Every write off that's been repaired will split in half as soon as you drive away. ;-)

Im just picturing a scenario of a cambelt failure on a clio under warranty. The mechancic spots a front end repair. Who has the final say on weather it may have been unseen stress from the impact? I Suppose if they arent looking for body work damage then you may get away without a fight. I think if you could possibly buy 1 as a Cat D from salvage (probably a trade buyer) and put it back on the road yourself, then you may have a better insight into what you are buying. It seems there are plenty of above average mile 172's going quite cheap now, might be as well going for one of them with FSH?
