Anyone know any places with Hail Damaged FG MK2 XR6 or G6E ecoLPI?

[krzysiek]

Hi guys,

I've called around 5 dealers seeing what they have to offer. I've found one dealer with an MK2 XR6 ecoLPI but not really in the colour I want.

I am actually hoping to get a G6E as they don't allow lux. pack on the XR6 (idiots) and I am trying to find if some places have any 2011 MK2 Hail Damaged G6E's EcoLPI for sale?

Has anyone heard anything?

I heard radio ads on 3AW last 2 days for Knox Ford, Vic just advertising hail damaged cars with full warranty, no mention of insurance though.
edit, just found flyer: http://www.knoxford.com.au/ssl/asset...ail%20Sale.pdf

Thank you for that Dr. Smith! I am going to check the flyer now! What do you mean about the insurance part, though?

[Dr Smith]

Only hearsay, however I would check with your insurance company about any restrictions on purchasing a hail damaged car, bearing in mind these come with full factory warranty and are brand new so it should be okay, but I always like to get this info in writing or at least confirmed. Good luck.

I spoke to a dealer and he said that it won't appear anywhere apparently. Not on VIC roads records, etc - so essentially no one will know, not even the insurance companies?

Just make sure you speak to the insurance company. It is what you can't see that can be the problem. If you have an accident in the car and it has not been repaired properly in the first place from hail damage, the insurance company may not repair the car and may ask you to pay for some of the repair.

Also one of the question the insurance company ask's when they insure the car is.

Does the car have any un repaired accident or hail damage.
If you say no, they may deny a claim based on you not telling them it had hail damage.

I would try the pickles and manheim auction

Of course because the damage occurred prior to registration and if it's purely cosmetic then there is no issue..
I'd be checking out paintless repair options, they do good work and may be able to pull a lot of the dents out.

The ones I've seen for sale in the newspapers at dealerships, have already been repaired, and come with a full paint warranty. There should be no question regarding insurance.

we have plenty of xr6 mk2 repaired hail damage cars, none with lux pack though as they were the first ones sold.

Thanks however I meant for the buyer to let us know what he buys. While you're here though, do many actually order an XR6 without luxury pack because it seems that's all that's around generally and you get told those with luxury pack get snapped up first.

[yift]

lux pack is a 4k premium on top of xr6, 1 out of 10 buys will opt for it.

Hi Yift, what other cars you guys got in the dealership?

I was interested, and the dealer I called had XR6 LPi but I'm really not keen on not having lux pack. Sounds an*l but I want leather int. + GPS as standard so I don't have to use my bloody TomTom all the time. Consider XR6 LPi wouldn't give that to you even if you wanted it, I'm left looking for a G6E LPi but I don't think any of them have it.

Not to mention, out of 4 or 5 dealers I did call, 2 of them never returned my calls.

[yift]

we might have an ecolpi g6e in lightning strike (not 100% sure). i will find out on monday. message me your phone number and i will let you know.

Absolutely, thanks a ton messaging now!
