So it's better value to get a CAT D trophy than an pristine perfect example.

What is CS becoming (tdown)

LOL, like a#%holes everyone's got a damn opinion don't they :wink:
But that last guy saying a cat d'd car is a better deal than a non scrapped one? :?

what does it matter if someone wants a repaired car? Explain

It doesn't matter, it's your money. What most on here have been saying in a round about way is that they probably wouldn't touch it.

What Hoolio says :wink: I'd rather spend more money and have a car that hasn't been written off when we're talking 8k+, for peace of mind if nothing else. No one wants to see another Renaultsport fan get stuck with a lemon and I think thats why most of us are warning against it. I can only guess the forum demographics of ClioTrophy are different from ClioSport and all us ''old folks'' are preaching caution, while the kids are saying ''jump, jump,jump' :wink:
In the end its your money, so if you go for it than good luck and I hope the car is great and problem free '

wouldnt spend 8k on it, but I was prepared to pay 6.5k tops.

With the damage STRIKE describes on CS wouldn't even consider it, any price.

 

[polarbert]

Not even a tenner? Surely it would be worth a punt at a tenner?

Just knock me off my high horse why don't you. :lol:

 

[Day]

Would pay 6k cash and 2k on a respray...

/runs

 

[Steve]

I'd buy it for 5K, come on guys, it's still going to run rings around a lot of 'sports cars' out there. Always a risk though, but isn't any car, even new 197's are going straight back with critical problems.

 

[Cue]

i'd buy it. It it didn't run right i'd break it for spares.... increases the value of the others and it's worth 3 times it's purchase value in parts.

Clearly i say things sometimes that make me look like a right tw*t but correct me if i'm wrong if the B pillars are creased it means a lot of energy has gone through the car and other stuff is going to be a bit curly and if i've learn't nothing else on here it's that a few degree's here and there make a lot of difference to the handling.

 

[Steve]

B Pillars are creased? :shock: You can move the engine block into the cabin without creasing those.

Buy it for parts, nothing else.

 

[hoolio]

Thats what strike posted on CS yesterday.

Edit; Sorry creases above the b pillars.

 

[Cue]

if the b-pillars are bent it souldn't be repaired. I was going to say cannot be repaired but nothing is impossible to repair to a similar look.... its the safty and structural integrity of the metal and the shell of the car that will never be the same.

It's like cut and shut's - from the outside they appear to be normal but you see what happens to them in a crash....... put it this way you wont be worrying about forgetting your anniversary again!

Similar to what I just posted Cue, had to put them straight about dissing our site too, how dare they? Sometimes it's hard to find a post about Clio's amongst all the shit like "How fit is Rebecca Loos?" and "Look at this shitter".

 

[Shabba]

Fit a full roll cage and take it banger racing, thats about all its worth with a compromised chassis/shell.
Or as Cue said buy it for breaking or spares.

 

[hoolio]

Got mixed feelings about this thread now, good that we now know of a duff car but at the same time it seems it's now been effectively written off a second time, i assume it will now start changing hands for silly money and get thrashed to death, sad, should have stayed written off the first time.


How many have gone now?
