golf ed30 (cat d question)

[Jayy26]

HI,im sure most people have seen the golf ed30 im on about but what are peoples views on cat d cars? baring in mind i would be to keep the car for a few years hopefully

Its on 56k and he wants 9k originally but managed to get him down to 8k i hope what are these worth?

Depends on the damage.  Ive seen some cars with very light damage and been a cat D. I personally wouldn't mind a cat d if the damage was light.  Just stay away from a cat C. I had a polo cat c once and it was falling apart!

My opinion is that you get the car for good money when u purchase it but when it's time to sell it be VERY hard to sell on..

There was an ed30 with 69k for £8.7k not Cat D in great nick the other day, I know which I'd prefer...

You need a VERY good price to make it worth the hassle later on.  £8k isn't even a good price.

Just don't do it unless your willing to wait months to sell it and willing to accept silly cheap money. Save some more money and get a high spec GTI or a good condition Eddy that's got a few miles on the clock.

End of the day catD is catD so u won't even get half the money back

Don't do it , Cat D puts off 99% of buyers .

Spend the money on a good one , it will remain Cat D forever , or try to get them to get it inspected and removed , costs them quite a bit though .

£8k for a 56 reg cat D is a joke more like £7k or less really there some edition 30 on eBay at minute for £9k mark

i know ive read and read forums about it :/ and im without a car at the moment so when i get back off holiday in a week i need a car i was just gonna get a gti but then people say to save for an eddy..ive only got around 8k and at very push and thats borrowing abit off money..

I just cant be bothered with going down the route off buying a gti and then selling that and losing money and having to save more to get an eddy..

i would happily but a gti and replace the turbo with a ko4,s3 injectors etc etc but then this is why people say buy and eddy but im sure you can do it plenty cheaper :)

sorry about being long winded and thanks for the input

This was the car http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-GTI-EDITION30-DSG-230-SA-WHITE-/251311801233?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a8359c391

You actually selling yours?

thanks

Defo opt eddy but don't go rushing to buy just any car. cat d puts of most buyers look on pistonheads, autotrader, eBay, gumtree, google edition 30 for sale as well I waited near on a year to find mine there out there just got be willing to wait. You may need a car but are you willing to waste £8k on the wrong car. Doesn't even explain why car cat d in advert

this was his reply.. Hi there. Mileage is 57567. It's was damages on the front passenger corner. It was my mates car. I brought it off him. He fixed it. The car is mint. I'm not just saying it. Come and have a look. Or ring me. Thanks Nathan

There so much more though and i dont have that type off money :/

and ive been looking for over a year ha but then wrote my audi a3 off couple off weeks ago so thats knocked 2grand out my pocket :/

All off the eddys i have seen are dsg aswell :/

Patients mate lol it looks nice yes there is an 08 black one lower miles better condition for less money on cat d. Got to scan everywhere and find the right car not buy it cause need a car. Honest mate worth the wait unless you can get it for £7k ;-)
