Buying cat C Sports cars - your experience.

[Benbay001]

Has anyone bought a Cat C sports car?

How much cheaper than a non cat c was it?

Did any crash damage problems rear their head during owner ship?

How hard was it to sell on?

Thanks
Ben

I think you have to go into a Cat-C (or whatever the new name is) with the intention of never selling it (or keeping the car until the equivalent non-crashed one is also worthless).

Depends if you ever want to sell it, sports cars are more difficult to sell then normal cars generally, never mind a cat C

It's all relative regarding the price. You've paid less than market rate for it, therefore your buyer will pay less than market rate for it.

I agree, and understand.

In that case, its a no go. I struggle to keep cars past 2 years, like most PHers.
