'Very light damage' ..... Although not massive it still needs a complete front end and airbag, not what I would call 'very light'.

Passenger airbag out too... surely this requires a whole new dash, cos the passenger side bag rips a hole in the dash.

£15.5k and all that damage :sick:

Re-spray on parts alone would cost £1k

It looks like a basic spec 3dr, so would only be £18k max if mint.

Not worth it at all!!

got to agree thats well dear for a front end damaged car, I am £1.3k for 2 door panels and spraying and labour.
why hasn't the car gone thru its insurer? plus what did it hit could have damaged chasis.

Front subrame is creased where the air intake would be, plus all the ancillaries and plumbing needs to be replaced. There is at least £4k of work there. Worth about £10k as salvage

It will show 0 previous owners on the log book if its still registered by the first owner.

Obviously had to many cups of coffee when he wrote the listing :grin:  The whole thing just sounds odd. Why would you have to apply for the log book??

The whole thing just sounds odd.

Looking at the location and the people in the pics, you'd be advised to stay well away.

think the log book thing may be ok, we need to find the reg number, so we can warn potential new buyers  :wink:

He'd probably be more likely to get the money he wants by breaking it rather than selling it as it is.

Thats the concern - being sold on as a undamaged car

Theres too much in this to worry about... Its an 07 reg (why is it being advertised now?)
No logbook (v5)... surely they could easily apply for the logbook themselves (why can't/won't they?)
Unrecorded damage, fair enough getting things fixed without going through insurance is understandable but the amount of damage (that could be) on that would write it off and potentially unsafe to fix.
Light and easy to repair damage, why not repair themselves if its that light and easy?

 :rolleyes:

Looks to me like a can of worms
