205's been in an accident.

[strictly_perv]

Probably worth 700-1000.
If your going to settle it that way, get a recipt printed up with both your signature and his on once you've paid him and detailing the reason why.

He said he paid £1,100 for it but praps he's boosting it up abit. I'll settle with £1000 for the car which I think is pretty fair.

I don't want to get insurance to get involved simply because it will be cheaper doing it this way after I pay excess, and the incrrease of insurance ect.
