Thought and prayers for the poor driver.

mgwaiting: It apears a certain driver needs to go for Driving lesons before driving a car with so much power.

so seriously though, how would insurance deal with this case? im not in SA..so im keen to understand how this would impact the driver of this car. assuming he took it on financing etc...?

In this instance insurance will cough........now heres hoping the driver has top up cover as well.

There will be a large residual amount between value (market/book) versus interest on outstanding capital.

Gap or shortfall cover is very often overlooked and ignored sadly.

Sad sight. That exhaust muffler is huge.

If the driver is okay, we can ask if he is going to use the Duduzane Zuma defence of the car being at fault?

 

[Nick]

I wonder if those wheels will fit my car.

Unless the car was bought cash :fencelook:

Heavy foot low talent moment it seems.... Or that street lamp was drunk and staggered into the path of the car..... Or that damn squirrel that ran across the road....
:fencelook:
Most insurance companies have a replacement clause in the first year of ownership... Well at least every insurer I have ever had cover with has that as a policy for the first year. Irrespective of kms driven.

Hopefully he or she has similar. One thing is certain though... His cost of cover is likely to increase if he is able to persuade the insurer to take his business going forward :tiptoe:

My Guess (PURELY SPECULATING) would be all traction off powerslide round the corner, into over correction tail snap heading into Pole. (All on cold Tyre's)


The shorter wheelbase will make it more twitchy on the edge than the M4/M3 that it shares its engine with.

The S55 needs to respected and only a skilled person can drive with the TC off.

so just to get this right, insurance will still write it off and the owner (leasing company
- if on a lease) gets the value of the car paid back to them? then the owner gets nothing and he is settled?

i dunno, this seems like getting away with murder....?

 

[Nick]

I dont think its leased, its not a very common thing to do in SA.

Either buy it cash or Finance through the Bank.
