Citroen C1/ Pug 107 - Higher mileage or CatD
Discussion
I'm looking to buy a C1 or a 107 from my mother-in-law to replace an organically decomposing ford KA.
We've decided the 2012 models of both (107 Allure or C1 VTR) with the DRL lights are a good idea to make sure she is seen , given she lives in a coastal place famed for the fact the majority of road users and pedestrians are pensioners. I'd rather they saw her.
These cars seem to get written off as Cat D very easily, with relatively modest damage - bumpers and bumper bars, bonnnets and wings. No structural panels they all say. A 2012 model with 8k miles can be had for under £4k while cars without such a blemished past are 20% more and have 4x the mileage.
So my dilemma is which should I buy?
I doubt it will be needed to be resold in the next 6 years, so the stigma of a Cat D is not a problem.
Anyone had any bad experinces with Cat D C1's or 107s??
