Cat D GranSport

[leeq61]

Just been doing my usual Ebay browsing and come across this Cat D Gransport - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304260016162?hash=item46d74f6822:g:jiQAAOSwJPBhs1ZV

Im not one for Cat D vehicles but this could be a good project for someone. Is it know to the forum?

Yes, has been discussed on here already this past week or so. Thoughts are it was Cat-D because of past hydrolock so new engine from Shiltech after the event.

That type of write off is not really that bad and is a bargain for a buyer who wants to drive it a lot.

Just have to accept that it will never have the same resale value.

The leaking heater matrix, wheel sensor and lack of MoT is the beginning.
Probable clutch and subframe is where it might end.

The thing is it’s not cheap enough, when a well looked after but high mileage blue one on here is three grand more.

I agree….We know the high mile one is well looked after and probably wants for nothing. I know which one I would buy. That three grand over the blue one could disappear in a second in a car with issues.

My comment was pertaining to the Cat D perspective.
