Hazy Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 This was for sale the other week on a Salvage Auction site I frequent (exactly the same photos), and it went for about £950 iirc. Would've bought it myself if I had the cash at the time. Wouldn't of thought it would take much to repair it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-man-dan Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Surely this would cost a fortune to repair? Ally wings and bonnet, Gti bumper and xenon lights. All the most expensive and rare parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris c Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 normal bonnet would suffice for the time tho looked nice before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99hjhm Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Xenons dont appear smashed either?They will be. Very fragile inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 They will be. Very fragile inside.Yeah, I would be very suprised if either of them work tbhcat c so must have some chassis damageDoesnt work like that Im afraid, its just that the cost of repair exceeds the value of the vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 that would not be cheap to fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Green Giant Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 That is well worth a punt.agreed! bargain! even if you break it, youd make the money back on the seats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 nah...why would it need a vic check then?cat d's are write off's that are uneconomical to repair... most cat c's have chassis damage A Cat C is where just the cost of repair exceeds the cars value, D is where the cost of the repair and the ancillary costs exceeed the value of the car (hire car, excessively long lead times for parts etc)A VIC is a Vehicle Identity Check, and is to make sure the car isnt cloned, it has nothing to to with the repairs themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris c Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 nah...why would it need a vic check then?cat d's are write off's that are uneconomical to repair... most cat c's have chassis damage if you add up the fact the headlights are 1k the bonnet is unavailable then all the front panels all brand new genuine it can very quickly climb to 3k so its very easy to cat c one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 if you add up the fact the headlights are 1k the bonnet is unavailable then all the front panels all brand new genuine it can very quickly climb to 3k so its very easy to cat c one^this.having had a little front end bump in my sport and knowing how much all the parts would of been for that if i'd got all of them new then 3k sounds about right.the only thing this is good for it breaking...unless you're lucky enough to come across a rear end damaged or one being broken gti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Who, the insurance? Because its cheaper for them to pay out the market value of the car. Remember the Ins co will use genuine parts at authourised repairers which are expensive. So you can get it fixed cheaply, parts from here/ebay etc and mates rates on the paint, but the ins co cant do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jase Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 yeah but cat d is worth less than the original value of car to fix so surely it would be more economical then to fix for them?also will insurance pay out twice if a cat c or d were to be in another accident?
