Now, the price seems superb... but aside from the info. he has given with regards to the front-ender it has been involved in... is there anything else on this car that looks a tad suspicious?

I'm seriously tempted to drop him an email to arrange an inspection. Just wanted the opinion of the experts. See if anyone can spot something about this vehicle that'd explain its low price.

Ta fellas.

I think theres another thread about this car. Maybe worth a search

I apologise for wasting your time then. However, searching the forum wouldn't of been my first port of call when looking over a possible purchase.. parts maybe, but not an actual car.

I've just done a search on the CAT C and D.. but it's pretty much proved useless. What's the difference? In the meantime, I'll try search again, rather than be flayed.

Ta.

don't touch it!

And it's just occured to me the meaning of the CAT C and D. Uneconomical to repair. Of course.

Early mornings and late-nights don't mix. Thought this price was too good to be true!!

Thanks again.

o Category A:

Scrap only - this vehicle should have been crushed. It should never reappear on the road and there are no economically salvageable parts. It is of value only for scrap metal - e.g. a totally burnt-out vehicle.

o Category B:

The bodyshell should have been crushed. The vehicle should never reappear on the road, but it can be broken for spare parts plus any residual scrap metal.

o Category C:

Vehicle extensively damaged and insurer has decided not to repair. May be repaired and put back on the road. Has to pass an inspection to be re-registered as damaged repaired.

o Category D:

Vehicle damaged and insurer has decided not to repair. When fixed can be re-registered as damaged repaired.

o Category F:

Vehicle damaged by fire and insurer has decided not to repair. When fixed can be re-registered as damaged repaired.

Once again, thanks so much, Pabs

Much appreciated.

knock him for £3400

Is this mess able to be straightened out or will it require big-bucks to resolve, generally speaking?

 

[Andy3004]

The fact that the guy lied about it being a cat D when it was a C would make me run a mile..... no guarantees as to the quality of repair and more importantly the safety of the car.....

IF it was a genuine D done properly then it's a potentially nice car for reduced ££££, but avoid this one like the others have said mate.

Will do guys, I appreciate the advice
