Hello from Fremantle
Thanks for the excellent site. I've been sniffing around it for a while in search of info and tips on Jettas. I leased a new 2008 TDI 2.0 last year only to have it peppered by hail in March this year. The insurance company wrote it off and offered it to me very cheap. Given that there is no structural damage I decided to buy it, so now I have a top notch, albeit dimpled, Jetta that I will probably drive into the ground (over the next 20 years or so!) Hope I don't lower the tone of Jettadom too much.

Insurance for hail damaged Jetta
Hi Gareth,
Thanks for the speedy welcome. You are right. Some insurance companies refuse even to do Theft and Fire insurance for hail damaged cars. HBF however was willing to do comprehensive - up to $10,000, which happens to be the dutiable value of the car. I really don't know how they will deal with a future claim which involves a dingle, or god forbid, another hailstorm.
Perhaps this discussion should switch to the relevant thread.Comment
