cat c ph1 172

[Josh@Renparts]

what u lot reckon its worth...

2000 on an X flame red 40k miles..... all pics to show what it looked like before the repairs...

 

[Russ_16v]

lets see the pics

 

[Josh@Renparts]

i havent bought it yet...

subframe, lower arm, front bumper... possibly rack... so not extensive damage.. due to its age takes very little for it to become cat C

 

[aaronc]

£2500

 

[Russ_16v]

hmm prob 3k ish mate,they have dropped in price,after i bought mine iv seen a few around the 2600ish mark,with 20k miles less than mine grrr
still i did only pay just over 2k lol

 

[JR]

Josh

It books at £4525 retail with 40k on the clock and £3350 trade.

That is if it was not a cat c. That is for an hpi clear mint example.

 

[Ad]

^ yeah but for that money will less miles they are likley to be shitters.

Listed it should be 3k i reckon. is it the Yplate that was on ebay??

 

[edde]

£2.8k IMO no more.

 

[JR]

£2500

If you can get it for that, i think you have done well, i would buy it for 2k-2.5k Providing the repairs were spot on

 

[Josh@Renparts]

just one im looking at buying to sell on one of the salvage sites... don't want to pay too much.. damage is ludicrously light just feel it will be murder finding front bumper other than a dealer.., not that i havent got enough on atm... with the cat X 172 im working on....

 

[C.slicker]

If the repairs were spot on I would say 2700.

Remember... when you come to sell it will be appealing to those who probably won't HPI it.

true mate,i bought mine on 98k,tho with fsh and just a few odd n sods needing doin,which id rather have than a chep low mile tatty one

 

[Josh@Renparts]

looks to be in a nice condition..... seems like the front bumper has been removed by the insurance assesors as all the undertray etc are just unclipped and has been unclipped from the wings... not in a position to view going to wack a bid in... think im just addicted to buying 2.0 french stuff i can't even insure...

finding a front bumper will probably be a mission... usually i buy stuff parts are readily available for and CAT X.... any ideas on front bumper price from renault?

Josh, would you admit to potential buyers it is Cat C?

Sam

yes definitely... totally unfair and fraudulent... if people are buying a car imo they are entitled to know wether it is an insurance write off..

a flame one went on an auction on ebay (cat d) for 3000 with a decription in text talk lol...

Anyone who don't is a crook IMO.

yeh if you want to make money out of salvage on a long term basis like i am trying to do... if it is categorised you don't have a choice but to inform a buyer... if its cat X and a buyer doesn't ask then your not obliged to imo...

 

[Josh@Renparts]

[Paulblack172]

Hi i was in renault the other week and just out of interest i asked the price on a new bumper it was around 600 quid

That inferno 182 cup was back up for sale for 7499 quid, after being for sale at 3k less.

 

[Paulblack172]

I have seen on prima racing you can get one for 225

 

[weewebbo]

I had an inspection done on a claimed Cat C car recently. The inspector said the car would automatically be worth only 50% of the value of an quivalent car not accident damaged, after the repairs if the work done put it back to an immaculate condition. So if that car is repaired and being sold it would only be worth £2.5k at the most. So think how much its going to cost to repair and take that from its potential market value and hey presto thats what you should pay for it. Around £1k IMO.

it does depend on the car and the market.... A young lad doesn't really care if he can get one cat c/d for 3k for example if its a nice one with low miles.... I think if you have pics before to prove it was small damage. 50% is a bit of a silly figure.... for example an old landcruiser on cat c/D is worth almost the same as a straight one...
