if it is on the register that means it will be fine for all official stuff ie rego.

when it is a repairable write off after it is repaired it goes through a detailed inspection to make sure it has been repaired good. so u should have a good look yourself at the body if u know what to look for, and if you are satisfied there is no real bad negatives.

I would stay far far away from this car. There's a million other cars out there.

often with small cars its not really as bad as it seems, because they are not worth much anyway, often insurance companies will write them off as not worth fixing even with damage that is not major, where as people will still prefer to keep it and get it fixed themselves rather than look for another car..

in terms of a more expensive or sports car i would personally stay away because it just doesnt seem right
