It's now been relisted on ebay for a 3rd time - each time the car has sold to a buyer on ebay and within a matter of an hour or so gets immediately relisted - still amused at the spelling / wording of the advert though - especially the parts bought from "Greyham Good Tunning" lmao

Really!?!?! i would, and sell it for £25k.

But no, i wouldnt buy this one for £18k. No way would i pay that much for a cat d car. i like it how he describes the car as 'mint' too.

i dont mind paying that money for a cat d as long as it was fixed by a dealer and the damage was not that serious to start with, but if its that one in the links above its not worth toffee..

thebigmacmoomin

Without knowing who and how well it was repaired, no I wouldnt buy it. I would always worry that it wasnt done to a high standard.

has anyone seen teh car without the plastic wrapping on it?

it might have just been a few panels and someones stolen the wheels or the like?

fuzzy

if a cars been repaired properly and the price reflects its status i wouldnt worry about the cat d.

matts1

have to say that if the repair work has been carried out well then at around the 16k mark it wouldn't be a bad buy.

I bet there are cars out there that have seen alot worse.

Wonder if anyone has acutally been out ands seen the car in the flesh.

Agreed, i think it looks worse than it is personally. Its just panel damage, at the most it may need alittle pull on the floor plan.

Rossco

Doesnt look like the rear wheel has been stolen, looks like it was removed along with the suspension with what ever the car hit.

A proper check over on a ramp should show up shoddy repair work.

knwoing how they are bolted into place, i think it'd be fairly easy to lose a hub after bouncing a kerb

my money is on the wheel and suspensoin bits and bobs having already been removed and the car being in the car park just for space in the workshop

like said im not fussed on a cat d as long as its been repaired properly at a dealer with reciepts, i have emailed the seller and hes saying its a stolen recoverd but has no paper work for the repair?

Rick Astley

Rather co-incidental both cars begin with LT, whoever taped up the rear reg plate on the crashed focus didn't take into account the unique spacing the letter 'T' gives. Couple with the fact you can see the bottom of the 'L' along with the vertical line it stinks of it not being only stolen recovered at all!

Somebody trying to pull wool over peoples eyes!
