S8 V10 2008 on the HPI register accident repair CAT-D....VALUE??
 

ive seen a cat=d repaired S8 V10
2008 08 face-lift
70,000 miles
nice car
ive seen these go for £21,000 (straight cars)

WHATS THIS ONE WORTH ??? CAT-D

honest opinions please

Don't they reckon it knocks about 20-25% off non-recorded value? Could always ask your local dealer how much less they would pay as a part-ex?

Dont think any garage would take a cat-d in p/x to be honest
i was thinking a third off
ive had accident repaired cars before over the years
i reckon £13,500

I'm sure they'd take it if they could get it under-written by another dealer, but am sure the offer they made would reflect they really wouldn't want to....

I paid around 20% below for the Boxster, which is recorded Cat D.

I bought it based on condition, but having had the car for a year now, and having had to fettle and resolve a few issues, I'd say that was too much and wouldn't now want to pay any more than 30-33% below usual prices for Cat D, and personally wouldn't touch Cat C or beyond (Sorry Ainars)

i totally agree sarg..
33% defo less
and issues too,, i had those in the past with other repaired cars..:)

there are plenty of bits that have been omitted or repaired poorly. To be honest, I wouldn't buy another one, not ever.

Might keep the one I've got as a weekender, not sure yet, as seems to sell I'd have to almost give it away.

well i viewed the S8 in question today
its very nice
taking an expert tommorow to have another look

after taking a very close look and having had it inspected by an expert
im not going to bother
far too many issues with this car
