If a car or other vehicle is damaged in a car collision, accident or other incident it can be either written off (the value of repair is considerably larger than the value of the vehicle) or it can become a damaged repairable vehicle. Often it can be cost effective to repair rather than buy a replacement, indeed lots of amateur and professional mechanics make good money buying damage-repairable vehicles only to "do them up" for re-sale. Replacing the needed parts and fixing the problems.
If you manage to buy a lightly damaged but repairable vehicle you can often find salvaged or refurbished parts that make fixing it up more realistic than the associated garage bill (which would have included new parts potentially.) With this in mind we have built the Mashed Cars system to find all of the damaged but repairable vehicles for sale in the uk across several different motor and auction sites - making finding the damaged repairable vehicle you are after a doddle!
