[Agreeable Slick]

buying a cat D motor?

I have a decision to make, a very nice, newish car but has been classed as a cat d, would you buy it? Needs jigging apparently, but can't be that major if it is classed as a cat D.

I have someone who can jig it for me, but what would you do?

no problem! get it done... its how the car stands to you!

i thnk thatif the work that needs doing isn't a problem to you then do it.. some cat D cars are cheaper.. but i do thiink thats a bit of a myth.. both my cars have been cat D

if the repair is easy and inexpensive and the person doing the repair is capable and knows what they are doing I'd go for it.  

The only sticking point you may have is when you come to sell it but seeing as you're keeping it long term it shouldn't have an adverse on its value.  As long as you have receipts for the proof of work carried out and show the person whats been done it really shouldn't pose too much of a problem.

The biggest advantage is you pick up a cheap motor

as said if the person you know that can jig it is capable then go for it, should turn out to be a bargain. What is the said car?

[>>Mart<<]

if it need jigging it may never be right and it will make weak spots in the structure and if you ever have a accident it may just disintigrate

just dont crash buddy

Resale values, and potential risk if you had a whack. If it's only you driving the car, no kids, passengers etc, then you could justify it I guess.

Do it slick as you said its only a cat D if it was to bad it would not have fallen in to that cat

as i have a good friend who does jig work i say go for it mate, i`ve seen how he repairs cars and i`d deffo think about buying a smashed car now.

I would mate,cat d is the least serious anyway iirc :smiley:and if youre getting the car a lot cheaper than if its straight then its worth it
