Should i worry about buying/selling a cat c chimera
Discussion
There's a real nice 450 chim that come up for sale that im having a look at today.
Ive been after a chim for a while now and after travelling 100,s if not 1000,s of miles over the last 6 months or so ive still not managed to find a good one. (im not expecting a new car btw)
Its started to put me off buying one, but this 450 looks real nice (but so did the rest)
The only down side is its a cat c car.
Where as it doesn't bother me it is a concern if when the time comes to sell on will I have problems.
selling it.

Had a cat c Griff a few years ago. Buy cheap, enjoy, sell cheap. Eazy.
If you want a straight 98 450, selling mine now for less than that...
I wish id seen this earlier im on my way to see it but where abouts are you?If you want a straight 98 450, selling mine now for less than that...
The seller told me he bought it off his mate who did lose the back end resulting in the damage.
Well in short its now sat on my drive.
Ive been looking for one since August last year and looked at least 13 or so cars in that time.
Had ruled out buying a Cat c just due to the problems i may have when the time comes to sell.
But not once did i think of the cat c part of it on the drive home
The seller had his own garage with ramp and left me to it.
Slight bit of play from the rear diff mount which he pointed out and bit of a leak from the sump gasket, Not enough to worry about.
The history with the car is amazing with what i expect to be every bill since new including original bill of sale for 37k and a letter from TVR to the new owner.
Couple of faults i did find on the drive home through
The temp didn't go over 60 but the heaters are great and there's no dash lights.
So my advise would be like everyone has said buy on condition even if the best you find happens to be a cat c/d
