Default I cant see much wrong with it.

Is it me or does this look very fix able with a cut and polish?

Worries me that they can write off a new car because of "light" bumper and side damage.

Must be structural damage or something?

O yeah I could see it needs the passenger door replaced


i don't no what price it is but hey if they could bust a fleet one out 10k cheaper then it must around 20k

gotta be careful with that, it hasn't shown under the bonnet so we don't know what the engine damage is

Cheers,

Where does it say its written off? Just because its in the damaged section doesnt mean its written off. Maybe just damaged and repairable.

Dejavu.

Something about the engine being in the passenger seat or something along those lines, IIRC.

The other issue was that spares to fix the car aren't available in a timely fashion. There was also talk about it being on a lot and it was an XR8 that rammed it (which is also available under auction)
