Money paid into bank from insurance company car at body shop and they said a 3 week turn around with a first class promiss before i pay for the job done. Knowing I would be in front with the money saved on the body shop price to the insurance payout off i went to the dealers again but they said they could not do the same deal so i shopped round, I was receiving all different prices to be fair but then one dealer said £17400.00 brand new Leaf Tekna first owner in white, solar and 6.6kv charger no battery lease WOW ordered but the dealer did not want my Mk 1 ? Ow dear the wife said OMG I THOUGHT but did not let on. New car coming next week and MK 1 coming from body shop next week OMG. My pal comes round how much? Don't know £13K 13 reg 6k miles suits me deal, so thats all sorted no thanks to insurance company and the driver with no licence insurance and not having permission to drive the car in the first place.
Any one done better on price ? £17400.00?
