Burgundy Coupé on Ebay T763 WEU - 23/06/2016 22:51
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-FIAT-COUP...N-/322166084209This car may be a bargain but beware and give it a good check over as the car was a CAT D insurance write off in March 2014. Seller is aware but does not feel the need to disclose other than referencing a VOSA document in the condition section.
Draw your own conclusion.

That's really good heads up for potential buyers like myself.
Thanks Bockers

I sent the seller a message asking "Don't you think you should mention it's registered as cat d?
He sent me a blank reply!

I did the same and got a reply saying this:
"I don't think when you look at the definition of a write off we talking the same language ? Age related damage due uneconomical repair costs? Even a bumper painting stripping and rebuilding would outweigh its 50% value."
If it was age related you wouldn't claim on your insurance. Must have been some collision. Looks like he is a trader so has to state it is a write off.

Auction finished for the at just over £1400. Wonder if the buyer was aware of the cat D.

This just got relisted again. Now with the addition of a moan about a time waster. Guess seller should really mention the car is cat d in the listing!

'RELISTED DUE TO AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT WHO HAS WASTED 10 DAYS OF MY PALS TIME : redsquash-uk'
seems a bit harsh when he probably rejected it for good reason.

A complete turn-off statement for any would-be buyer

Shame he didn't do it sooner. Maybe he would have avoided wasting 10 days of his mates time.

Nah, that was the bloke after me. This car has sold at least 3 times on ebay with buyers dropping out. Must be a reason.

I would imagine that the fact that he hides who bids / buys his cars might have something to do with it. Bit of shill bidding going on? I'm amazed there have been so many bids this time round on it.
