No mention of history or cambelt/waterpump. And it's done 100,000 miles.

I'd say that was a fair price.

 

[Chrisgti6]

It does say full service history, but I doubt the belts have been done. It could be a bargain, it could be a nail - who knows. £3,800 is a very good price in my opinion even with 97k on the clock if it's in ok condition.

 

[Gally]

Seems alright, there was an Albi up for 4k on PH the other week. 75k miles iirc. Not worth much these days and not cheap to run!

 

[Kelv]

worth a view at that price, and quite smart in the nimbus grey.

If it has full service history surly that includes belts?

That's a big IF though.

 

[George182]

I am glad these are getting cheap

Give it a year or so and I'll be able to buy one - just to pinch bits for my 182 (seats and brembo callipers) and flog the rest!

This car is Cat D. The owner wanted to swap with my friends modified ST. On the day my friend was going to look at it he decided to hpi it first.

It's not worth looking at.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo chance!

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

He told my friend the belts had been done, but he also told him it was hpi clear.

Go figure

This sold a couple of weeks a go, Seems odd it's back on!

Good spec. £3500 on the car, £1000ish to make sure everything is alright. Hero spec r27 for £4500

Still Cat D though.... so only ever going to be worth 70% of a non cat d. Ok if you plan on keeping it forever but not if you plan on selling it on. I'd rather be spending £6k on a decent, non damaged lower mileage car personally

Didn't see that. Avoid like the plague

 

[Chip-mk1]

I dont think it needs avoiding, still a nice car and still cheap even with Cat D, just accept its worth less when you sell it too, but as you have paid less thats no real loss.

I'd buy that as a project car if i wanted a mk3 I reckon. (although would still try and haggle lower price on the basis of Cat D and no belt proof

 

[Gally]

Agreed Chip. I posted something ages about buying V cars. It's a great way into a car you might not be able to afford.

True, what's annoying are the people who don't declare it & still ask going rate money t*ssers!

Proper c***s!!!

 

[Prestigechris]

Thing is cat d doesn't mean it was that bad. Could be panel damage, water damage etc. I'd be tempted for £3500 if he would take an offer.

 

[midge]

Cat D is no problem, most cars will have suffered Cat D damage at some point, very few will have gone through insurance.
Cat D is a way of buying very cheap cars imo, as long as you check them over properly - No problem.

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

It's not a issue it being Cat D. It's the issue that he's not mentioned it in his advert. What else has he lied about...
