One from last year when I managed to come a (severe) cropper on some icy roads. (Lessons learned )

Suspension was bent front and rear, curtain & side airbag; all the panels done. - Managed to limp it home, though the strut being bent out of shape had it hopping sideways quite violently on expansion joints.

Now back on sale, no mention of the writeoff but some nicely mismatched arches - And they left the stickers on the back

It's an early 2000's (around 2002) Cadillac Eldorado.

I bet the owner is a skateboarder and they were just trying a grind dude.

This popped up on Facebook memories.

My brothers Xsara VTS, I was driving.

Skidded on ice, hit metal fence.

Wow... Was the car actually written off then? Bit worrying that the dealer hasn't mentioned it if it was...

One side has matching arches to the bodywork. The other side has totally different coloured arches!

That is amazing, what a lazy dealer. I must say though, if you're spending 8 grand on a car and you don't notice that then...

Love the description which includes "1 owner" which should read "1 owner who wrote it off".

You would have on a walkaround though. You would. Wouldn't you?

Has anyone called the dealer to say "um, you know it was written off. Right?"

Is it recorded as a write off, though?

As it's advertised as 1 owner, presumably the dealer bought it off the insurance company? So would know its history and quite possibly arranged the repair?

That apostrophe alone is enough to freak me out.
