Looks like the front bumper has been respray, so could be damage behind there. Missing a front arch liner, bonnet is creased along with the tailgate and rear bumper. Could have a boot crease as well. Yes ofc its cat D, but Cat D with all that damage. Either thats the second lot of damage or its not been repaired properly.

I'd steer very clear of this. Been a cat d could be hard to sell on again as well.

You can probably get a bumper/boot for £200. Then depending on who/where to get it sprayed, mebbe £150.

It's also got no tax (£235) and no MOT. Which could cost hundreds. Plus the fact it's worth sod all if you sell it as it's CAT D.

I'd leave it and find another. If it was so easy to fix, he would and make more money.

*edit*

Didn't notice the bonnet. Awful bottom grille too.

AVOID!

Looking at it again, all the suspension look's at different heights. Car's fucked.

For about an extra £500 you could prob get a straight one.

 

[adam248]

I looked at this last week, 182 wheels which made me question its credibility and the fact there was no proof of the belts being done.

 

[adam248]

yes i have seen it on here for a while really cant find the right car

 

[Jon.G]

I've had my eye on this monaco as it looks mint. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2519898.htm

But im holding out until I have a secure job.

 

[adam248]

wow does look mint would the higher milage make any difference good history though?

 

[Jon.G]

avg mileage these days is 12k. With that being 9years old its below average mileage. As long as its got good service history and belts done id have it. With the servicing at JMS it inspires more confidence in the car.

 

[adam248]

yes your right good place to be serviced also with new tyres, newish discs/pads

[Jon.G]

No mention of service history but could be good if it has.

 

[adam248]
