Had a guy run up my arse last week and repairers have said its a write off. Being in SA I have to wait a week and a half before the insurance assessor looks at it, and from what I understand if he agrees with the repairers that it's a repairable write off then they'll give me money and I'll go shopping...anyway I also understand you can buy your wreck off of the insurer for a decent price as they typically just take it to auction and get what they can...just wondering what the majority of you would be willing to pay for it from the insurer?

Details are:

93 R33 S1 GTST Auto (Black)

155xxx kms

Rear left quarter damage and probably a little rear right as well due to the impact

Engine fairly stock, just a pod, replaced a few hoses with silicon etc

Just want to have some idea so when the assessor gives me a figure I'll know whether or not to buy it back and sell as is or part it out.

thanks

best just to let it go... insurers want too much for them these days especially if you cant show probable cause (excessive modifications) to show why you want it back, they pay you its their car, and they would rather see it hit auction and fetch a decent price from my experiences....

up to you. they will probably want around the $3,200 mark. maybe less.

but have you got buyers for the parts? work out weather it is feasible for you first. have a scrap car sitting around feasting parts off it, or put the extra cash into the new car?

thanks for the reply and rough figure. Haven't got buyers lined up for heaps of parts, just one possible showing interest for the rb25det but not wanting to pay too much and that's about it. I guess if it was like 10-15% of the insured amount then I'd do it to try and make a few bucks back. They would have a fair idea how much they'd consistently get for something like this though I would assume
