James Baggott 227 Posted February 6, 2014 I was shocked at this - great story though! I wonder who picks up the tab. Insurers? But if it was just left there is it still covered? Hmmm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
used car seller 8 Posted February 23, 2014 a reply i found on " pistonheads" quote = This is/was my fathers car. I agree with all your comments but please read on as to why the car was left. He could see the kerb all the way under the bridge so presumed the water level was low. Half way through the puddle the car stalled, water up the exhaust without high revs, etc. Dad opened the door only for the water to poor in! He contacted his insurance company immediately who said there is no way they can move or touch the car due to the water being contaminated! They would wait until the water level reduced due to health and safety. Well it has not stopped has it! We presumed it would be a write off due to the water getting into the electrics etc but waited to hear any news. Unfortunately the area of Lynne/ Chertesy is renowned for pikies/travellers which thanks to not paying any taxes have bought houses in the area. Word would have spread pretty quickly and Dad went each day to check on the car. He was alerted that the tracker had gone off but then the signal vanished. He went check after that again only for the car to have gone! It looks like the car was moved into the inlet where it could not be seen. It was then stripped to how you see the pictures now. It is disgraceful but that's life! http://www.petrolheads.co.uk/xforums/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=1376179&mid=0&i=100&nmt=Audi+RS5+stripped+at+roadside%3F&mid=0 the reg still shows as taxed and on the road according to dvla so it seems the insurance company are dragging there feet if they are actually going to pay out having not informed dvla that its catb ?
