A friend bought a vs clubsport from there. Looked great and went ok, but started to rattle and paint fade in some areas.
Personally, I prefer a car that has not been rebuilt from a wreck because you are just not sure what has been replaced and what may be 'good enough' to leave.
If you ask them about hail damage and water damage, they must be upfront about it.
Not bagging them out, like I said, just a few observations/experiences.

the old days when the department of transport would allow cars to be re-shelled are long gone.
Carrera's do as good a job as most panel repairer's, they used to specialise in reshelling holdens, mostly commodores as you could buy a brand spanking new shell from holden with all panels already painted in any of the factory colours
