dangeestarlet Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 looks good buddy, would be a shame if it's been in a smash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nevertomorrow Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) did you do a hpi check on it bud as it is CAT C DAMAGED REPAIRED insurance write off hello bud How did u know it's a cat c? does anyone know how this happened?? Also what stage is Cat c I didn't even think about doing a HPI check silly me... Well i just done one and it has been cat C witch is fairly disappointing. How bad would the smash have to be for a cat C or could it be as little as a dent in the door ect?? Edited August 3, 2014 by nevertomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nevertomorrow Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Ahaaa just found out some information. traced 2 owners ago and here is a pic of the smash: The guy said a woman reversed into him well he was eating food. What you guys thing of that ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtturbo94 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 aa unlucky mate pure pain to find out but i wouldnt be too worried about that tbhthere is people still driving there cars around like that and not even thinking of fixing it pure paddy attitude yano Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Always HPI a car before buying a car. Being a cat C the value drops a fair bit, ask for some money back? He should have mentioned that in his for sale ad to be honest mateAamir Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Cat C can be quite decieving some times as ive seen loads of cars that are cat D with much worse damage. My first car was cat C and all it needed was a sump, subframe and front splitter as the person had run over a post. Where as my bro got a bmw cat D and the whole front end had gone and both chassis legs were bent badly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Turbo Goose Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Cars that have been written off and repaired id say you could knock up to 30% off market value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nevertomorrow Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Its a shame really. To be honest i wouldn't of mind if he had told me but for the fact he hasn't and I've obviously payed more then i should of im slightly dissapointed . And now the fact it will be harder to sell but oh well just gives me a excuse to keep it longer Cheers guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
