Re: If this is MINOR damage...I'd hate to see major damage?
There Is A Couple Of Things To Think Of When You Buy That Kind Of Vehicule When It Was Declared A Total Loss
1.0 Th Eshop Does Not Decide If It Is A Total Loss, The Insurance Takes The Decision Upon Market Value Versus The Cost Of Repair And Poucentage Of Additionnal If Ever The Car Would Be Repaired.
2.0 If A Shop Repairs The Vehicule, There Is Few Factors That Plays A Role For The Repairs
A) The Type Of Parts Needed, Oem , Aftermarket And Used Parts
B) The Labour Rate (major Factor)
3.0 When You Buy A Total Loss You Have To Be Sure Of Two Things
A) Do You Keep It For Yourself?
B) If You Are Planning To Sell Be Sure That You Are Aiming The Type Of Customer Who Are Looking For A Real Bargain Because It Is A Total Loss That Has Been Rebuilted And No Warranty From The Repair Shop Will Be Geiven Or From The Manufaturer Because The Warranty Has Been Void.
I Did Buy Some Total Loses In The Past And You Need To Find The Right Customer For Those Type Of Vehicules Because It Will Never Be Original Again,,,, Never And The Price That You Will Sell For Will Not Follow The Market Because It Is Not In The Same Rank As The Other... Think About It You Have Two Car Identical And They Are Both For Sale One Is Original And The Other One Was A Total Loss Which One Would You Pick?
