How Many Companys do the Damaged Auctions??

I can only find these 2 Two.

I have others but they dont have the Damaged Sales.

Anyone know any others??

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.

Thanks Blokes

Im only looking at using one of them as a Parts Car EG Motor Gearbox etc so I will be looking for a Car that has been Crunched in the side or in the rear.

RUFF what sort of money do you see then go for??

EG 10-15K Grand Vitara is going for under 3k as a Wreak??

Pickles in Vic dont normal have tail shaft issues. As they pick them up length ways. Thats not to say it want be damaged though, as it is a wreck.
