Is it worth a look?

[mycerbera]

What do you think on this as a potential purchase?
£7,995 a bargain or to much?
Would it cost more to insure?
What exactlly is Cat C? Chassis damage or just body?
Your views please

Cat C is as bad as they can get and still be repaired (I think)

[Podie]

Cat C = extensive damage that the insurer decides not to repair (IIRC)

I called this guy last week as soon as I saw the advert, thought it has to be worth at least a call, Chims like that don't appear often. Spoke to the sales person there who was very honest, said that the car was a bit scruffy, needed work doing to the interior, and basically I should only consider buying it if I wanted it for a bit of summer fun and nothing else. Fair play to the chap there, he could have tried to tempt me but was completely honest

Also, had my first test drive of a 5L Chimaera on Friday. Will be buying one soon. What a car. I'm still grinning now.
