ms700 Moderating Team 10,170 Member For: 21y 8m 20d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 14/09/13 01:10 PM Share Posted 14/09/13 01:10 PM I used to be a panel beater, and there's no way, in the world, I'd buy a repairable write off.... If I crashed my own car hard enough to require a radiator support, I'd be trading it in as soon as the paint is dry. I hit a wombat in the missus 3 month old barina, as soon as we got it back from the repair shop it went straight to the car lot to be traded. They simply never drive the same. Little hits like front guards, and bumpers are fine, but anything major, yeah nah....Like sct said, for a few thousand more, you can by a ex cop fg from the auctions. Much better option. Like others have said, a bonnet would cost 1500, rad support 1000, headlights bumper im assuming 1000, front screen 500.... All of these prices are over generous. Something smells fishy..... Walk away and make it someone else's nightmare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 19y 5m 2d Posted 16/09/13 01:41 AM Share Posted 16/09/13 01:41 AM Go buy yourself an ex chaser, chances are it will still have factory warranty too...18K should get you one...I thought you couldn't register a statutory write off in NSW, due to the post 31st Jan 2011 laws.Apparently once written off they can only be used for parts...Is this correct?
