hahah you trying to tell me there is no history of the accident when the car is sitting in a god damn auction and has been written off by an insurance company?

I can imagine maybe it not being branded, but the record of the accident is got to be on the records.. People don't smash up their 50K cars and then just throw them away without telling insurance.

Anyway, if it really is, well done.

Well, if the car is [not branded] is has a clean title and therefor you dont need to tell the person whos buying the car that its been involved in an accident, but either way there are obvious ways to tell.

where did you get this information from?
any seller who is aware of an accident on the vehicle being sold is to inform the buyer regardless of branding. I am sure kumanan knows that but just let you know so you dont get in trouble in the future if you were to sell a vehicle with an accident on it.

LOL, wow you sure stole this one. The idiots that passed on it must be kicking themselves now. Does the car run? No way it got hit like that and didn't touch the driveline at all.

Done right that is a 10K repair and the car will be branded. At the very least carfax is going to show it as an insurance ripoff.

hmm from the looks of the shop
In scarborough... near Steeles & Middlefield

Where battle endless is located?
Sorry my photographic memory of places makes me want to ask this question to see if i'm right ( probably not but theres a chance)


EDIT: Forgot to add, nice work so far, if repair plans do end up costing only 3-4k
This is some amazing steal for a very nice car

i think those holes might have been purposely drilled in there to help pull some of the body panels straight? just a guess.
