Imagine the state it must have been in though, In 09 it was probably worth nearly 10k so to write it off the insurance must have thought it was going to cost around that to repair.
Thats what im thinking... Id like to see the pics of it before repair...
A car can be re-shelled into a brand new shell but is still classed as a write off apparently..

Read on a forum a while back that the categories are just a classification used by insurance companies, and the law doesn't state a written off car cant be put back on the road be it A, B, C or D. It was a forum though, so might not be right.

Colour doesn't really come into valuing cars until the customer isn't happy with the settlement. Then they have to prove it's value.
Cat B is pretty bad. If it had been re-shelled you would hope they would mention that in the advert as it's a good selling point.
I know I wouldn't want to go near that. It won't be safely repaired. I guarantee that much.
Vic and Rac checks Don't check the quality of repair work. They are checking the identity mostly and the mechanical side of things.

Whichever has fuel
Depends what Mark is after; a fun daily or a track car. But either way, Nearly five bags for a Cat B megane is insane.
no way, not for £4.5k.
If it was like £2.5/£3k and i was just using it as a track car then yeh. Does he have photos of the damage etc?
Id just look for a straight one

I think like that, tempting but would rather pay that bit extra for a hpi clear one.
I wouldnt pay 4.5k for it no way.. I wouldnt mind using it as a daily, Once the mrs goes back to Uni it will only be used at the weekend to get me to newcastle.. even then that wont be every weekend as il occasionally get the train or she'l come home..

It doesn't. You asked me what i'd spend £4500 if I was in his position. I said it depends on what type of car.
As has been said, cat b is pretty bad, but it could just have been alot of body work.
Take a new bumper for my 2002 honda, £700 ish new from honda. So whatever happened it wouldnt have been cheap.
Id get some pics if you can of the damage, if hes legit he should have some really.

Yeah, my guess would be though its probably been on its roof..
There are plenty of other meggys for £4.5k but the fact its white and rare is luring me... Il give him a message se if he has pics of the damage, if he hasnt got any il pass and look for a straight one..

I wouldn't buy it. Whats the point? Come resale time, nobody will but it and it will be a pain in the ass to sell.
BMW 330D
how come you bought a new bumper from honda and didn't get one from a breakers?
