Buying a Totalled Twin
Hey Guys,
I need a 2017 project! And my FR-S needs a little brother/sister! I want an insurance write off "totalled" twin but I have no idea where to even start looking for one. I know I can keep an eye on collision centers, etc. But there has to be a better way. If you can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome! |

Is there a reason you want a totaled one? 2013's used are pretty damn cheap.

I want to start as cheap as possible. I'd be removing most of the factory stuff regardless so a used running car is already overpriced. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Insurance auctions. Like, Geico has auctions? Wouldn't they use a 3rd party like an auction house or something? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have seen few go on sale on copart in Ontario in the past. Keep an eye out on copart website. But, they are usually really messed up. Better luck buying from states, if you can.
