| Sad news, David. Hope you get to fix it and get it roadworthy again. In NSW they seem to have changed the law regarding "repairable write-offs", not sure if you'd be able to buy your own car (wrecked) and fix it. |

| Thats sad Buy it back and use the good parts for your next soarer Mike, No insurance company will insure a fixed repairable write-off at any level. Hit a merc, sell the house asap |

| You cannot register any car that has been deemed a repairable-writeoff in NSW anymore . Buy it back , Buy another soarer and swap over what you like or need Then sell the rest . As long as no one was hurt cars are just hunks of metal in the end |

You would cry if I posted pics of the damage I got. Best part of it all, I still have a stuffed shoulder and neck as a souvenir of the accident! Main thing is that your ok. I'm still waiting for my perfect replacement soarer to appear for sale... |

| BIG difference between economical write off and a repairable write off. most soarers tend to be un-economical to repair in a panel shop due to the retail cost of parts and panel shops not wanting to touch imports, but when cash does the talking the cost of repairs drops dramatically! |

| At the end of the day its down to the insurance company. My car is insured for 18k so as long as the damage is under half my insurance company will pay to fix it but to be honest, if the was anymore thsn 6k damage I would be hoping for a write off, buy the wreck back and move everything to a new shell. |
