This car does exist, I happened to see it last week.

It's just a fair price, as it did have a slow speed end shunt to the boot spoiler area sometime ago

I am sure that was for sale a while ago when I was looking for mine. As graham says it had been in a recorded incident. No idea why the sellers do not say as you will find out at some point and obvious from the price.

was previously a PH member - see here in the Sagaris register:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... Register (v5)

"written off - since repaired"

so obviously a Cat d, and reflected in the price for an 07 car with 4K miles

like any Cat d, as long as you buy it cheap enough, get it thoroughly inspected, and understand that you will have a very limited market come resale time, then it could be a good deal.

Hi,

I'm not familiar with these diffrent categories...

Cat D, does that mean the chassis has been damaged or only bodywork??

cat D just means "non decided to repair" ...usually that its cheaper to give the owner thier £40K (whatever) and sell the rest to a breaker/repairer...could be anything ..maybe the insurers thought it was goint to take months to get the parts,...who knows

http://www.autocheck.co.uk/write-off-categories.ht...

the worst is that the car can never be taken off the register, even if its better than new....so best buy cheap, because come re-sale you have to sell it cheap to even get people interested frown

In my opinion, any Cat D Sag needs to be sub-£30k to make it worth a punt. You can get non-write off Sag's for just over £30k these days, why pay the same for something on the register.

so the car wasnt written off, like the previous owner said it was and posted on the register above?

...maybe someone ought to correct the register.....

Doesn't "condition inspected" mean the car was a cat C or cat D insurance write off; been repaired by somebody; taken to Autolign in Wolverhampton or Northampton; and been passed as satisfactorily repaired; and the cat C/D status removed?

I think you are right ....so does it still show on a HPI check as anything other than a "clean" car?
