Why is it too good to be true? The M version is only 40k brand new.

Cheap to buy, cheap to sell on again, so not really a bargain unless to plan to keep it forever.

Doesn't it look like a GT6 from the rear? And that dash is straight out of a 70s Daf or Renault.

Oh, DCi Gene Hunt just arrived to spin me drum...

It's Cat D, so it'll lose a proportion of value on resale commensurate with that fact.

Bargain for someone, if they plan to keep it as Nick says.

Can't see why this would be a scam, it's a specialist reseller of Cat D cars, it's priced accordingly.

Wonder if the warranty would be affected - big disclaimer on the sellers web site which I can't be bothered to read. Shouldn't be though ...

I actually think that's expensive for a Cat D, damage or no damage. Just think about resale time.
