Hello. Is it possible to trade in or sell a car under Australian Consumer Law that was written off? I bought a 2014 Polo and was involved in a car accident.

Yes, but you will need to make it clear to the buyer that the car has been written off and to what extent it is damaged.

Hi @luchell
  1. Which state/territory are you located in?
  2. Was the the car assessed as a repairable write-off or unrepairable/statutory write-off?
