Default Albion Devastated

Just drove past Albion JCD and the yard was fairly full as always and the cars were all smashed up, dents all over them some had broken screens. Just heart breaking to see so much carnage. Scifleet Toyota just down the road had the same story....

It will be interesting to see how many will be recoverable. An informal chat with a dent specialist suggested that my three year old JK, which sustained what I would consider mild ish damage (one of which, unfortunately, was on the windscreen surround), will likely be written off by my insurance company.

Cheap JKs flooding the market will be precisely what I need if I'm going to have to replace mine, otherwise no more Jeep for me, sadly.

Albion isnt as bad as Moorooka. Make that 2 jeep dealers with no cars left.

pretty much every car on the magic mile is pretty much a write off

Just remember that insurance companies typically don't like/won't insure a hailed damaged vehicle unless it is fully repaired, so if you buy one you may be stuck with an uninsurable Jeep until fixed.

Cheers

Drove past Moorooka Jeep on the weekend. All the jeeps looked fine. Some dealers must either have under cover areas somewhere or covered them all up. Not all dealer had the same luck
