I don't know of the car but from the amount of condensation in that car (given the car has been probably sitting too) there might be a leak somewhere...

[Targarama]

No, but its pretty expensive considering it needs a respray and probably lots of attention to the interior. One wonders what the rest is like underneath. I hope someone saves it, but not at that price IMHO.

Does look massively over-priced. Massively.

Tread with caution, I knew the guy who did my Cat D repair, it was his show car, although most of the work was done and painted, numerous other niggles have resulted in detail finishes that have taken a few quid, not least the parts needed to repair the aircon damaged on similar impact repair.

It's surprising how the detail stuff mounts up, if you can find the parts, never mind the paint as I would expect the entire car would need doing to look straight.

In my opinions that's overpriced as I paid 16k for my finished 350 due to cat D, which doesn't bother me one bit.

Saw the car the other day at Ashington, requires New A/c rad, New cooling rad, coolant pipes, A/C pipes back to the dryer, all the front lights & lenses , off side suspension needed a couple of items which I was told would be sorted, a new front wheel, the car then needs preping & primming, & painting, the rear diffuser was repaired & needs painting.

Inside the car is tidy, a good clean to make like new, However its been sat outside in all the snow, so I cant comment on any other problems that could show up?

Price I recon to fix to mint £4k £1400 parts & new wheel, Prep & prime £800

Full respray £1800 Thats MHOP so it comes in at over 19k.

Buy a un bent one for less 17k to 19k for a 03 04 year. 05 are 20 ishk

Thanks all and a wide birth given unless the price drops to £10-12k ish then?

i see this car has snow been "fully repainted" whatever that means,with a new drive away price of £16,999.no mention of anything else being done,as mentioned above by samantha,no new pictures either.might be worth a look if you could knock him down to £15k.im tempted,but its a bit of a trek for me.

I saw it on Thursday morning still being preped for painting, final bit of stopper, Final rubdown & I guess he has had it painted now,

The car looks in very nice condition the repair looks to be well done, IMOP

There was a red cat D T350t on ebay a 2006 fully sorted & painted with 7000 miles it fetched £14,600 which was a fair price for a 56 plate.
