No, it will be some poor bugger who thinks he or she is buying a near new car still in new car warranty.
When in actual fact, it will be a repairable write-off that warranty has been voided.
There is a yard in Wangara doing this
Obviously not this particular WRX as its old, but you get the picture

Finally some quotes were completed - 19 grand to fix her.

No structural damage, just panels, headlights and a few other bits and pieces that were missing, isn't as bad as it looks!! Spoken to the shop who did the quote, said she'd be good as new if she gets fixed no problems at all.

Fingers crossed i'll get her back, hopefully find out tomorrow.

Woah!. $19K! It certainly didn't look like $19K worth of damage. Though panel shops love cranking up the price on insurance repair jobs. Thank the camel gods for insurance.

Just cars have a clause in their policy that allows them to use 2nd hand parts - if they do fix it enquire as to if they are envoking that clause.

You'll be suprised how different quotes are from shop to shop, some overloaded shops will intentionally overquote because they don't need the work at this point in time.

Quotes aren't worth anything till they've been reviewed by your insurance company assessor so would be interesting to see what 'if any', adjustments are made.

Main thing is you walked away from it.

Edit: There appears to be damage to areas other than the front end?

Ha. Camel Gods. - Also luddy, where are my balls?

I've already enquired about the second hand parts. They've quoted new parts obviously. I won't let anything other than new parts go on it.

Yeah the back end also, just panel damage on that end. I'm still thankful to have walked away.
