Does anyone know of any salvage dealers?

Seems like a cheap way to get a car.

I know all the drawbacks, but I'm not bothered...

Not sure really, but hopefully, the mini is going, so i'll be replacing it. I thought it made sense to buy something cheap, with a bigger engine, and bolt new wings/bonnet/bumpers on over the winter.

depends how bad the car is.

on a 1000 car, you'll probably save 300 quid after repairing it.

Very hard to sell on though, tbh I'd spend no more than £2000.

Then again £2000 will get me a fairly good written off car

They have some decent cars inside that won't take a lot to get back on the road. They had a nice Elise the other year. It was half cream half red, seperated by a green stripe. I couldn't work out why it was there until I walked around it, the drivers side wasn't there

Thats the thing Jambo, you can get a 1.4 corsa C for about 1600 quid, which needs a new front wing, bonnet and bumper.

and Bs are VERY cheap, like 200 quid cheap

cat d does not need vic check and will usually have logbook with them if not its £20 quid and a form from post office and the dont usually show its been smashed on logbook

cat c will need vic test and to be re-registered it will also show on bottom of logbook thats its been vic tested

id be very doubtfil if ud find a corsa c 1.4 needing a bumper/ wing and bonnet cause it be cheap enuff to fix. write offs are written off because of the labour and parts/ materials bill to fix makes it cost effective. so for a diyer to fix it would need to be very light which would beg the question as to why its been written off in the first place??
