Think I remember this one from when I was looking.

That was the old advert. looked like overspray in engine bay, and almost sure it was a Cat C. Might be ok at price though, but may hide a load of issues. As always, get inspection done if interested.

 

[CatmanV2]

Ewww yes. Thanks.

cat d?? crack in lights is 1k to put right.............

Buyer beware without a doubt, but it's an AC for £9K. Worth a look with eye's wide open.

Dem, I reckon half that for a replacement boomy?

 

[Andyk]

Ah now I seem to remember that car.....Its the very shiny paint..................Surely must be worth a look and inspection at 9k open to offers.........Red just looks soooo right on these cars...

 

[alfatwo]

And just up the road from me,I might drive over and take a look....You can get a rear light lens for £350

Paint peeling on the front bumper ! Yes does look very shiny paint job, but at 9k for a AC worth a look ,is it a private sale?

 

[MAF260]

Best colour for the AC IMO. If its a decent repair then surely worth considering at that money?

It is a lovely colour on the AC

Personally I would rather have a very good standard 3200 than this AC; Copart had 22/75 a couple of years ago when it had heavy frontal and nearside damage which included a seriously deformed bonnet. I suspect that it's now a bitsa.

Caveat emptor!

That is No22 Phil, but at least it is still on the road. Maybe that's why it only appears on Gumtree, and not the usual places. Possibly less informed audience.

In the OP the bonnet shut lines look a bit on the p!ss. The drivers side look a bit slack and the pax side look a bit tight/uneven. Would need a thorough check, even at that price.

 

[dem maser]

With Phil on this

Id rather buy a good 3200 at 9k then one that needs some work and a cat c/d!!

 

[conaero]

If its been repaired well enough, £9k for an AC is a bargain.

It's hardly a heavy impact is it.

 

[Rex B]

You would need to go and inspect it with someone who knows what to look for. Although the damage does not look that bad in addition to the body panels needed there are also a lot of mechanical components in the front of a 3200, Intercoolers Oil, water and steering Rack Radiators, cooling ducts, undertrays, suspension sensors, and the impact might seem light the front of the chassis legs are designed to collapse in an accident. As Conaero says, if its been repaired correctly, and is mechanically sound them could be good value, could also if a bodge and with little known service history be a liability.

I agree Matt..It doesn't seem to bad crash wise....and at 9k its at least 10k cheaper than a good one...
