They definately need to advertise it as a repairable right off or a damaged vehicle.

Are we sure that it wasnt advertised like that online??

They dont need to sell cars roadworthy as they sell them un-registered, but its very buyer beware.

I used to buy cars online for a client from Sydney and Melbourne from Pickles sight unseen and we never had a drama, these were 2 year old Fairlanes tho, bought a heap of them at the time and they always had inspection reports online which matched up to what we got when we received them.
