Looks like an isurance fraud to me.

I can't believe that much cosmetic damage would result in a write off!

It looks like the panels of the car itself were untouched (why? - See Troy's post?!)

Needs the Bonnet fixed, new wing mirrors, tidy the interior, steering wheel, filler flap, windscreen wiper and all glass.

Not exactly cheap but nor is it cat-c worthy either!

...or am I seriously missing something?!

[Guest Troy Halliday]

By the time you add parts and labour it would exceed the repair cost percentage to vehicle cost.

All the glass as per book price must exceed

[i must admit if I could afford it I would set up a workshop tomorow. The prices and times quoted by some Lotus workshops is redicules. Plus I would realy enjoy my job at last.

Ok, have started my stopwatch, off to yer garage mate!

[nicksoldies]

There are far easier and more certain ways of making sure it's written off than that. A cut fuel line and a match for example. It looks just like the sort of damage some jealous little cretin would cause. Or maybe the owner upset someone a little bit.

HAhaha

Looked at that car, very strange none of the panels are damaged.

But has been said the damage is quite a bit, tyres as well....though it might look like a fancy track car but 1 Esprit is more than enough atm

Easy fix but I wouldn't mind betting theres more wrong with it than the visials you're attracted to !

Yep...that sort of sight is designed to HURT.

Went to look at a Dollomite Sprint once with a similar type of damage.

Turns out the guys ex. girlfriend had done the damage with the heels of her shoes

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!

I think this is most likely perhaps. A mate of mine shopped someone

in his road who was a habitual drink driver, and within hours every window

and light cluster on my mates car was smashed. Trust the police to take

your information 'in confidence' at your peril!

[Mark Blanchard]

It's back on ebay again. The damage looks worst than before. Looking at the Seller's feed back, he must have done it himself:

[Jonathan]

Yeah these wise crack remarks are totally un-professional.

I'd never buy a car from someone like that unless I knew I was getting a total rip off bargain.

He's got an Elise there as well I was looking at.

Some/most poeple simply have no class, would be ideal track car though I'd offer him

His website - must've thought that changing his username would lose his previous feedback/reputation
