Default Where Is The Best Place To Buy Damaged/Repairable Cars?

My brother is looking at buying a damaged repairable car, maybe a Focus, Fiesta Diesel? He's wondering which site you lot use, if you do. He doesn't want one that is on the list, if he can help it and not too heavy a smash.

What sites do you know of?

Benni.

universal salvage auctions is now co-part and they are fuckers to try and get into now,they arn't interested in driveway repairers, you couls also look in the back of the Automart sorry forgot what decade i was in, the back of the Autotrader has loads of smashed up car places like this place i used to work...
www.cartransplants.co.uk or furbers in whitchurch or www.hills-motors.co.uk in ormskirk there is another car salvage auction still going in the scouse area called Mcfalls their number is 01925 225647, they are in posh newton le willows

It moved from the back by the benches, and then moved elsewhere. I found the car everytime, I just couldn't find the owner to steal the key.
