Default Buyer beware

This car used to belong to a a guy from another site! When it was crashed short wheel base was the only way to describe it. The back seat was even damaged!

Does state in the ad that it was a Cat D and at that price you would suspect something wasnt right.
Do you know the previous owner of the car?, be interesting to see if its lost any miles,etc.

The dealer is aware of the cars history and the fact that it was a cat d is stated in the advert. Personally i wouldnt buy it due to the damage it had!

Maybe a bargain for someone though!
