No i don't mean all this, this is mine a few years before i got it a couple of months ago. The gearbox isn't right (automatic) but it is a cat n twice and cat s as you see.

i drives as it should really, it's the gearbox that needs fixed either pressure etc solonoids and proper flushing or fully rebuilt as it jerks bad cold or warm changing gear plus a couple of other bits and pieces. But knowing this has happened in the past would it put you off fixing and using it or just get rid.
Plus 12 keepers in 12-13 years my god.

OK, lets think about this.

At 5 years old it was written off with likely £8k+ repair costs.

At 8 years old it was written off with structural damage and likely £5k+ repair costs.

At 10 years old it was written off with structural damage and likely also over £3k+ repair costs.

JFAS.
What if one was front, one was rear & one was side damage?

On top of that it may well need a new gearbox and has 12 owners.

How much exactly are they going to pay you to take this lump of scrap off their hands?

ETA.
OOPS! Mis-read and didn't see you already have it!
