Cat D Land Rover

[mister_ee]

I'm just in the process of buying a 110 County (51 plate with what appears to be a genuine 76,000 miles) but the HPI has just come with it being a CAT D write off in 2009, it's up for £9500, should I still buy it and how much should I try to get knocked off?

I would be more concerned about ringing than dodgy repairs.

So checking chassis/engine numbers for tampering?

Assuming good condition and verifiable ID, could be a bargain. Have a look at MOT history, especially around the time of the write off. Sometimes you can get a hint of what the damage was.

Not a bargain - he wasn't going to come down any so I bailed out - gutted, oh well back to looking again

Loads out there around that age for around that money without the mark of the devil.
Keep looking.

Supposedly post crash also fetch more money in terms of insurance premiums. So its a good thing you didnt get it.
