That's one sad end to your Coupe,Gary,
But glad you are still here to tell the tale.
Hope you heal soon mate.

As for the values,I have been looking at M Coupes for a few months or so,and a Silver grey could with about 86/87k miles is on for £18,500, which would be around 17-17.5k to take home,from a garage,I would reckon,...,so I would be asking for 17500,and settle for no less than 17,000 £. Given the cost of a replacement.

Hope you get back into an M Coupe soon mate,and heal up properly :thumbsup:

A really sad story in every respect OP, except that you seem to be on the mend - I hope you have a smooth and speedy recovery. :thumbsup:

And £14K does seem too low.

On another note,there is a nice ruby black M Coupe in Edinburgh,that Richie looked over,with 63k miles,in good condition,for £21,995......but are negotiable on price :poke: :D

You know you want to,lol.

Too soon??

You will be sadly missed from the Scottish forum meets.

Horrifying to read and see - so glad you're okay. Hope it doesn't stop you getting behind the wheel of an ///M again!

All the best.

Sad to see the car in that state but in the end it's just a lump of metal that can be replaced you're the important one and you walked/limped away. GWS.

Really sorry to hear about your crash, it must have been awful but really glad to hear you're not too badly injured and are on the mend. I can't believe the person who hit you just drove off, shocking! Anyway, good luck getting it sorted.

Cheers,

Jon.

Thats some crash :o
I hope you sort it out and get well soon (and that that bastard that left the scene gets caught).

Try to maximize your profit by selling the M parts on your car if you can set your mind to that.

You escaped lightly by the looks of the damage. It’s a good job you didn’t have a passenger. I’ve been in that situation but fortunately the other guy woke up to my presence before he hit me.
If the insurance company aren’t keen to make a more reasonable offer, you should start to mutter about personal injury compensation, psychological trauma and loss of earnings. They will be keen to close the claim as soon as possible!

Done well to escape from that. What type of car was the one that hit you?

I must admit, I can't remember overtaking 3 cars at once on a single carriageway. I don't trust anyone these days to maintain discipline, check their mirrors. Probably the last place I did do some serious overtaking, was up in bonny Scotland.... :D

I think you need to push the insurance up a bit as I can't see you getting an M Coupe with 100k miles for that price. Cheapest on AT is £16,900.
