£700?! Lol, it isn't a Saxo vtr you know

£2k is the going rate for 60-90k mile UK Turbo 2000's, price going up to £3.5k depending on mods, engine rebuild, etc. Asking price anyway.

Anything less than £2k is your usual 130k mile knackers with orange wheels and lexus rear lights.


I'm not bothered that it IS a Cat C write off, it's the fact that it was written off 2 months after it was brand new. Thus the damage was valued at more than what the car was brand new, or there abouts. Which,is a LOT of damage.
I mean I like the look of the car, it has good mileage, all past MOT's, etc. It's just this Cat C thing that doesn't add up.

 

Crack on and buy it then ........

 

So the owner is a dealer but "didn't know" it was a write-off? He's either a liar or a **** dealer. My money would be on him lying.

I know what it's like when you've seen one you want and imagine yourself driving it. I had the same, I was torn between 2 typeR's but waited. One eventually was sold as "engine knocking" by the same dealer. The other is outside my house.

 

I might haha


But in all seriousnous, I might look at it and if it's in good condition and the MOT's and everything looks good offer him £1200. I want the car to last a good year or two but I'll still have problems selling it as it is a Cat C car, no matter how straight it is. That needs to be reflected in the price I pay for it.

If he won't take it then I'll walk away. Although if he does take it then I'll be curious at to why he had it at £2k if he was happy with £1200

 

Again, tell him it's a Cat C, and guage his reaction and response.

 

Only pulling your leg fella. T'is the the Scoobynet way!

Now, crawl back under your rock!

 

All sounds a bit dodgy dealer to me.

I'd walk away, but it's not my money so fill yer boots.

 

+1.

A car dealer with a private car sale?
Nice way of getting around Consumer Protection legislation that.

 

Nice attempt you mean as it wouldn't work if the buyer was on the ball.
