H reg 325i motorsport for sale

[blingsta]

Guys, i need advise, i know someone who is selling a h plate 325i motorsport in dolphin grey, the car is in nearly mint condition with just over 100k miles, the only thing is that the car was recorded as a cat c write off in 2002.. car drives faultlessly and has been fixed to its best standard... is it worth buying? its up for 3k

[tylerma]

it wont be a motorsport if its dolphin grey mate
(unless its been resprayed a different colour)

[blingsta]

chasis check has been done by bmw who confirm it is, the plate in the bonnet says serbin grey or somin like that!

[tylerma]

sebring grey is an official motorsport colour
but in your first post you said dolphin

[blingsta]

yeah i know mate, my fault.. it is sebring grey

[blingsta]

so can anyone tell me if its worth the 3k he's asking?

You may have big problems ever selling it on, if you wish to keep it and chuck money at it like everyone else seem's to do then get a deal on going.

Use the dodgy history to get the price down.

Sounds good.

Having said that, I walked away from one last year for Ԛ£3,500.

You pay's your money, you make your choice.

Good luck Gareth.

This is cheap for a mint motorsport, but as said that history is offputting. If you like it i would go for it, and get that price down on the cat c write off issue.

Cat C is the code insurers use for repairable, check where the car was repaired and what damage it sustained this category usually means light accident damage with no chassis or structural damage to load bearing points on the vehicle. This usually means it either sustained light panel damage/ wing/door/lights or it may have been stolen recovered with lock damage check out what it was before parting with your cash and that he has some sort of documentation from a vehicle testing station or similar to say that all repairs have been carried out properly if he has this then a cat c car is usually a good buy but it should be reflected in the price you pay that it has been written off .

where is this car based, up north?

[blingsta]

cars in enfield.. still for sale..

[bigdek]

i would buy it .

nothing wrong with buying a cat c if its repaired properly.

dont think it would be hard to sell again either

just my opinion though

[gazm3]

I would stay well away.

I will take a look at it as close to me got any details andwhen can be viewed...cheers...chassis number would be useful also

An E30 recorded cat C in 2002 is likely to have been only very lightly damaged. Little more than cosmetic.
Saw a genuine sport a few weeks ago that needed little more than a wing, bumper, headlamp and front panel, but it was cat B (break only).
