Shame that it has a buckle in the rear, still looks repairable.
Not only did I used to drive my one in a handful in the US 3dr in the snow, I used to drive it all the time in NYC lol.

Then you can either have it repaired and pocket some cash, or break it or sell for someone else to repair.
is the buy back salvage really 10%?? as my percentage they took from me was a lot more!

While 4x4 makes you feel safe in the wet and the dry, it don't help too much in the snow
