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!!!

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?!!

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!

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.
