daisymay Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Has anyone else experienced this? We bought a new car last year.The dealer said we should come and get the immatriculation no etched on the glass. Never bothered - it's pointless if the car doesn't keep the same number all its life and they were only going to etch the rear windw which I understand is the easiest to break and replace anyway. We have now received a demand for €90 for the next 12 months! We have no actual docymentary evidence of having entered into a contract. This is basically a scam. They will pay out a certain amount if the car is stolen and not retreived but then so will the normal insurance and they certainly will not BOTH pay out. What is the French for scam anyway?

cooperlola Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Yup, I had exactly the same situation as you. I did not bother to etch the glass but got the automatic renewal notice. I did not pay it and never heard from them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 My bike insurers insisted on it being 'tattooed' before they would insure it. The frame No. is engraved on all major components of the vehicle. Why don't the manufacturers do it at assembly time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jc Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 A better idea is to have the chassis number(or part of)engraved on the glass.And all glass including the lights;some insurance companies will offer this for free.I was offered it in a supermarket c/park for £5 for the whole car.
