I don't want to be the first to chuck my two pence in but the ad to said vehicle says it has had a new chassis because of the damage. How is that only on cat D if that's the case?

I'm guessing this car:

I don't konw the car but the cat D issue would not put me off if the price was right and the work was completed to a good standard and the fact that the car has had a new chassis I would see as a bonus.

Is that the same car with the interesting bonnet paint job we saw a few months ago? I ask because the bonnet is missing in these photos.

You really need to see before and after photos of the damaged area(s) before making a decision on whether to buy. Check the V5 for the last owner and contact them if the seller can't/won't/doesn't have the info.

I enquired about his car when I was looking for a T350. The guy selling it had 2, another crash damaged grigio titanium one (dont know if he still does), and the blue one required new seats, so he put the seats, centre console, door cards from the other car into it. Hence why the interior is light grey/mauve and the seats are white/black. It was also on a private plate. As long as the repairs are upto a good standard and there is a detailed history of the damage, it looks like a good buy, if a little on the pricey side.

Nah, the grigio titanium one now resides with me. If you go to look make sure you check all the electrics ( I unfortunately didn`t as the battery was flat ) as someone had changed all the good control boxes/screen e.t.c. for knackered items. I`m not saying it was the seller, but just check. I wouldn`t let a cat c or d put me off as long as it was for the right price. It is a cheap way into a 350 !!

Have a CAT D and as long as the repair work is well documented with photo's, as mine was, and done to a high standard, the outcome can be 'better' than new. No intention of selling mine so re-sale value really isn't an issue.

Worth a shout if the price is right, not going to get much worth looking at straight for much less than £20k. Spent £16k on mine and put £2k into it, giving me quite a unique motor with my signature on it. Worth all the money and time (not back yet from a re-trim started in December).

Yikes! Are you saying you had a crash AFTER you bought it/tattoed etc? Or before?

yes i bought the blue t350 with the tatoo on the bonnet, had a crash not long after i had bought it.
Great car, pure driver error, but no one was hurt.

debating whether to repair or sell as damaged!

Sorry to hear this. How damaged is it? Unless the main chassis rails are bent it may be repairable for sensible money.
