How much?

Can u fix it cheap?

25-05-06, 03:52 PM

Its only at £125!!!!! but its got 22 days to go...(its at a breakers/auctineers), can fix it up cheap no probs, but whats the chances its got a bent frame/forks as its a cat c write off??

Doh, I'm so slow at typing. Get a mechanic to check the frame is bent if you can see it before buying.

Worth a gamble at £125!! Sell the parts for that!!!!

Cat C doesn't mean bent frame. But what you don't see will probably get ya.

Cant see it, until you bid on it on auction day..
Ive just seen that a member on here is selling his cat d write off £700 and its sounds alot more damaged than this blue one...hmmm im not sure what to do, HELP!!

Ive got that (thank you runt!!) but im still not sure if structural damage means frame/forks???

If its awating auction is a £125 not the reserve and is the actual sale price going to be much higer than this?

As people have said the parts alone would be worth way more than that. If you can get it a £125 its an absolute bargin.

No reserve on it so buying price could go higher, esp seeing as it has 22 days left.
