Hi Folks In for a red 854R Manual only 78k with service history tax and MOT drive away black interior silver volans only issue with the car is that the last owner said he had the front bumper stolen in 2001 from outside is house and was too expensive to replace hence a stanard bumper he had the car since june 2000 approx 9 years for further info please conatct me on 07961505315 sensible offers over £2250 Many Thanks
Had the front bumper stolen? hmmm
Yes that's what he said!!!!!!! he didn't claim from the insurance either I found it strange myself
seen this on ebay, looks ok but its crying out for that front bumper sorting, is the car hpi clear?? P.S id mention that it hasnt got the proper front bumper on your ebay add, some people can get very shirty about that sort of thing!
linky someone???
And one dark alloy...
well spotted Dave!
changed all the alloys to anthracite and sadly was a cat d due to front bumper getting stolen
so the car is an insurance write off cat D for the bumper getting stolen..................but you said when the bumper got stolen the previous owner couldnt justify the cost of a proper 850R front bumper and so got a standard 850 front bumper instead. so if he didnt claim for a bumper through his insurer then why would the car be a cat D?? the previous owner had the car since 2000, the bumper was stolen in 2001, you say the car was recorded cat d in 1999????? i was interested in this car but something sounds really dodgy to me and im totally put off buying this car.
I Can only tell you what I was told and what i know
He means it has been in a front end smash and repaired on the cheap... That wasn't too hard was it?
[quote=MrMark;219508]He means it has been in a front end smash and repaired on the cheap... That wasn't too hard was it?[/quote] LOL There is one other very obvious problem with this "story". We're all used to how cheap these cars are now, therefore how easily they are written off. However, when that Cat D marker was placed, the car was only 3 years old. It would of taken a lot more than just a front bumper to result in a write off. In fact, the same is likely to of been true when it was 5 years old in 2001. Methinks someone is (or has previously) been telling porkie-pies.
