W427 Stat rightoff

[white lie]

wondering if its the same one a few years back that a guy bought, fixed and went to court to try and get it registered. this was about 4 years ago now at least. then he was trying to sell it for the standard asking price at the time. dreaming

Fair chance.
Guy on another forum was the original owner. Was written off the first time in 2011, not sure how it got back on the road

Why is it written off there doesn't look to be damage?

Don't you guys read the ad? It says quite plainly "Previous impact damage, Entire vehicle. Previously repaired"
And next line it says "Statutory Write-off"

[Angeldust]

so does that mean if I have a really rare vehicle, that its a bad idea to insure it. Or at least if the damage looks quite substantial, don't tell the insurance company about it ie tow it home yourself, get a independent quote first, then maybe involve the insurance company.

Pretty silly. The law should only apply to non rare cars...

I thought you could apply to get a car re-rego'd if it was a rare or significant car but I guess the final decision rest with the govt, in this case it mustn't have been rare enough.

Stat write off laws are quite specific.

Certain damage makes a stat even if it seems minor

Any water damage above the sills. There is also the 3 point rule for damage. If it get any three point then she is a stat

chassis rail damage to one rail is 1 point. Damage to two rails is 3 points. A pillar damage is one point. Acid/Chemical damage is 1 point. Certain a pillar damage makes it an instant stat. There is a list you can read up on.

i have seen a couple of HSV's go through auction labeled as attempted rebirths.

In NSW there are no repairable write offs as there were two many people rebirthing cars.

I asked a painter mate about this and he said that the new cars have certain areas that if damaged, no matter how well you repair them, it's a stat write off. Such a shame with something as rare as that W427, a lot of money down the drain to repair it and it's only good for looking at or driving on a track/private property.

There are still repairable writeoffs but you need to meet certain criteria before you can apply to repair the vehicle. You must have owned the vehicle prior to the incident is the main one.

So I watched the auction, they tried to kick it off at $40K, but no one bid, they dropped to $20K and it started quickly then, it got to $37K and they referred it, meaning it didn't reach the reserve, whatever that may have been!

As the original owner, I don't know if I'm glad or sad.

I think when it sold first it went for $47k - not sure. If that's so the bloke that bought it would be expecting at least that...

How did it end up as a Stat, what happened to it?
