- MERCEDES E350 CDI V6 SPORT ESTATE 7 SEATER
Exactly 4 weeks and 1 day since purchasing my new Merc I am sitting in the doctors car park on the phone after picking up my mothers prescription when BANG a Toyota Aygo has reversed into the back of my car not even bothering to stop, the driver speeds off well if you call around 10mph speeding off I am fuming I don't even bother to get out and look at the damage I go into Bullitt mode even though Staffordshire Moorlands is a far cry from the streets of San Fransisco it doesnt take me long to catch this inconsiderate driver up I am behind him flashing my lights for him to stop does he, no he carries on at the neck breaking speed of 20mph no chance of a flying car scene on this edge of the seat car chase. Eventually he pulls into his drive and I alight and approach him, his son gets out of the car and he can't be a day under 70 I watch as his father alights at a leisurely pace and totters towards us, on broaching the subject asking them why they didn't stop after hitting my car as we walked around the back of my car where I was expecting at least a cracked and mangled bit of plastic which probably costs a fortune to replace just a minor scuff normally I would have been a bit more sympathetic but driving off and their attitude that they didnt know they had reversed into me soon made any sympathy disappear (the incident has been recorded on the doctors CCTV so there is no word of theirs against mine). Now he wants to pay cash rather than put it through the insurance company. I know a great bodyshop in the potteries who do an excellent job at very reasonable prices do I lower myself to their standards and take it to the Mercedes main dealer and get a quote off them and present that to them and pocket the difference normally I wouldn't.
