That's how it works. The car is a category D write off whether it gets repaired or not!

The damage doesn't look that bad tbh! Strange it's been totalled just for that we repaired one last year the damage was a lot worst and we spent 13k repairing it!

Same feeling as above. That would insurance repair all day long. Tred careful if it's taken the leg back could be a possible engine out job. There never as simple as they seem.

Hardly a bargain when you look at that one ,£18k, less miles,not on the hit list and not damaged .

I sold my white focus for 18.5k and that has 7k worth of extras , so that is drasticly overpriced IMO

I wouldnt give over 10k for it

the leg is the bad bit it its over but the repair list would prob include
rack
hub
wheel
tyre
sill cover
wing moulding
headlamp
shock
lower arm
shaft
engine bearer??
gearbox mount?? they do like to break
maybe the box if the shaft went in
wing
bumper
paint
door or reshape it

maybe other bits as they make them to break so lugs off front panel? inner arch cover, various trims

if you knew of a breaking with rear damaged you may get that list for around a grand and chuck it all together but i expect it needs a jig if its been knocked on the head and not repaired

least the airbags are still in

Sadly the prices are not falling in the salvage game, quite the opposite there has been yet another noticable rise in prices again this year!

Bargain? You sure?

I'm with 'North Yorks rs spares' £10k is about right. £15k is way too much, there's obviously a lot more to it than meets the eye.
