UNDERSTANDING VEHICLE’S DAMAGE & WRITE-OFF LEVELS
Selling a broken or damaged car can be a confusing time and you may find yourself wondering whether people will want it, especially if you’re selling a WOF failure, a non-runner or need to sell an insurance write-off, but salvage categories have made it easier for people to understand the differences between broken and damaged vehicles.
- D- Dismantled – Legitimate removal of components for use as parts.
- F- Fire – Damage caused by combustion.
- H- Hail – Damage caused by hailstones.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BUY MY UNWANTED CAR?
When we buy your broken car there are lots of different things we take into consideration. Is the car running or non-running, does it have accident damage, or is it a Category I or W Insurance write off. Regardless of the problem with your vehicle, we would certainly like to purchase it as we buy any damaged car or van. This includes Engine Faults, Timing chains, Transmission issues, etc..
On the day of collection our driver will call back to our office to say he is with the vehicle and we will transfer the full agreed amount into your bank account or cash payment. We have NO Charges or NO Haggling and we are always on hand should you need to ask us any questions.
