Alongside our fully repaired CAT N & S stock, we also sell a range of vehicles exactly as they came to us from the insurer — unrepaired. We don't strip or remove anything: you buy the car complete, damaged, and as-is.
It's a straightforward trade: you take on the repair work yourself (or through your own garage), and in exchange you pay a fraction of what the same car would cost fully restored. It's a popular option with mechanics, tradespeople, and confident DIYers — and we offer extremely low-cost delivery on our damaged cars, sometimes even free within 100km.
