Those with cars in there being sold on consignment would be reading the fine print of there contacts carefully at the moment I suspect.

Its in the middle of the salvage yard, only insurance cars get racked, the centre of one of the racks is well alight so 3 high about 20 to a level, so 60 will be toast.

So far Pickles have had a car BBQ at Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney and now, Perth, starting to be a problem the way the cars are stored, looks like they will have to disconnect the batteries now when they store them in the rack.

Was there a Hyundai Tucson in the lot? Maybe a Kia?

Before the car even goes to Pickles the value is set, Pickles would already know this value, as the insurer sends the wreck value through with all the other details of the car, even when I used to pick them up from AAMI & RAC assessment centres the salvage value was always written on the windscreen. Insurance companies can still make a profit on the sale of a wreck after the company has settled with the owner, this offsets the loss they have taken in the pay out. |
