basically my old car which jeffers had after. No mention of it being a CAT D in the advert, can say running gear and engine were good when I had it. But the bodywork ain't perfect at all if you are thinking about it check the rear quarters, inner quarters and boot floor.
I wouldn't say its worth 950 at all more on the lines of £750/800 max, if anyone needs anymore pics of info/history more than happy to help. Not saying the guy is dishonest or anything just making people aware

Kind of mean really as for all we know he could have spend alot of ££££ repairing it all.

I think he's just trying to get the point across that it was a CAT D as he's not stated this on the advert?

Fair enough, local (ish) location to you as well so it would make sense.

Technically you don't have to mention it.But if a potential buyer asks,and the seller is aware,you have to tell them.
But then whose to say the seller knows??
Also iirc,cat D won't be noted on the V5.

I sincerly doubt he has spent any more on it as when I sold it to jeffers I had to spend out and fix plenty for the mot. Don't have a problem with a majority of the Ad actually just the fact I know and Jeffers knows it's a CAT D plus he told the guy on the day the swap happened.
Can get better GTis for the price but the running gear and engine are good just the shell not so good with what I think was sub par repairs on the rear panels everything with pics still on my old blog on here
