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?

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)

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.
