Cat d escos

[Simon T]

Cars with markers against them can be difficult to sell on, but if you don't plan on selling to make a few ££££ then could be a cheaper way into ownership.

I have been looking for a Z3M coupe and they are on average 35k but there is a cat D for 17k, doesnt look a bad car

In my opinion Cat D motors are fine as long as you have some photo evidence of what damage was done.
I brought a Cat D Audi A3 TDI years ago at 75% of full market value, had pictures of the light front end it had (bumper, light and rads) it was repaired to a good standard and was a really good car for years, sold on for again 75% of market value at the time.
If your getting it repainted when you strip it down you will most probably be able to see the extent of the damage

It's my fathers car & we were wondering what it would be worth. Not advertised at the moment & he is still in 2 minds whether or not to sell.

That cars a Cat B is it not if it’s the one am thinking off not a cat D

[PYE WHITE]

I was informed last week that the car was a Cat B, not a Cat D so I guess he will be keeping it.

Whens he breaking it ?

Can I hijack this slighly and see what people's thoughts are on a Q? As some of you know I'm on with a bare shell build. Should be a nice finish when complete with mostly new or refurbed parts. I have no intention of selling but wondered what it might be worth? That's as a car and not in bits by the way...

it's a 93 BT down as a Escort RS Cosworth on the v5. Zero damage or rust repair carried out to the shell. It's been looked after.

Q might be worth less than a CAT car as it's likely to have a dubious history (usually when the manufacture date can't be determined), hard to tell unless you try and sell. Insurance companies don't like Q plate cars, so you might have to find a specialist.
