Beware of this car

I was looking though eBay and came across this and was going to bid.

So I checked to see if it's hpi and it turns out it's a cat n. Can't figure out how to report a seller to eBay for that. So I thought I'd just give you guys a heads up if you was thinking of bidding

Have you messaged them to ask?

@mobo

Many cars are Cat N.  So what is the problem with this one?   Are you aware of repairs not haven been done correctly?

[Tech1e]

I guess as there is no mention of it on the auction? 

[Ootohere]

A Keeper / Owner might not say,

and then it can be the case they do not know because they never did a HPI or the person that sold to them never said.

[Tech1e]

Exactly, hence why I asked if the OP had messaged, might well be news to them. 

 

Its not a bad thing as long as it’s been repaired well. Cat N is non structural so no real safety concerns only that as a recorded insurance claim is against it you would expect that reflected in the price.

Yeah. I messaged then asking when the cambelt was done at first and they got back straight away saying. "Yes its been done" but not a when it was done. I messaged them back asking about the hpi and when the cambelt was done but have been ignored. 

Cat n wouldn't put me off but they are being very vague with there answers or not answering at all.
