General Is my GP repairable or written off?

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Sorry to hear about your incident - My first GP had a shunt - knocked the rear end about 2" out of alignment with the rest of the car. The garage did a £2.5k repair job on it, and tbh it looked as good as new. Problem was, it never drove the same - had a wierd vibration over 40-50mph (and I was doing quite a bit of m/way driving at the time). I ended up getting rid simply because I didn't feel safe driving it anymore. I wish they had just written it off in the first place..

If they managed to fix mine, I can't see why they can't fix yours. But you may never be happy driving it again if it feels different...

Why did you sell it and not send the car back to be checked and fixed properly? If you suspected it was dangerous why would you allow some poor person who hasn't a clue about the cars history to be driving around in what could be a dangerous car

I drove it round for over 2 yrs after it'd been repaired. It was checked and taken out by the garage several times - each time they said it was fine. The dealers that bought it didn't have a problem with it anyway.

An right, fair enough.

My dad thinks its not worth fixing as it might not drive well eer again - and then I'll be stuck with it, and considering I had suspension damage, chances are that it might drive differently. I'll probably find out her fate early this week... I'm currently alternating between a Prius, and a 150 T-Jet Bravo (no prizes for guessing which one I prefer), although I wouldn't mind replacing my GP with a 1.3 M-Jet manual trans - as Dualogic was only good while I still wasnt very good at driving a manual.

@ Sh4dow, did your airbags deploy?

& Kerr1992, that sucks! Nothing worse than having a brand new car crashed!

I doubt it with it being a rear impact, not what airbags are designed for.

Just got a call from the insurer, it's written off. They're getting an independent assessor to come an assess its value and it'll be auctioned off from there, i'm going to be constantly looking at all the salvage auction websites hahah

Thanks for everyone's advice/insights/help!
