"very Minor Front Bumper Crack And Dent On Bonnet" :S

 

[Adamhodg]

Your old car not been written off then? :S

 

[GinandGasoline]

well i had an interesting convo with the salvage yard.....

the car is apparently a Cat C (he thinks)

 

[S77CCP]

FFS! and people complain about it when you as the motor industry is bent! Dodgy as.

 

[Dan 172]

I'm guessing it still has the same bumper?

I guessing your car was a write off? Which Cat?

 

[Dan 172]

^^^^ Sorry to slow!

Mine was cat C too and I deffo wouldn't touch it with a bargepole!!! :S

 

[Nigel]

The price says it all. £7995 with only bumper damage. Yeah right. Something needs to change to stop innocent people buying written off cars.

funnily enough those were the words i uttered when i spoke with the salvage company earlier

this is the only reason i've posted what i have..... i'd hope that before someone buys it they research cliotrophy, cliosport or renaultsport where they'll see my posts of accident damage etc.

 

[Storm_Force]

who actually fixed it up then? Surely thats against trading standards? eg buy a written off car patching it then selling it "minor damage to bonnet and bumper" knowing full well what has happened to it grrrrrrrrrr, pisses me off chances are some innocent person will buy then discover what is wrong with it further down the line.

Lol, i tried to say this in another thread, and everyone thought i was just getting my claws out.

Some people don't seem to realise, it's CAT C for a reason :dapprove:

Dan agree completely...... but i think i know the thread you mean

 

[172blue]

That is absolutely outrageous!

If it is all straight, and been repaired well, then the price is possibly good value??, but "cracked bumper" does'nt exactly shout "cat c" unless the person asks. I guess as it needs a VIC test to go back on the road, it must have been repaired correctly? Although, does'nt sound as though they are very honest....

 

[GinandGasoline]

i wouldnt pay 8p for it yet alone 8k......

 

[al]

Agreed!! ^^

 

[Nigel]

If they are willing to leave big details out like the fact it's been written off, what else shall they neglect to mention?

It's wrong that its a case of "If you don't ask you don't know."
It should be a legal requirement to declare everything about the car to any prospective purchaser, not wait for them to ask.

 

[R20 CWH]

total nonsense, who gave them the car? the insurers?

 

[Rich]

That fire damaged Liquid Yellow in the pic was someones of here as well was it not?

 

[Craig]

it was indeed rich. cant remember who though. didnt someone set it on fire or something

 

[Christopher]

shocking reading!

should've been crushed!

...just after i took the Recaros out

 

[Ad]

guy called tapais, had a LY VX220 before it.

Crushed is a little dramatic CC, just needs to be cheaper.

 

[R20 CWH]

pile of pisch that.

some poor cnut will get stung

 

[GinandGasoline]

total nonsense, who gave them the car? the insurers?

yes he bought the car direct from the insurance company....

 

[R20 CWH]

for a sod all cost and then done the repairs

 

[kpowell911]

i've asked a question on ebay

 

[alexbleubolt]

is this the same one being sold by cit-ren, they had a few trophys so probably repaired it with their spare parts, for a quick profit, i would have taken it if i had the cash but saving for a meg 225

 

[Lou]

Someone is going to get stung if they dont read the add properly, as it says:

THIS AUCTION IS FOR A SET OF RENAULT CLIO WHEEL BOLTS.

 

[alexbleubolt]

to be honest i was supprised it was written off, probably a deal was made with the insurance company and this salvage yard, whos your insurance company ? as cit-ren seem to get all the cups and trophys and 182's ?

P.S. Gareth, them speed camera's up their didn't get me that other day i met you thank god.

 

[alexbleubolt]

Also the ad says adjustible suspension, so they probably scrapped the trophy shocks as they aren't adjustible, i think they had their own repaired trophy, so they probably used some parts from their

 

[Steve]

Gareth, post up the reg no' & let someone on here HPI it.

Just to see what it pulls up??????

 

[kpowell911]

LOL, sent em a link to this thread! Their reply:

IF YOU READ CAREFULLY IN THE LISTING TITLE IT STATES DAMAGED . WE ARE NOT HIDING ANYTHING FROM ANYONE THE CAR HAS BEEN SOLD BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO GO BACK ON THE ROAD . IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS COME AND SEE US IN PERSON AND DISCUSS YOUR PROBLEMS .IT IS ALSO NICE TO KNOW YOU HAVE GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR TIME.

good good..... think they're rarely loaded with film!

not that i intend to find out!

 

[GinandGasoline]

keep saving for the Meggy!!

 

[GinandGasoline]

...just after i took the Recaros out

drivers side Recaro isnt worth having as thw wood that came through the windscreen has ripped it..... and it was twisted slightly on the runners.

if they were decent still Bubbles would have battled you to the front of the queue for the seats!

 

[GinandGasoline]

hmmm, still for sale.... not sure why though

 

[Russy B]

hpi sounds a good idea
