Just this was main concern...

Was stolen recovered (no damage, not q plated) - think it was when it nearly new when this happened

Might be worth a peek then, cos haven't seen it yet, just been told bout it by the owner - someone from work.

Might try and get it for 2.5k if he desperate

Would probably only buy it to tidy up and sell on - so would this affect price much or do you think theres any profit to be made ?

Won't affect price at all IMO, no damage caused at time, nothing to worry over and DEFINATELY nothing to be concerned about!

I personally wouldn;t have a problem buying such a car, I know of a well known written off car in the RSOC when it was less than 1yr old, uses this BB too, nowt wrong with it and won't affect value
