especially in Brum, I'd not go near any with £500 let alone £16k
Buying a car from Birmingham.. Not a chance in hell
Nah, that would be Lutton!
I'd be carrying out a vcheck on it to see if it pulls up the damage details. Without seeing some pictures of why it was recorded as a Cat N, and then being able to properly check over the repair I'd steer well clear. And that's before taking into the normal gut feeling about the car regarding the tints and it's location
The lack of commas in the price of advert alone is a warning flag tbh.
Can already see from the photos the rear bumper isn't the same colour as most of the other car.
I wouldn't spend £16k on any sort of Cat N of this type. Especially not from some guy on Facebook who lives in Birmingham. Don't get me wrong, there are times where a Cat N car make sense - on cherished car that's 15 years old and worth a few grand and someone dents the door and wing on it in a car park and the insurance estimator says that it's going to cost £2000 to fix the £4000 car, when in reality, most people would just get a used door from a spare car, or find another much much more economical way of fixing it.
Apart from the bumper, it looks nice in photos, but you can make any car look nice in photos from 3 metres away. The devil is always in the detail - and normally when you start looking back the shiny out layer. I've seen so many cars that are listed as "CAT C light parking damage" and then someone posts the photo of the cars actual damage that they have found online and it's mad what they will allow to return to the road these days.
That is not 6k cheaper, I looked at a 2017 VRS at a main dealer and it was £18,500.
Facebook, Birmingham, CAT N... Just no.
As for the bumper looking a different colour, plastic bumpers always look a different colour in certain angles/lights especially in greys and silvers.
Just did a search on the approved used site and the cheapest 2017 spec vRS 245 DSG I can see is £21,495. If you found one at £18,500 that's cheap for a straight car in the current market.That is not 6k cheaper, I looked at a 2017 VRS at a main dealer and it was £18,500.
