If it's been repaired correctly, no reason why it should be any different from normal. Means you'll get it cheaper too

i wouldnt no

remember its cheap now but when u come to sell it, it will be harder to sell if people do a hpi check (if its been reported) it might put people off and the price is less when you come to sell it

April 08 feature car

Not bad, that's just stolen recovered it says there so not actually damaged?

I always look at those sites where they have crashed cars that they sell, alot of them wouldn't take much to get looking normal and you'd save a bomb, I wish I had the space

That's crazy

I suppose it would cost alot to replace all the windows, just seems silly to write it off because of it.

I do




However it wasn't written off by the insurance company, therefore technically I don't have to tell anyone. I will though to be honest. But it wasn't anything structural.

If I went to look at a car that had crash damage, I'd want the invoice etc for the repair. If it was structural, I'd walk away.

I work opposite a 'smart' body repair garage. And there is also a BMW garage on the trading estate. Nearly every one of their cars has work done on it. There isn't really such thing as a genuine car.

I disagree, if you know what you're looking for you can spot any crash damage a mile away (in 99% of cases)

I wouldn't buy a write off, probably wouldn't buy anything that had been crashed.
