ebay link : scooby salvage
Just noticed this scooby on ebay, just wonder what sort off price you would be looking at to have this car put back to pre accident state ?? not personally planning on bidding for it just be interested to find out what sort off costs you would be talking about, looks so much work required but suppose could be a good purchase for someone in the trade ??
do folk who buy salvage like this actually make much in actual profit once all costs are added to the original cost off the car in the first place ??
anyway here is the link :
*55 REG SUBARU IMPREZA WRX * NO RESERVE DAMAGED SALVAGE on eBay, also, Subaru, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 01-Jun-08 22:00:00 BST)

I dont think that you can really get ahead now. Salvage is good for a keeper, in some circumstances: its still best for a competition car thats going to be fully rebuilt anyway.
When I used to repair salvage you could buy a Porsche 944 Turbo, which was retailing at well over £15,000 for under £2,000, with easily repairable damage..... Everyones at it now though; the cost of salvage has gone through the roof and since Autolign stopped removing inspected vehicles from the register, values have plummeted. The useless classification system has only added to the above problems.
For what it is worth, I would only consider rear damaged cars: no one wants them because it looks harder (the opposite is true). Id try to avoid front damaged cars and I wouldnt touch anything thats been on fire or been upside down...

If it went for the right price then Id consider it. As far as I can see its only run down the near side and it hasnt been over. The beauty of rear damage is that, because it isnt 'bolt-on', it looks worse than it is, peopel think that itll be expensive and difficult. Its always easier and cheaper to repair than front damage.....
