My fabia is cat d and to look at it you can't tell I genuinely don't know what damage it has had and I've had it on ramps working on it loads of times but I tried to sell it last year and no one would touch it with a barge pole or offered seriously stupid money. In the end I kept it and gave it to the wife, I would buy another cat d in a heartbeat (if it looks ok like this Sierra) but I'd never buy one in the hope I'd get good money back. Unfortunately it probably is worth more in bits as I bet 99% of people won't buy a cat d let alone a cat d cosworth. £8k is a lot of money I'd just be very careful it's more than I'd like to gamble with. How much would it be worth if it wasn't accident recorded?
