Also if the car is going to an inspection station the current owner should have all paperwork for repairs/parts bought and also an auction receipt when it goes for blue slip they should receive a fax as to the damage to the vehicle ie heavy structual front for example you might be able to get a squiz at that if your lucky but usually you arn't entitled to that info ;)

Like stated really depends on the reason vehicle was written off inspections are very stringent these days if rails were damaged they knock back for even painting them these days RTA has to be 100% certain damage was repaired properly.

Don't forget you can't trade in cars listed on revs either so keep that in mind for future sale reference.

are you going to be there with the seller? i would strongly advise you to make the effort to be there also. the last thing you want is for the seller to do a shifty with the station.

not trying to think negative but, just incase.

i wont be =/

the seller told me today that he deliverd it to a inspection station in
woolongong.. i spoke to him about the 'repairable write-off' status under
the revs check.. he told me it was the seats stolen..cos their worth alot..
=/

ok then thats good to hear...

i read in an above post that if it was the seats that were taken then it should have been listed as a 'economical write off' maybe you should call up the rta or revs themself to double check this.

all the best with the purchase, hope it goes well..

investigate yourself - dun believe what the seller tells u ,
no offence to the seller but most ppl look in their own best interest.
and 23k is nota a small amount ...

good luck

i totally agree thus me advising him to call up revs and the rta, as there are car sellers out there that want to get rid of lemons and dodgy cars and can be quite convincing also.

be safe and contact anyone that may be able to help you.

last thing u want is a lemon (unless its from jun :P )

save yourself the headache. 23.5k ain't that cheap. you can get dc5rs for around ~24.5 if you look hard enough and have patience. if it was say... 20k then maybe...

my civic (witched i rolled) was a "repairable write off". me being in the automotive repair industry i would say, stay away. the majority of people that buy "repairable write off's" are wreckers that mainly salvage the parts i.e. seats/undammaged pannels. steer clear buddy

If dat aint cheap i dunno what is ....

That link just made me realize how cheap my car really was. There are some people that are dreaming on that page. $25k for a DC5R with 130,000kms? That car is flat out $15-19k.
