RegLetter= He wants Kuro and wont spend more than £10k - anyone? p.s. he asked me a question on servicing and I am ashamed to admit I havent a clue on this one - do we have timing/cam belts and when do they need replacing? I was under the impression it was chain driven, not belt, but same question applies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The Z is chain driven so should last forever. That Kuro looks like a cracking deal for someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dene8 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I have emailed seller offering him £11k cash tomorrow He wants Kuro and wont spend more than £10k Contradiction FTW Good luck finding him one bud, whats he upgrading from.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunGodRA Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hes not upgrading from anything special - he just loves my car and is having a midlife crisis as I did when I bought mine LOL anyway - founds another! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-350z-GT-st ... 1|294%3A50 My friend has spoken to the seller who bought it as a CAT C water damaged car, and was expecting there to be engine damage as water go in to air instake etc and was expecting to have to do an engine rebuild - however this was not necessay and has been on road and running fine since April. Seller said he would take £11k for this - which is a good price for car and mileage - but the CAT C worries me. Does CAT C have that much of an impact on resale value (bare in mind cat c is non structural damage) Any thoughts/comments I can pass onto my mate?

SunGodRA Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Who said cat c was non structual damage Its what I was led to believe - panel and paint damage etc, but subframe chasis undamaged - anyway this car is water only damage etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunGodRA Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 further to - found these defenitions: Car Salvage Insurance Categories All vehicles defined as Motor Salvage are given an insurance category, these help to define exactly what sort of damage has been inflicted on the car and also what it can be used for afterwards. The salvage categories are: Category A A vehicle that has been written-off and which must be completely destroyed. It cannot be used for dismantling into its parts . Notification of Destruction required. (To be crushed). Recorded at DVLA & HPI Category B A vehicle that has been written-off but where it's parts may be re-used. However, the body shell cannot be re-used and must be destroyed. Notification of Destruction required. (Parts can be removed and sold). Recorded at DVLA & HPI Category C An insurance write-off mainly due to the cost of repair would be greated than the value of the car. It is suitable to repair to make it roadworthy. Can be sold for repair but must now have VIC inspection. Recorded at DVLA & HPI. Category D An insurance write-off for other reasons as the repair costs may be less than the value of the vehicle. It is suitable to repair to make it roadworthy. Recorded with HPI. Category X A vehicle which is not listed as being damaged on the HPI register, or one which may have very little damage. Often these are vehicles that have been stolen and then recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 For that car to be labelled as a cat C then the seller must be hiding something. You can have a car on a cat C without body damage, ie water damage. But to say it was cat C due to water in the engine, and then find that it wasn't the case, it should have been re-categorised or cleared altogether. If i was buying this i'd want to know what happened, and the dealer who checked it over so i could investigate further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 get an HPI check on it, regardless of what caused it if it shows a Cat C then it can't be sold at the same price of an equal car not on a Cat C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
