How bad is Catogory C accident damage?

[chris watton]

Just been looking at cars, and there are a couple of MX5s that are very cheap, but it says it has had 'Catogory C accident damage.Repaired and in Very good, as normal condition.'

Could this be potentially a very bad idea for a little sports car?

Cheers :)

You dont need to stay clear,i have had a couple of repair damaged cars a rover and a clio and they are both good cars,but like i say you need to find out what damage was done.

It may be worth investigating further then, it's a 2002 MX5 1.8 for just under £6K! She plans to keep the car for a long time, so resale value isn't a big issue, I just want to be 100% sure she won't kill herself due to the car having previous accident damage.

It may be OK, but have decided to not risk it, I would never forgive myself in anything happened because I tried to save a few quid.
