what do i do ?
Last December i bought 03 vy 25th anniversary
Privately
I’ve spent appx $1000 in repairs to try and fix a severe front end clunk, it’s just come back from pedders today, they say it has been in an accident and everything’s messed up they can’t fix it
i can’t sell it as is, and i am not in the position to spend more money on it even if i was i don’t want a car that’s been pranged bad enough to cause this sort of **** to go wrong with it.
So yeah... what can i do ?

Why cant' you sell it as is?
Some dodgy mofo sold it to you broken...
I'd try to flog it off to some other poor bastard if that had happened to me.

if you take the options which are either:
legal
morally acceptable
you are screwed.
however, if it was me i would probably reverse it into something at speed to write it off without risk of injury to myself.
but even that has consequences with money, you will be paying higher excess and premiums for years to come.

Go tell someone that you'll pay 50 bucks to crash your car. Then claim it on insurance.
Not a good idea..... but its something you can do.

Well, if committing fraud on a national level is your idea of fun, then go for it. The only things you can do is fix it or sell it.
Sucks there are shonkies out there who sell these pieces of ****. This is why a mechanical and body inspection is a must.
