Would you buy a 2000 cat c car that was cat c in 2006?

[Jamaica]

Looking at a motor it is around £550, probably worth £1200 as a non cat.

Did a HPI check it was made a cat c in 2006 and has done 25k miles since then.

Is it worth coughing up the extra £700 for a non cat. The scrap price of the car is £300, it has mot for a few months, if it turns out to be a lemon id scrap and lost £200.

The HPI Check says:
This vehicle has had a Vehicle Identity Check (VIC) completed by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA). The result was: Pass

Yes, no, maybe.

Who can possibly say without seeing the car.

Go view and drive it, if it looks and feels it right, its right. Maybe insist on a fresh MOT so you will get a year out of it.

Is it a 20 year old diesel?

No thats the daily. It is a petrol.

For £550 I don't think it matters if it was written off 16 years ago. It looks well priced if it's half the price of a car that hasn't been written off.

If it passed a VIC check for that money I'd take a punt on it - after all it has already survived another 16 years!
