As long as you know what you're looking for and appreciate that it's probably a bit of an unknown with regards to the engine it might be worth a punt..

If your buying the car to keep, its worth having a look to see how much damage there was / is ( ask for photos ect ) and see how well the repair has been done. Try to track down the service history also, see if you can find the last owner and ask as many questions as you can. But remember the car is cheap to buy now but it will also have to be cheap to sell at a later date if you did want to get rid of it. But a well documented cat d car can be a bargin.

Looks like it has no rear diffusor or panel ( carfefull camera angle to disguise it)and the airbox looks oxidised so you have to ask yourself if they are trying to sell it in this condition what was it like before? Only be worth a punt if you can get all the details on the history

I agree
I considered this one.
I seems over priced considering the cat D and condition.

Yea looks like good camera work. If they had repaired it, would they not be asking full money for it?

I'd go into it with my eyes wide open and not listen to any promises that the seller is offering.

If it had bent two arms and three wheels it must of had a decent "moment"

Still cat D so never going to be full money, but agreed it needs some serious enquires before parting with any folding.

a new rear diffuser, paint and labour will cost u a min of £1300, so ends up being quite pricey

This T350 as been around for a while,they were trying to sell it before it was fixed.I seem to remember someone saying it had been over a roundabout and there was some damage underneath.
