Default Category D write-off - to buy or not to buy decision

Some of you may have read the message yesterday on my latest car dilemma: Buying a 52 plate Focus that’s now a cat D but has been repaired.

After looking at the car twice, talking to you peeps and mates of mine I decided that I would buy it despite being a cat D

The seller was reluctant to voluntarily give out information so it’s a good job I took along my right hand man (well done Steve), I found out the extent of the damage. The car has been fixed now but it’s had ............ a new front wing, light unit, front bumper, battery box, and other engine bay fixings (not structural and suspension was not effected APPARENTLY ) Also a new windscreen and a driver side window (the car was broken into in the repair yard and had radio stolen :x ) That’s all I know but I suspect more

The car looks mint now as all repairs have been done and to me it looks perfect, Steve did check the car for me and has given it the all clear

As long as it stays all good news then i'm happy and I consider it a good buy at the moment lol I think it was worth £4,000, now I can start to think of what mods im going to do as im now an official Focus Owner

Thanks again peeps ur all stars
