Eh?

@Prezafab I never realised it was a category car until it was too late, I wouldn't have touched it with a barge pole 

I bought a cat s repaired seat Leon a few years ago. It was about 1/2 the price of a clean one. There were no signs of the repair, it got MOT at my trusted tester before I put it on the road, who couldn't see any signs of a repair. When the v5 arrived there was nothing on it about a cat write off. I had no problems insuring it, declaring it was a cat car, and it ran perfectly for2&1/2 years with me before being sold to the fast food place where I worked. It was then abused and thrashed for 2 years and 60k with no problems until the gear box gave up. I suppose what I'm saying is if it's repaired properly and about 1/2 the price of a clean one I certainly would.

Went to see the car, pile of crap. Wasn't done to standard, parking sensors were falling out, bonnet wasn't straight, and when I asked him what's with the oil mist on the engine he said it's normal. I didn't even drive it. Gave him the keys and said good luck.

 

On the ether hand, I bought a honda CRV MK2 1 previous owner (honda themselves) with honda FHS 91000 miles , under sealed , 2.0 petrol with a K20A engine Auto. £3800.
