lukEp Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Still a good price though, if it's been repaired to a high standard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harryrichardson Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Yeah I agree with you there bud, just don't think it's right to not tell people in the advert when a cars been cat c so it's purely a heads up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Yeah it's a hard one really. My mate bought a Mk1 Eunos and later when it got wrote off, he found out that it had been a cat c as such didn't get the payout he was expecting.The car was mint though, and this Glanza looks mint. It's a shame insurances write cars off, that looks pretty mint for the money. Any buyer worth their soul would my text check that and find out. Not on to not mention it though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harryrichardson Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 That's exactly it mate, I have no idea who repaired the car or the quality of the work and have never seen the car since insurance took it, from the pictures it does look like a really good job to be fair, I just couldn't sit here and not say anything if someone were to buy it not knowing the actual history of the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodney Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Do you know what the damage was? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harryrichardson Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 I have all the pictures somewhere still from when it was crashed into yeah, you can see fairly well from them what the damage was but as far as the work to fix it I have no idea what they did Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodney Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Thanks for that. How hard was the damage, was it just rear end? Did it need rear quarters? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harryrichardson Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) The damage was reasonable, bloke didn't see traffic slowing on a dual carriageway and changed lanes without braking, straight into the back of me. Both rear quarters were wrinkled, rear bumper was crumpled and so was boot, inside the boot the floor was crushed in but the spare wheel stopped it going too far in. There was about a 1 inch gap from the rear wheel to the front of the rear arch on one side and about a 2 and a half inch gap on the other side. As I've said though I have never seen the car since so as long as the works been carried out to a good standard it shouldn't pose too much of an issue Edited May 15, 2017 by harryrichardson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodney Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Ideal at least I know where to look if I view it this week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
