Car rolled over during accident hence the massive roof damage.

He's not willing to sell parts from it, I called up to ask about the Sat Nav unit.

Looks like someone got over excited on a test drive......

Least it looks like the structure took the roll over well, which is good I guess!

cant see how it is a cat d as theres no chance in repairing that, well there is but theres no point as it wouldnt be cost effective, unless you can get a shell for around 5k

Yeah I reckon the best bet is to just sell whatever is still untouched like the interior, dash etc and maybe the wheels or lights. The rest is toast and I can't see how it would be cost effective to repair. The back end is sitting very high too so I wonder if the chassis is jiggered.
