Cat D Cars

Im looking at getting this BMW 118i at the end of the month. Its a cat d front end damage. Anyone know what ill need to look at before i buy this? Its £1,500 with 100k miles on it and 54 reg. As most of you know im not good when it comes to mechanical side of stuff so does anyone have anything i should be looking into?

Also does anyone have a HPI checker app thats jailbroken that i dont have to pay for to check it for me? drop me a PM if so

Cheers

I dont see how your gonna fix a cat D car when your "not good when it comes to mechanical side of stuff"? Its a project rather than a new car, plus it'll cost a fortune and you'll have to go through a lot of expensive checks just to get it insured.

yea but by the time he paid for it to be fixed he will still have saved loads compared to buyin another one and i had a cat c car and its just a vic test and mot etc a think so wont be that expensive

Because with what i pay for it as michael said i can get it fixed. No checks needed for my insurer for cat d plus ill have one of the best cars in the northeast when its done nuff said really lol

Then i shall wait with baited breath... Good luck!

Well if all goes well and he still has it at the end of the month it wont take long to get it sorted and running air

my dads Focus was a Cat D with 14k on, worked out at £5k repaired compared with £11k at the time. took him about 6 months to fix, mainly panel damage and the chassis leg was slightly curled over. I say go for it!

Im gunna go for it as long as it hasnt sold by the time i get paid

Lol bet you HPI it and it comes back as a cat D

Do it mate cat d isn't that bad seems like you have an idea so run with it not like your a 17 year old who thinks he's going to put a 3 litre turbo in his corsa you know the crack with cars and probably spent a lot of time dileberating just go for it there nice motors most cars have a history even the best good luck mate
