Cat D CSL?

[Nords]

Happy for everyone to have opinions, however the proof will be in the pudding or the sale of this particular Cat D (B?). I wouldn't touch it and I imagine most others would either for the same reasons as me...

well looking at what its making your massively outnumbered as the guy says he's done 10k in it and it has'nt missed a beat.

a few inches of fresh water is'nt going to hurt a car built as well as a bm

Dave, for the water to come in through the doors, it has stood in more than a few inches for a significant amount of time (days), then stood in someone's yard for at least a week but prob more after being recovered, still wet. This will give you all sorts of problems later on and is devalued by the trade for exactly this reason. Hence it has been Cat D (I think Cat B actually, does anyone know?) rewitten off but repairable.

As for the trouble free 10K miles.......! I have to say I was expecting the owner (who is keen to sell) to say "I had it for the last 10K and it keeps cutting out, especially as I go to overtake. There is a bit of a damp smell but you get used to it, don't worry. Oh, the electrics fizz a bit and there is a burning smell but I bet that is just speeding up the car being fully dried out!" Sellers always give a full and complete list of faults don't they???

£18K and he'll be a lucky vendor. Unless the potential new owner is going to have it stripped for something like the CSL Cup by Thorney, I wish them all the best as they'll need it.

I also emphasise I'm not talking this one down because I have secret plans to buy it, it really isn't the one for me!

Doesn't matter what car it is, because as soon as it becomes cat D it will shed loads off its value and will become a limited market....but there will alsways be someone willing to take a chance for a bargain, but still think anything over 18k is too much of a risk....you pay your money...

I struggle to believe peoples cover stories when they sell cat D cars.

Just save the money and get a non recorded car!

It will be a inflated auction.. guy who is selling the CSL gets his mates to bid it up. Nobody will part with that money for a Cat D :whistle:

[Andyk]

Yes I was thinking that.
