That's awesome. Recently just got my G6E from some old guy for $10k. Car was in near perfect condition so I'd say it was a bargain, and I'm absolutely loving it so far. Can't wait to start modding mine and can't wait to see what you do with this G6. Cheers

Thanks for the info on the 3 types of salvage vehicles. That G6 was a steal for $1450. I want to start a turbo falcon/territory project one day but am cursed with the trilemma of time, space and money. I am subbing 100%

I bought my first falcon a few yesterday for $6.200 with roady it is a base model g6 Got plenty of mods planned like exhaust system, lowering kit and a set of 20 inch rims Bought it because my Pajero on 37” tires got defected again and it’ll cost too much to re road worthy again so gone a complete different direction and got a falcon to modify

@commodorenut
@commodorenut Жыл бұрын
It’s not that you aren’t allowed, it’s because it has been written off and the rego cancelled. Insurance would have assessed it and decided there was too much damage, and to do it all properly (and offer a lifetime warranty on repairs) would cost more than the car is worth. They would have paid out the owner and taken the car. Because the structural integrity hasn’t been compromised on this car, it doesn’t need to be a statutory write off - only an economic (repairable) write off, which can be put back on the road (after repairs and a painful inspection process). A repairable write off is worth more at auction than a stat write off, so insurance companies like to do this wherever possible, to maximise their return.
@12345656012
@12345656012 Жыл бұрын
The idea was to stop "rebirthing". Crims used to buy very very damaged cars from auctions, steal an almost identical car then fit the ID tags from the wrecked car to the stolen car, giving the stolen car the (clean) identity of the auction car. When the system came in it was a right pain in the ass, there were no repairable write offs (in NSW). A 4x4 i owned was written off by insurance for a bit of hail damage i could of easily fixed. The scope of damage has little to do with it, its about ecomical repair. I worked at a BMW smash shop for a while, as the new models are worth a fair bit of money it would take a big hit to write one off so some very badly damaged cars were repaired and put back on the road, all legally and to manufacturers repair procedures.

I've got a 2009 Mercedes E500 with the 5.5L V8 for my daily and it's like your on a cloud and it's pretty fast, air intake and simple ass remap it's doing mid 4's 0-100km/h and got it for only 16k with 89k on it
