roof is the main concern. Lots of damage on all the hard angles and the paint has been cracked/lifted in places. The rear quarter only has three or four dents that could be pulled/pushed out with the right tools. The other damaged panels all just bolt off and can be replaced.

With a $34,600 agreed value, it seems like a lot or repairs could be done, but if they sold the car as is they may get $16k for it. They get my excess, plus the remainder of the premium. Need to leave 15-20% of what's left to cover the repairs for life claim. That leaves about $13,700 for the actual repairs before the car is uneconomical for the insurer to repair.

That is not a lot of money, really.....

Damn.

Regards
Scott

Bummer about that ! Good luck with the insurer. I've seen some pretty massive hail damage repaired largely by paintless methods which are economical so there is hope.
