I purchased a Williams 2 about 8 months ago and paid £1900 for it. Its on a M plate with only 56k miles, immaculate inside...... Sounds like a bargin i here you say. Unfortunatley the car was involved in a minnor accident last year and subsequently written off (cat C) purley because of the extensive damage to the body work. To cut a long story short I have been quoted about £1700 to repair every dent and scratch and a full respray to return it to its former glory. In additon to this cost I have recently discovered that the subframe is slighty bend which is why it pulls to the left a bit. A further cost of about £400. The engine though is in very good state, have driven about 4k miles since I have had, trouble free!! passed MOT no probs!
Do I.......
A) Cut my losses and sell for probably around £1000, £1500 if Im lucky. And then buy a left handed Audi TT for around £10000. or new 182.
or
B) Throw another £2000 at it a return it to immaculate status. I love it to bits and think its the least it deserves Bearing in mind that it would still only be worth about £4000 at the end (if Im lucky again) because it will still have the cat C. I was oringally told that the cat C can be removed, now not to sure.
Your thoughts?
