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!!!

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?

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 **** 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

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.

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 I certainly wouldn't part with £7,000 for that.
