Ouch!! - Project car anyone?
 

Ouch? Brings tears to your eyes! Would probably be easier to list the parts that don't need replacing...

I'm trying to figure out how it managed to avoid becoming an insurance loss. How can anyone afford to write off a 6 month old STi and sell for salvage only?
They must be losing 15-17k on it if not more!!!

Sore one!

Must have been driven by someone who didn't own it or somethin, still a costly mistake whatever!

Looked like it stood up to the crash ok though...

he might aswell put impreza readyfor ringing.

logbook here
not on register :nono:

plue the owner could get more money doing it that way and get more like £4,500.00 for it ;)

My sentiments exactly, plus: when the radiator moves back the belts usually snap making this a £5,000 gearbox/ringing opportunity. You just know whats going to happen dont you?

I see that he wants to keep the registered number to himself too.....

oops

SIAL ;)

looks like the gear knob legged it ;)

Its not on the list. yet.

"ALL OF THE THE INTERIOR IS RE-USABLE, JUST NEEDS CLEANING."

:o

Look much like one of our company pool cars, but has less external damage !

:)

Am I crazy to even begin thinking about bidding? Looks as though it'll go for a smudge over £4,000.00 and having checked with Grade-A Subaru you can get a complete new shell with all the panels and bumpers for £4,115.00 (Inc VAT) ready for painting, allow a budget of £1,800.00 for a decent spray job and underseal and your standing at £9,915.00... add to this the following...

windscreen (laminated and heated) £250.00
remaining glass (Inc. rear window) £350.00
Battery £60.00
New roof lining, parcel shelf, gear knob etc £400.00
New front & rear lights £500.00
New rear spoiler £800.00
Consumables etc £800.00

Comes in at £13,075.00, one cheapo STi in nead of a T-Cut?!!

Or sell the gearbox £2k and engine £1.5K, plus interior for £500 and you've covered the cost with brakes, wheels and any extras as profit :norty:

Nixon, bear in mind the labour mate; even if you do it all yourself there is still a cost attributable to it.

Also, bear in mind that it can take a couple of months for a car to show on the HPi register as damaged, and if it does get listed you could end up with massive problems.

as far as i know grade a have a shell BUT IT AINT NEW. someone i know was interested for a rallycar its secondhand and has had rear end damage repaired. so its also from a shell change!!!
ps dont forget to allow for a top end rebuild £1500
ie the broken belt pulley
also you cant buy a new shell from a uk dealer!

just noticed its got four wheel steering too

I bet the brown stain on the drivers seat will take some shifting!!!

IT JUST SOLD FOR £7000!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonder if the person who bought it is starting to regret getting so carried away?

It's not worth £7000 as there can't be very much on that car that is salvageable. I would imagine all the suspension is wrecked and there is also a good chance the cambelt came off in the crash and killed the engine.

I can't believe someone paid so much when it sounds like the engine will be scrap :eek: I certainly wouldn't part with £7,000 for that.

Large brown stain on drivers seat?
