How can a Corsa be that much of a lemon, theres nothing complicated about them.

lol at being scared of cat c,cars are wrote off at 2/3 of their PRE accident value ie if a nova was worth £300 (in parkers etc not on png!)
Then it could ba a write off on £200 worth of WORK/PARTS which not necessarily means collossal damage.

TBH i dont bother hpi'ing anything over 5 years old, you look at it, if its straight clean etc i dont care if it has had a new tailgate or locks or someone has tried to do an insurance job on it.

Only found out a year ago mine was a cat C write off in 2000 it got written off for having a prang on the o/s front wing but no structual damage so just gos to show that they can be written off for very minor things.

build yer own one for that. and it wont be bent or nicked or raped or illegal.

Seller can't spell, car looks sh!t, is illegal and blah blah blah. Yeah, a cat C could just be a dented wing, but it also could be a complete front end bend. I wouldn't buy it, but thats me.

Same here. Seller sounds like a muppet. I wouldnt buy a car from a muppet.
