What Is a Rebuilt Title?
A repairable write-off is a vehicle that was damaged and deemed uneconomical to repair by an insurance company, but has since been repaired and re-registered. A statutory write-off (irreparable damage) can never be re-registered.
Risks
Structural integrity may be compromised even after repair. Hidden damage may appear later. Insurance companies may refuse to cover rebuilt vehicles, or charge higher premiums. Resale value is significantly lower (20-40% less than clean-title equivalents).
When It Might Be Worth It
If the damage was cosmetic (hail damage, minor panel work), the repair was done professionally, you can get a comprehensive independent inspection, and the price reflects the title history (at least 30% below market).
NORTH Motor Policy
We do not sell rebuilt write-off vehicles. Every vehicle in our inventory has a clean title verified through PPSR. We believe our customers deserve complete confidence in their purchase.
