What if you repair it then export it to Japan or something?
EDIT: I wouldn't buy any CAT C or D unless it was something I intended to keep forever and didn't expect to appreciate in value.
Why would you need to keep a cat C or D car forever? You buy then cheap and sell them cheap once you are done. They depreciate at the same rate as any other simular pre-accident car.EDIT: I wouldn't buy any CAT C or D unless it was something I intended to keep forever and didn't expect to appreciate in value.
I dont fear cat c/d cars as long as i can see pictures of the car before and a record of the work completed. I have seen new model fiestas written off after having lost a wing mirror and crunched the drivers door and rear door against another object/car/wall.
As for this car, its a stunner but i wouldnt touch it at 60k.

You do realise they probably just bin the broken parts and bolt on brand new parts. Therefore it should be perfect.
Secondly there are some cars properly smashed up and fixed by main dealers (using the method above) and sold on with no CAT warning at all. So you may well have owned a car which has been through a similar story with no knowledge of it at all.

Pretty sure its not as simple as lego when it comes to repairing accident damage cars.

any dealer worth his salt with high end sports cars would avoid Cat C/D cars

Not a lot of visual damage to have written off a 100k car.
Could take a while to get parts, hire car won't be a stty little Vauxhall either so costs will mount! I'd also imagine that the loss in value would be more than more day-to-day cars.The repair looks odd though, the bonnet panel gap (all round) looks massive. Shoddy repair perhaps? Or a more underlying chassis issue such that this is as close as they could make the panel gaps!!
