The owner described this one in a single line: the front bumper was wrecked, and everything else was good. It is a 2007 Bluebird Sylphy sedan, picked up near the Shands Road motorway roundabout on the Hornby side of the city.
Front-end damage often costs more to repair properly than an older car is worth on paper, which is where many owners get stuck. Paying a panel shop does not make sense, but the car is too good to feel like scrap. We buy cars in exactly that middle ground. The damage comes off the price, and the rest of a complete, working car is what we pay for.
We collected it for free and paid on collection. If you are weighing up a repair against selling, our car wreckers in Christchurch page explains how we price damaged cars.
