Dont worry about it being a cat C/D recorded car , you should really consider the quality of its repair and overall condition before anything else.
Ive purchased many damaged cars in the past and paid for them to be repaired myself, usually saving a fortune over buying the same specced and condition car elsewhere. Selling one on afterwards can be a little slow but ive never had anyone come to look at a car thats recorded and not buy it, all because of its condition and repair quality.
My 944 has come from a salvage auction and is recorded cat C, however it only cost me £320 after auction fees and paying for it to be delivered!
As i dont need to have it on the road straight away i can look around for parts at my leisure and already have a pair of wings (only needed one but had to get them at £46 the pair). It does always take a while to get a car back on the road because of the odd part you might find hard to get hold of but thats half the fun, hunting for a bargain!
Claire do you have any pics of the damage before it was repaired or bills/recipts of the work carried out?
They always help to sell a damaged car on as the buyer can see for themselves what the damage was and what has been done to repair it.
Also do you have paperwork you get to say its been vic tested (all cat C cars need this check before being allowed back on the road, and check the chassis numbers to make sure its the car you say it is).
Yes i do have photo`s of the damage before and after and you wouldn`t know it`s been done apart from yes it looks very shiny and people at shows i take it too say has it been resprayed.
