Wait a cotton pickin minute. I throw it down the street and cause say £1200 damage and loose my £500 to the dealer to cover their £500 excess then what happens is that the dealers own workshop do the work for the £1200 damage and insurance company pays them £1200. BUT £600 of that is labour and part of the amount of the £600 on parts would also be a mark up on said parts so in total out of the £1200--- £500 of that is profit to the dealer.
So they patch it up and send it out again and again so by the time the bike is finished its demo life it has paid for itself in profit to the dealer in the dropped repairs. And then they sell the bike on as an ex demo and make even more dosh as the bike has now paid for itself.
Im not sure on the markup un parts or what the labour aspect of £1200 total would be. All of my maths has been made up - but do you see the angle on this.
