Another Cheap GT3
Discussion
It's obvious why it's cheap but hasn't stopped me from looking at the ad a few times!

Presumably must have been a lot of damage to make it a Cat C?

Does seem cheap.
Provided you check it out thoroughly before purchase, there is absolutely no reason why a CAT C car (Repaired well, to high standard) would be any different to any other age/milage car.
Before purchasing, I'd suggest..
- Requesting pics of damage from current owner.
- Full details of repairs, who did the repair? Check out their reputation, and ask for any invoices to validate the repairs made vs damage shown on pics.
- Full inspection should be a no-brainer to validate all the above.
Worth making sure you're getting the value you think you are also, a Damaged repaired car, is usually worth around 25% less than the equivalent non-damaged car at resale.. Although it seems cheap, is it 25% less than the nearest non-damaged GT3?

If repairs are as good as they say, and the price is right, why not.
Only thing you have to ask yourself is , at the back of your mind would you be happy knowing it is damaged repaired.
I am sure a lot of people could live with it, but not so sure I could personally. My mind would be playing tricks on me.
But at the end of the day, it is not me buying it. So only you will know if it feels right or not. Get it inspected, drive it and if all good your head and your heart will tell you if it's the right one.

ETA - I don't think it's the same car - the thread for the above was 2010, the ad for this car says the damage was 4 years ago.

Indeed Mr C, the car photographed was (IIRC) up for sale at Northways (it's owner had a Lambo of some description too) then it appeared at Porsche Centre Byfleet.http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0...

I went to view it there at 12.30pm, it passed the blind man on a galloping horse, in the rain, at midnight from ten paces test admirably.
After a closer (and brief) inspection I was back on the road homebound by 12.34pm . . . .
