Im not googling Cat D I want you to tell me what that is?
its an insurance write off category (though they changed a while ago, think it is N now) but basically the insurance company said it was uneconomical to repair as the damage was too extensive - it was not so extensive it has to be scrapped though, so with 2nd hand parts, your own labour it may be worthwhile returning to the road.Edited by UK952 on Monday 1st March 12:49

I think BOTB bought it and are raffling it which explains the high sale price.
Didn't they announce that before the auction ended though? is it the other Litchfield car - the black one they have? Pics of both on BOTB website.
Had to go to the butchers today which is quite a long route, the roads were surprisingly quiet and a pleasant 13deg outside. The car just felt so capable on the B roads and it was nice just to get to know the car a bit more. I’ve mainly been commuting which has got a bit dull (not because of the car) but being able to push on was a nice change. I also had another attempt at a 0-60 with a slight incline and got a 5.19 I’m still s
t at them and have no real need to get better at them but as there was an opportunity I thought why not.

Out of interest, when is your current delivery date, I’ve not got the app with dealer telling me my delivery is 20th April so thinking it must be being built around now.

One proviso that may may make my experience irrelevant to yours, is that I live in Poland, I've seen a lot of guys here from the UK who ordered the same time as me and have already picked up their cars.
If your delivery date is the 20th April, then yours is almost certainly already on the ship and on it's way.

I ordered on the 12th November, and the delivery date is 30th June, which seems about right from what I read here for lead times once a car goes into build.

Thanks, sounds like mine could be sailing, will have to send a mail to the dealer for an update on where it is in the build.

I’m guessing he’s Australian as that was the first buyers price. If you don’t want the car go for it. If you like your car don’t go for it.
Thanks guys for the enlightenment.Yeah well I'll pick up in two days, in all seriousness I'll know for sure on the day.
I'm sure by all accounts from reviews, I'll be keeping it.

I picked mine up last friday. I never had any intention to sell it and I still don't - even if someone offered me $55k for it. Besides, I don't what I would replace it with for anything near $55k.
Have to agree with you there. UK owners can sell for 35 easily but then what else would you get? The competitors are either 2wd or 4wd autos and all are just so massive.Gassing Station | Toyota | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
