Flew to Adelaide to pick up my first XR6 - was really excited. Never occurred to me to ship it back to Melbourne - mainly cos I was looking forward to the drive home :w00t2:

Sorry to hear about this - it's terrible when you can't trust business' to do the right thing by you when you are paying good money. I will be steering clear of CEVA if I ever need to do something like this for some reason.

Another update... I managed to get them to admit to partial damage, front bar and wheels. Excuse was that they picked it up on the wrong truck not meant for FPV's and it hit the section between the first and second ramps. The wheels apparently scratched when they were trying to get it off there.

I am still pressuring them to admit to all damage. Now I have them partially liable my insurance can handle the rest.

It was picked up by Sheen Panel Repairs yesterday for them to inspect it today along with the National Claims Manager of Ceva. Whilst it was on the tray I got a good look under it to see the bent fuel lines and cover as well as deep gashes to passenger side skirts in line with the bent fuel line cover. I have just mentioned that to them so lets see what happened.

I am due to get it back sometime next week, apparently.

Why don't you just leave it for your insurance company to deal with entirely? Provided you can give them the details of the at-fault party then there'll be no excess nor influence on any good driver ratings you may have.

Would be a lot less fcking around.

it would have been however there were two possible parties, the dealer and the transport company.

My insurer, AAMI, wanted me to pay the excess to them for them to eliminate one of the parties. I said I pay my premiums for you guys to work this out and are providing 1 of 2 possible parties who damaged my ute and they still insisted that I need to pay it to them. Then after they are satisfied all damages are caused by the at fault party, they will refund me.

It is probably the way it is with all insurers however the people I have spoken with at AAMI have been sh!thouse, rude and extremely unhelpful, so I am in the process of finding another insurer.
