Useful Information
Why should I buy a crashed car?
There can be many reasons to buy a crashed car. Some of those reasons include..
- For parts - Heavily damaged vehicles, particularly Category B, C and S vehicles could provide you with a source of great-value used parts, especially if you are already repairing a similar model. The vehicles may be too heavily damaged to realistically return to the road (CAT Bs cannot legally return to the road) however they contain salvageable parts which you could purchase for a fantastic price.
- To restore and resell - A repair or restoration project can be hugely fulfilling, especially if you are a car fanatic. There’s nothing like fixing up a sad, crashed car and returning it to its former glory. If you have the skills and knowledge to repair a damaged vehicle, you could see yourself saving a considerable amount of money over buying the car used (including the cost to repair).
