jamesmark Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Break it, with prices they are just now you can get a "un repaired version" for what your asking (and that's the reduced price) you will be lucky to get £1.5k-£2k you will get a lot more breaking it.

He'll never get 3750 if people post that its not worth it, why not let buyers decide and PM him if you feel that strongly, its not like he's asked for valuations... Bit late now tho - good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjodrell Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Cat D Registered? i would suggesting halving that figure Cat D on a new car = BAD NEWS Cat D on an old car could be due to VERY minor yet auite expensive damage. A Supra of this age would become a cat D if somebody scratched the bonnet doors and roof , as the respray costs make the car an uneconomical write off..... A newer more valuable car would simply be repaired, end of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Supra of this age would become a cat D if somebody scratched the bonnet doors and roof , as the respray costs make the car an uneconomical write off..... A newer more valuable car would simply be repaired, end of I agree! I've used to work for a company who bought either cat-d or sometimes cat-c cars and we repaired them and sold them on. Some of the cat-d cars had only very slight cosmetic damage and with having been in the trade it has never put me off purchasing a car that was previously damaged. (Quality of work depending!!!)

marbleapple Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Cat D on a new car = BAD NEWS Cat D on an old car could be due to VERY minor yet auite expensive damage. end of As a buyer though, Cat D suggests 'Damage' and makes you think of the worse case scenario irrespective of whether this is the case. For the money you can buy a similar car which is not Cat D. - Again though it is a lovely looking car and I wish the seller well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sito2 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 thank you for all replies good or bad...... i bought the car off of a friend and he told me straight away about the cat d, i would have found it very hard to spot to be honest, i felt it was better to be honest to every one as the car is fantastic and very straight and all i can tell is that the front and rear bumpers have been removed to repaired or replaced sometime in its life and the drivers door lock does not operate with the key. when i was younger,i have bought a few cat d cars and had them repaired the majority were minor bumper or paint damage maybe "glasgow bhoy" can enlighten me to what the damage was to this car. thanks simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glasgow_bhoy Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 The damage to this car was very light, it was the rear quarter panel and new front bumper thats it. (Lost teh back end on a roundabout) When I bought the car I even contacted the previous owner who let me know that the damage was very minor, he was not surprised to see it back on the road. The reason it was resprayed completely was there were a few dings parking etc that needed seeing to. So to do a good job the guy I bought it from completely resprayed the whole car. This car is absolutely flawless really, I understand that many people would look at it being a cat D and trying to stay away. The only reason I sold it was I bought an R33 Skyline Stage 1 conversion, I couldn't afford bith of them. Otherwise it would still be on my drive The engine in this car is absolutely mint, we even replaced the common problem of the starter motor. So really buying this car for anyone is going to be trouble free.... Go and test drive it you wont be dissapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jarl Ayari Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 This does seem to be expensive. I have just bought after looking around for quite a while a mint unmodified SZ NA 1995 car with just 57000 miles and fresh mot for just 3k. You should be looking at about 2000 to 2250 Andi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
