Hello just interested to find out what damage and how much money worth of damage has to be done for a eb2-ed fairmont and a vn-vs holden to be a repairable write off because in not 100% sure on that and if ones a reparible write off, does that mean you can buy it back from the insurance company if they keep it and use the insurance money and pay for it your self to get it fixed and get it inspected and engineered before reregistration.

Also what damage has to be done and how much money worth of damage has to be done to make a eb2-ed fairmont and a vn-vs holden a stat write off.

Can you please make a list of what damage has to be done to make it a repairable write off and a sepreate list of what damage has to be done to make it a stat write off.

do you think laws will change or not. if so im starting a petition to stop it changing and make it the way it was 20 years ago.

was there reparible and stat writeoff catogaries 20 years ago and how long has there been those 2 writeoff catogaries.

Stat writeoff occurs when the chassis is rooted, and cannot be safely repaired.

Repairable writeoff is one which can be fixed, but at a greated cost than the value of the car. So an ED/EB or VN/VP which is insured for around 2-3 grand these days, will be written off repairably with about 2 grand of damage.

greater than 70% of the cost of the car is a repairable write-off.

Homer when will you stop wasting our time?

[minux]

A repairable write off will usually mean more than 33% of the cars value in damage.

Starting a petition to stop what from changing? What laws? What the hell are you on about?

im talking about if write off laws change about fixing them

[jules]

the law on stat. writeoffs was introduced to stop 2 things:
1. cut and shuts on structurally unsafe wrecks, and
2. rebirthing, in which destroyed vehicles miraculously get turned into as new repaired cars, and somewhere else a poor guy is left standing in his driveway wondering where he left his car.

it's not going to change back to what it was.

how long has the stat wrte off law been in and do you think theyll make all the repairable writeoffs stats or will they keep it as is

[VZTHUNDER]

man
the laws how they are now work as stated above
they wont make a repairable write off a stat write off
it makes no sense todo that

[jules]

some organisations have called for changes. it's political.

if you look on websites you'll find more info on it.

i don't know that they're going to change. who knows for sure, you only find out afterwards
