Now there might be absolutely nothing wrong with this, but it seems a bit suspect to me. On an answer to a question, he has stated that the car was stolen and found, and then classed as cat. B write off, to which he got the car back and was now selling parts from it.

It looks funny, because he is selling everything off the car, and it looks to be in mint condition. How the hell can parts from a car that has supposed been classed as category B be in mint condition such as the bumpers, boot lid, doors, lights, and interior?

repost but yes dodgy

 

[polarbert]

D'oh, didn't think to check the ebay section!

 

[Nomad]

A category B write-off is usually a floorplan anyway isn't it?

Q:Looks like whole car for sale what happened

A: It got stolen my mate got it back but insurance wont let it back on the road cat b

 

[P4NLY]

Could have had big time engine damage...thats not for sale

 

[Adamhodg]

how can it being stolen then recovered be a cat b write off????. i cant understand that. Cat c or d mayb but not cat b.

 

[edde]

Cat B means the shells been damaged. I'm suprised though since all the panels seem to be Ok that there selling.

 

[polarbert]

I just had a reply back from him, he says that it was being ringed and that the police wouldn't let it back on the road, so he bought it and is selling the parts.

Ringing? I take it he means the plates have been copied?

If so then just get the car on a new number plate its not difficult.

 

[polarbert]

Yeah, its really weird.

[jayxx83]

Looked dodgy to me when I was on there. Virtually the whole car on there!

 

[J203425]

definetly dodgy as sum1 said earlier cat b is usually chassis damage. even if the underside got twisted it would usually damge panels as well and they all look mint

[UncleGrumpy]

Dodgy as f**k that, if the bodyshell was twisted the doors would have taken some damage, wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, and if you look at one of the pictures theres some dodgy tracky bottoms in evidence, its a wrong un.

Well doen't he have the code for the radio? But as for the other stuff, then yes it does look a bit strange. Not sure what to make of the guy, but some decent parts for sale...

you would find the radio code in the front of the service book anyway. seems a bit suspect, was asking him about arch liners and he said he had them and hasn't got back to me in a while. was happy to give me his address to arrange pickup.

Minor evidence of shill bidding going on here too perhaps...
