Looking for a 3 series convertable. What do people think of this one? Should I keep away from it?

Cat D is the lowest type of insurance write off could have been very light panel damage, stolen recoverd etc imo nothing at all to worry about just ask the seller what its on the list for it will only be something minor ive owned and repaired a few cat D cars.

As said, and driving a cat d now, that has NOT been repaired as only a dent!!
These are the biggest bargains, but as with everything check carefully.
No VIC check no MOT(unless expired).

Surely the damage cant be that 'minor' if its on an expensive car like that. Must have had to be around £10k of damage for it to be wrote off? Hardly minor is this is the case?
I understand that on cheaper older cars a £1000 car could be written off for something as 'minor' as a dent or scrape, but surely not an expensive car.

i was looking at a cat d focus st the other week,2 yrs old,it only needed a wing/bumper and wheel,i thought surely no insurance company would right that off,then i thought i wonder if it was caught up in all the floods last yr? hence the real reason it was written off?

bumper and wings on a st mondeo is enough to make it a cat d, as i found out the other week the parts that go to making up the front end are a good few quid, plus the labour intenside bit of painting everything and stripping and removal etc it soon starts to rack up
there are 25 different parts that make up the front bumper and wings, plus all the trim fittings and it soon adds up

I've never informed the insurers it was a cat d , and have been paid out on two of them, kept all the evidence of repairs though, and BOTH were inspected by insurers prior to payout.
