the seller wrote thats HPI "D" marked for vandalism without Body or Daschbord damage.


If anyone knows something, please wrote

thx a lot

Panel damage due to vandalism. Not sure the extent as no pictures have surfaced on the damage before it was fixed.

Worth a punt at £9k.

Think a couple of people went to see it on here, Think they said the cars well dodgy,

How do you know it was vandalism? Could have been in a serious smash

Personally I wouldnt touch it its not cheap enough. Not when people are struggling to sell very clean oc club examples for 10/11k mark. Put another grand in and dont take the risk. Just my opinion.

Cozzy 481 is spot on. Cat D's can be a real buggar to sell on afterwards and it's still £1-1.5k too dear for a Cat D (assuming of course it was vandalism). The other question is always how do you know it was repaired to a high standard- is it still under garage warranty- if rust bubbles through after you buy it or the paint fades badly its going to be your problem.

Having re-read the advert it claims there was no panel damage. Why has it been recorded then? I thought a Cat D occurred when the damage exceeded 60% of the value of the car. That would have meant £6-7k worth of damage- stolen recovered is Cat D as well. One last thing to remember is that some insurers won't provide cover on a Cat D.

i had found it at pistonheads.com

okay...

my problem is, i cant visit the car soon...

i must find a good one at inet.. thrust the seller, then book a flight and show the car really.

if positive .. i take it...

if not.. i go

...

i think i put an search inserate at the forum here

if someone want to sell his wr1 with a max 60K Miles and round abaout 9500 GBP ... tell me

Yes keep an eye open on here, this is where you will be most likely to find one with a history that is able to be checked and where you are most likely to find a decent honest car.
It's a long way to come and a lot of expense to risk on a private sale in a dodgy add.

i know...

otherwise i are looking for an my05 sti

its so strange ... in GB the cars cost less than the half like here...

in germany i cant buy one... too expensive (bad used condition ~ 20.000€)

Will you not have to pay import tax on the vehicle if you haven't owned it for a period of time? Not sure of the EU rules on this now....
