Would You Buy a Repaired Write off?
Buying a Repairable Write off Except for the Low Price, There Are Simply No Advantages. Most Repairable Write-Offs Cars Are Damaged Beyond Reasonable Simple...
Is it safe to buy a repaired write-off?
Since 2011 it has been illegal to sell a repairable write-off vehicle in NSW, and similarly illegal to drive one except in limited circumstances. This was introduced to curb the stolen vehicle/rebirthing market whereby vehicles are stolen, written-off, repaired, re-identified and sold on to the unsuspecting consumer.
Does it cost more to insure a repairable write-off?
Repairable write-offs cost more to fix than the car is worth. This means that, if your insurance covers the type of incident which caused the car to be written off, your insurer will only pay you up to the vehicle's market value or an agreed value from before the time the accident occurred.
