Ultimately it's a £600 car,

You can probably break it and get your money back if the worst happens, just make sure no one has stolen the cat off it.

It has an engine light for cat, which suggests cat has been stolen but seller is adamant it hasn't been.

Would probably check that out in person before going any further

Tatty must be an understatement. It is about half the price of the cheapest on the market, and that is a wreck! Pics?

Edit, just sn update.

Walked away from the car... maybe worse mistake in my life, I'm sure it had original car... but the car was mouldy, stink like fish. windshield had a huge crack...

I could have made a few Bob, but just could not be assed with it... still feel sick after sitting in that car.
