Anyone done this ? Is it a fools errand ?

RRS Red 2013 near me up for £28k, described as Cat D due to 'slight' drivers side damage. Not explored further as yet, just interested in your views. Cheers

If it's been repaired to a good standard, then there's no issue, at the right price. Just bear in mind, some insurers won't touch it and it will always retain its lower value.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Cheers, - my current insurer will insure it subject to a written report from AA or similar.

Think I'll call in this aft to look for myself....

As said, some insurance companies won't insure it and you will be paid out less.

For a 3 year old car to be CAT D, I wouldn't expect it to have been minor damage

£28k is seriously overpriced for a nearly 3 year old Cat D RRS

I'd steer well clear of that one, it could end up being a serious money pit. Best to look for a clean one, plenty out there  2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography

Cheers all - dealer not very forthcoming so not happening...

Normally it has to be over 50% give or take before it is written off, so looking at the value of the car, and the value of damage or repairs you have to wonder what happened, of course bodywork, and new panels will add to the original repair bill quickly, even fully restored to the highest standard, you are likely to encounter all the concerns you have now,Mitch others when you come to move on to your next vehicle.

I guess the phrase "buyer beware" applies to more than just auctions....
