Have a gander

Sure its a cheap car on the surface but we have to understand that it was written off for more than just the owner saying "i dont want it back it got wet" if it was economic to repair and was easily repairable then the insurer would have insisted this were the course of action to take wouldnt they?

The part I think you're missing Adam is not the cost of repair, but all of the associated costs with damage like this - a replacement car whilst this is in for (possibly lengthy) repairs would be a fortune. I've heard of hire cars like Lambos and Bentleys costing £30k per month through insurance channels. Just one month of this makes the car a total loss based on Loz's £47k valuation. That's why damaged cars can be a real bargain these days, the damage is the smallest part of the bill.

I can appreciate Adam that if water ingressed into the cabin , then other factors and costs come into play ecu's, electrical dry joints etc , but i found out from my mate who works for Newport Pagnell, thats where the insurance report was carried out , that its purely water ingressed into the engine , No water into the cabin at all , the report was halted the minute they undid the oil drain plug and water was found in the oil , so most likely hydrolocked , they didn't go any further as the costs of a total strip down at AMWS is beyond belief and they have been there before

The Aston definately after my phone call , Fezza's still a good mark up there for someone doing it for themselves and many do especially Main dealer techs as a side line and a way for them to get into the marque for less cost ,
