Erm, mate. Where's your air filter...

£1500 for a 2000 PH1 with 102k isn't great in my opinion, especially not after seeing what he does to it, makes you wonder how he drives it...
In comparison, i just picked up a Cat D 172 PH2 for £1800 with 46k ont clock, £300 of fixes and its like new

A Cat C could be like new once you've sorted it mate, nevermind a Cat D, that could be the most minor of work.
A lot of people will buy new cars that have had stuff re-done to them at the factory.
Say it had front bumper and wing damage and you straight replaced them, would it not be like new?
A good example is a guy we ensure at my work, he has a Bentley Continental GT, some bellend on a scooter went into the side of it and caused a right mess, no garage was willing to touch, technically by rights, that was a write off. Yet he spent 15k getting the panels put right by Bentley engineers, it would of been in better nick than before!

It would, but its always got the Cat D status, meaning its not worth as much. You don't have to preach your case to me. I'd drive a Cat A if it was possible, I don't care. But the fact is, its worth considerably less as a categorised car.
Oh aye, you are right about the status of 'categorised' car but i'm talking about the physical condition which in my opinion means as much.
If someone offered me a 2003 Cat C 172 with 50k that was maintained perfectly with full service history and he wanted £2500 for it or, a none categorised 2003 172 with 50k on, obvious signs of someone not really keeping it tidy (like a replaced fog light for pure bad boy air intake innit...) and self servicing, i know which i would rather pay more for.
Still though, i'm eagerly anticipating this guys response on eBay! ha
