Anyone know anything about it?

 

probably is then. no such thing as a free lunch mate. it's cheap for a reason.

 

Buyer beware, you can't get a sound P1 for £5k!

TX.

 

Exactly. Especially as there's a P1 with same (ish) mileage about 5 cars down the same page for 9k iirc.

Pictures will probably show a missing front end......

 

The P1s on P/Heads range from £13k to £7k (106k miles) with that £5k one hanging out the bottom

TX.

Edit - this is the £13k one which sounds like it was owned by PSLs young son

There is never a need to not post photo's straight away ....... smells like a smelly thing!!

 

pretty....... *drools* shame I have to save for a wedding and a house with my bf. bloody men.

 

That is one of the best P1's Iv'e seen, Gazzabb has just sold it, now somewhere in the east midlands I think, A lot of ££ but one hell of a car

 

Why gold wheels and a red subaru badge on the £13k one?

 

because gold wheels goes well with sonic blue and the pink Sti badge is the japanese market bagde....I have exactly the same on mine along with the gold Oz wheels

 

oh i think there was a post by a scoobynetter regarding this car afew days back .

 

I dont think they are the brightest lot anyway

Now that is a P1...

 

any bets on that the bigends have gone on that p1, done well to last 70k

 

you dont have to DO anything. just take the savings out blow £13K and drive off into the sunset

 

my mate has one still available 5.5k with 50k on clock, was cat c damaged but repaired PROPERLY. ideal if you wanted one to keep, if you were out to make money on it though (as most usually are) then your choice. any inspections welcome.

 

very true. this price for this car is fair as it has on logbook previousy written off by insurer but repaired to standard. sadly, for most, this is like having a "I HAVE AIDS" sign hanging around your neck

 

 

Not a bad price for 2 cars

 

Like you said, as an investment to keep then an absolute steal.

Just out of interest whats the difference between Cat c and d damage?

Is d repairable and c a write off?

 

Cat C is where in the opinion of the insurer the cost to repair the damage sustained is in their opinion
more than their valuation of the car. a point to note is that many insurers over value damage and under value cars, sometimes to the owners advantage and sometimes not. as little as £300 can be in the diffrence between the 2 prices in them making their decision, plus, lots of people hope that the car is written off so they can buy it back (damaged) and get the work done much cheaper than valued by the insurer, although this is the long way around. scoobyclinic regularly bring scoobys "back to life" when insurers claim them to be a write off.
Cat D is basically damage caused in an accident repaired through insurance. many cars on the road today are still unofficially Cat Ds, they have just been repaired at cost to the owner so as to not increase ncb.
