Need some friendly forum advice about work :)

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Written off means that the insurance company declared it as a total loss. In that case it would definately show on a HPI check.

Often people use that car just to describe a car with more than superficial damage, and thats probably the case here, as a car thats written off and repaired, is seldom repaired at the dealer!

Nice one man...shit hours, but otherwise sounds fun!! Anyway, talking volvo isn't really work is it?

Well, i suppose now i can ask them to dig out as much history for the car as they have-i will work for them so that should be a legitimate enough reason! I didn't think it would have been totally written off-wouldn't it have been 'Q' registered anyway? Still not a nice thought though, my poor little baby :lol:

Indeed-shitty hours, but i'm gonna have to take the plunge and make a descision sometime-might aswell be now! And talking Volvo's isn't that bad either...i'm sure it will give Shaneeka a break, she know's quite alot about Volvo now :lol:

Cheers guys-i think i'll get a little tipsy tomorrow :D

Wouldn't worry about the write off thing mate, I've bought plenty of my cars from salvage yards and put em back on the road (ok, I've then run em into the ground and scrapped em but...) as long as the works been done right theres no problem

And good luck with the new job mate, hope it works out for you

Happy birthday :D

Happy birthday dude. Celebrate with the new job and all that :) Any chance of setting me up with a good price on an S40, preferably diesel? ;)
