Im thinking about getting rid of the puma as its not practical for me any more, and i have seen a ford ranger xlt pickup that i like, but it says on the ad its a cat d, but does not say why.

is there any way of finding out why it was classed cat d before going to view it etc or is HPI the only way?

also i dont think the cat d is reflected in the price, so i want to use it as a bargaining point lol

also, if anyone can do me hpi, please pm me

cheers all

If the seller is openly saying its cat d, then they obviously do think its already reflected in the price.

Its still 3.5k tho for an 02 ranger XLT with 120k miles.

was gonna offer 2.5k lol and go from there.

worth a try, but not many people come down a 1/3rd, especially if its a trader.

what model is it?
a 2002/52 XLT double cab on that milage retails at £3625 so realisticly that needs to be £2800 tops

its this one, so it is a ltd edition

hpi says its been in an accident and thus repaired.

retail comes up as £3225 but they don't list the special edtion models before 2005.

with the history i'd say thats still around the £2800 mark.

There is no way to tell why a car has been wrote off unless you buy it damaged.

actually someone has hpi'd it for me and said it was accident damage. was put on a cat d and sold as salvage. so someone else has repaired it and its now back on the road as the insurance company did not.

could have been flood fire etc, rangers dont take damage to the wheels well at all either.

Seems a lot of money for a old ranger though, just a bit more cash and you could get a LOT newer ranger then that
