Had a car run into the back of the patrol today hit pretty hard but didn't do too much damage Attachment 33662
The other car wasn't so lucky
Attachment 33663
Glad I drive a patrol not a little buzz box.
^^^^^^^^^ ouch
I had a bloke smash in to the rear of my VY didn't look bad either, then a mate at a panel shop checked it out properly and the damage behind the plastic bumper bar was quite extensive
You still got a few thousand dollars damage. Claim the rear bar and change it to steel. LolQuote:

Give AAMI a call mate, no complaints about them here.
Got a quote for $5500 to repair now to see if insurance will give me a payout so I can get a rear bar fitted instead of a new bumper.Quote:

The panel beaters tell me 99% of the damage is bits that are removed to fit the steel bar anyway so might get lucky. One place reckons they can get them fitted as part of the insurance claim if the whole job comes out cheaper. Not a bad way to get a bar fitted on the cheap I reckon
I'd be surprised if it isn't something to do with P plates..........Quote:

I'd be half tempted to have a whinge to 4WD Victoria and see what they have to say.
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
If that's their reason (which I suspect it is) then they should just say soQuote:

When I had my bull bar replaced they got a quote for a alloy bar at $2200.. I said to them a Arb steel winch bar is only $1600. They said no worries and installed it all..Quote:

And THAT is exactly what happened to Frank cept I wasn't aware. (Small print and all) AAMI Agreed Value has to physically be negotiated EVERY time your policy renews OR you drop to market value ..... Won't be making that mistake with SeamusQuote:

Im also with AAMI, they have been petty good to me this far, not that i have actually had to make a claim though.Quote:

And the problem is??Quote:

I'm not understanding how that affects their policy's or ability to insure.....
I'm with Shannon's and they have been good. They cover everything except recovery from a river.
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
Commodore is playing up!!! Backfiring its litte a!s off and stalling!!!
I want my Patrol back!!!
Shannon's will not touch drivers under 25 years old, I tried them today.Quote:
