Looks like a reasonably basic model, although im not really up on 197 options, how much could that be repaired for, im guessing the airbags etc are big money.

Been on for ages mate...

Hmm 4k to put right, maybe more??

not worth it imo, by the time uve got it straight, u could of brought a new one, lol.

airbags, dash, front bumper, possible bonnet, nearside front wing, then theres the possibitly of subframe damage so ud have to get all that checked.

not worth the effort.

plus it'll always be cat c.

First time today i ve searched for 197 on ebay, loads on there, one for £9995 so this is abit steep then.

Doesn't look a great deal of damage from the pictures especially to write it off as cat-c. Which makes me wonder whether it's had any impact on the chassis leg or suspension/steering rack etc.

This looks cheap, unmarked log book too:

Wouldn't even bother looking.

unmarked log book could still be a cat D car.

Needs checking out first.

Cit-Ren are the people who repaired a Cat C Trophy and described it as lightly damaged... crap reputation so i'd avoid most of what they sell tbh

Ive had a few dealings with them and were fine...

Like any breakers a bit of common sense needs to bea apllied. That said the 197 is worth its cash.

Yeah it was someone on here (had the fencepost through the windscreen and dash I think+ subframe damage)

197 is gonna be expensive to repair, not as though there would be many breaking to gets parts etc. So all new parts from renault ££££ + as said it will always be CAT C regardless.

I believe it was Bubbles's other half Gareth (FunkyMonkey).

I agree with examples down to £9.5k it wouldn't be worth it.

yup it was my Trophy they tried and failed to sell on a number of occasions... but on topic that 197 to me seems pricey for a Cat C bearing in mind what you can pick up uncrashed and categorised 197's for
