if you buy a low miles minter with only slight damage,you could repair it with your car and sell all the good stuff from your old car,its tried and tested so it will sell. my local scrap yard just broke a complete 02 mondeo td and the fookin lots gone, the engines gone to bulgaria,the taxi lads buy mondeo stuff left right and centre.

if you do this try to buy cat d as it doesnt show on the log book where cat c does and requires a vic check at vosa.
