Repairable or write off? Any clue?

[HunterZero]

I could be wrong but in NSW I believe there are no more repairable write offs so if an insurance company declares it a write off then it cannot be re-registered and would only be good for parts. If it were to declared a write off and then end up in the hands of the insurance company (ie. you don't purchase it off them) it would be sold at auctions to a wrecker. At least that's my understanding of the current system.

Correct, but you can still negotiate to buy the wreck back for parts, or apply for an authorisation to repair under exemption "Same registered operator for at least 28 days", although no guarantees of approval, especially if the car has structural damage. It's not worth the effort for this car.

Otherwise the VIN chassis/engine nums go onto the written off car register, and can't be reused to register a car.
