Thats funny my ED is a repairable write-off, yet its just as good as it was before, actually better...

Technicaly a car could be keyed, and be a repairable write off...such as an EA insured for $1500 and a repair and respray around $4000...

Is insurance affected by the fact the vehicle was a repairable write off?

Do they knock the guts out of the value and bump the premium?

The car came in to ford on a tow truck with an engine bought from Mrford Spares that didn't work and had 120K on it, and steel rims with 16 inch tyres. The intercooler came off a 200sx, and after being advised that it wouldn't work well enough, Sam was advised of a price for genuine, as well as a whole lot of other parts totalling about 4 grand. Two days later, the owner Sam turned up with a bunch of second hand parts including the intercooler of an F6. On the hoist there was evidence of front end damage that wasn't repaired too well, and after swapping all the parts over they finally got it running. Sam then argued with my mate about the bill, and finally paid the 800 dollars for the work done.
Later, the car was seen with F6 rims on it, and the lowered. Make no mistake, this car was made to make the owner money. If the OP buys it, he needs a labotomy.

And the obvious question is ...... I wonder were he got the "secondhand parts" from ???? I bet my bottom dollar that he wouldn't be able to produce a receipt for them.

If you cant produce a reciept for every part in QLD, you cant get it back on the road as they wont clear it at WOVI.

Ditto in S.A. No paper work, no clearance Insurance wise, I don't know how you'd fair. Might get away with an agreed insurance value policy. That'd be something you'd have to get right into if you want to own a repaired write off

Do all the parts have to be new? Or can you pick them up from a wrecker second hand, provide all the reciepts etc?

Second hand parts are fine. In queensland, heres the process.
Buy written off car, and source parts to fix it.
Keep all receipts and get VIN numbers if you can of cars they came off.
Fix car.
Get a roadworthy. A good roadworthy inspector should pick up that it was written off, and will go over all repairs with you.
Write a stat dec to declare, if you did the repairs yourself, that they are all done by you, including vin numbers and reciepts of your car, and all other car parts used for it.
Get a Written off vehicle inspection. They will check all VIN numbers and receipts to show that it is not rebirthed or stolen parts have been used to repar it.
Register it.
