They also sell ex-fleet and repossesed cars...

It helps if you go pay a visit to their websites, they contain vast information in there...

my last car which was a repairable write off sold for $750. it still had over 5k of stereo gear in it plus ps2 srceens etc 18" wheels kings springs kyb shocks whiteline front 24mm sway rear 22mm sway with reinforcement kit plus the list goes on. a good bargain can be had at these sort of places. the whole lot sold for $750. the headunit along was $800.

Just keep in mind that for every win story there are probably 10 horror stories that no one wants to bring up ...... bad memories I would imagine.

It's about Risk, you save some money at auctions but you take a risk that your purchase may be good or bad

only reason i can think of for not buying it back would be fully insured... even than i would still buy it back... double ur money

unfortunately i couldnt track down where my car went... but i didnt want to go through seeing it all again while i was still in a wheelchair =(

i never bought it back cos i was told it should sell for bout 3k which i didn't wanna spend that much. rather put it towards new better gear. totally forgot about it in my new excitement on a new project and moved on. i later looked up the auction and it went for $750!!!!

i had smashed my pride and joy! seeing it broke my heart! like ex missus's i didn't wanna have anything to do with it. like ex missus's i had my fun with it and was done. all smashed out lol. been there done that. i'd done it all in her. won my QLD car audio SQ + show title, mastered its handling which beat subies through the twists. had 18's chrome yellow paint 10% tint custom interior you name it and at the end i had i car i no longer liked. my taste had changed away from RICE. i wanted to change it all! every bit! wheels lights speakers whole lot. alot would say my new car is way better some like my old car way better. what do you guys think
