Last Friday whilst about to join a fast stretch of A road I stopped to give way (just before the give way line) to a car traveling at ~70mph. Unfortunately the chap behind me floored it into the back of me. The chap had been tailgating me down a country lane for 1/4 mile and didn't seem to realise that I was stopping.
Annoyingly the damage to the rear of my car is several times the market value. So it's going to be an insurance write off. I'm thinking that I'll get another car - I've been looking for a current gen Audi A3 for a while now albeit they seem v. expensive compared to the K10. However I've also been wondering whether I should sell off parts of it if I don't scrap it. Is it worth anything? The engine is just past 102k and has only just started to use coolant and oil in the last 2k miles (I added K seal and that appears to have stopped it over the last 1k miles). I've always done oil changes every 6 months along with all the other recommend fluid and filter changes. Body is in not too bad a condition - has been clayed and machine polished once and washed and waxed fortnightly. So I'm just trying to sound out what I should do with it if I have the option of breaking it. Battery is only 6 months old too. All seems such a waste to scrap it.
Cheers,
Dan
