From the sound of it I'd stay well away, Drama written all over it there's no such thing as no history on a Car like that, I wouldn't give more than £5000 and use it only as a track car, there's no real value in a car like that

Thanks, can you reccomend any good finance deals on a 111r ideally looking no more than 22k would like to keep for no more than a year and then sell

If it is only a year the rate is not important, you need to check that there will be no redemption penalties if you pay it off in full after the 12 months is up

For 22k you may as well get a loan from somewhere like directline at 6.1% at the moment. Check out their website for the calculator.

Buy private but get the car checked over by a specialist before you make a final decision.

Knock 5k off your loan and get a decent low mileage 04 model 111S with FSH
Shouldn't depreciate as much as the newer car and will be every bit as enjoyable.

If it's Cat D there will have been chasis damage. If they say there isn't
I would seriously question it.
Whether that damage is bad or not....is kinda irrelevant as you will have
problems reselling it and it will, at the very least, need a thorough checking.
