Don't know of any, but I used to work for Manheim Fowles here in Adelaide, some reasonable parts come up occasionally

Just beware, especially 4wd's - most of these have been moved by a forklift and the underbody may appear okay but could expect damaged tailshafts etc.

They are the 2 main ones in Australia. Actually the only 2 i know of. I buy from both most weeks. There are a few small insurers that dont deal with either but they have direct deals with repairers or salvage yards.

As above allways check underneith for damage from forklifts. Its also common to find damage on delivery that was not there when you viewed the vehicle. Especially in the doors from the forklift.

Also remember anything less than 15 years old is listed on the Reparable Write off list and you need to pay a fee and have the vehicle inspected to have it cleared on this list. Its never removed from the list but it is cleared to be registered. So if you plan on re-selling the vehicle the new owner can very easily check if it has ever been written off before.
