[Benbosh]

Yeah its well worth it get it checked out by a mechanic firstly though

 

[coatesy]

get it checked out by a mechanic like he said thats 2750quid less than i paid for mine but with 10k more miles

 

[paul_h172]

its all been checked out, i know the guy whos car it is. cars fine only suffered light front end damage after hitting a dog

 

[Benbosh]

Well then yeah id say you are pulling his pants down mate . Buy it before someone else does that is ridiculously low price for a cup!

I had a CATD cup one at work, Was very difficult to sell.

I think its about right. Not shockingly cheap.

 

[paul_h172]

i wouldnt bother selling it on, going to use to for work keep the miles off the evo than use it as a track car.

Whats first part of the reg? My old one went up north only a few weeks ago.

i sold a ph quick cat D for 3.5k not very long ago. thats a good price.

 

[joe81]

I've seen them sell on flee bay for 3.5k. not a bad price, if you plan on keeping it for the long term then go for it, but don't expect to sell it on for a profit though

 

[Peperami]

3-3.5k

 

[.GAZ.]

get that bought!!

any piccies??

 

[Rob_02cup]

Mine sold for over 4k so its not too bad but not amazingly cheap either.

 

[Benbosh]

I dont see how some people can say that this car would be worth 3-3.5k thats 2k cheaper than a not accident repaired one. A cat d is minor damage. this is cheap at 3750 i mean what can you get for 3750??? not a lot i know!

Nothing to me as would never buy one.

The reduction in price is generally due to the stigma of car being branded a write-off...

 

[paul_h172]

the cat d doesnt bother me as it will only be used for work and track days

Yes but only people that do not understand what the groupings mean genrally are scared of any vehicle that has been "written off" (Cat D). If it has been repaired correctly then it will be as good and if not better than a non "written off" vehicle.

I mean this car hitting a dog has taken 2k off the value?? The person who is selling this could quite easily of taken it to a local repairers and got it rectified. And no-one would of been none the wiser.

 

[Josh@Renparts]

i bet it didn't hit a dog really. It wouldn't have been written off. Either that or it was a very big dog. Just because he is your mate doesn't mean he is telling the truth.

lol some people crack me up.

 

[.GAZ.]

a would buy 1 in a minute.. wouldnt put my kid in it tho!!

 

[rory182]

for that money fair enough.

Whoever bought a cat d ph quick for £3.5k is mad though cause you can buy a clean one which is not on the database for that.

 

[Iridium]

Price looks good to me mate, have it away if it's just to be a hack anyway
