Civic Type R 99p


Personally that's more than what I'd be prepared to pay for a Cat D EP3, so I'd say take it and run. A friend of mine got a Cat C that needed a new wing, head lamp and bonnet for £950 three weeks back, all in all it cost him just over £1300 to get a car that's roughly in the same condition yours is in. EP3s are everywhere!
 
Well current bids just over £1k, 2 days left and been offered £1200 more than what it currently stands at, I'd take that and run very quickly!
 
Yes, but his was less than a half of what you're being offered. I appreciate that he was getting it cheap because of the "inconvenience" that dealing with the damage was, but still the car was £900 cheaper than what you're getting for yours. £2200 sounds like an offer from someone who wants one cheapish but is not willing to wait and shop around for a better deal. I'm really sorry you're not getting what you were hoping but the sad reality is that there are so many EP3s to choose from that it has to be a perfect example for someone to consider paying even half decent amount of cash for it.
 
Didn't you have it for sale on here for 2250?
Your basically getting asking price. Good money for that IMO
 
what those category types ,C ,D means? damaged and proper repaired ?
 
Cat D is minor damage usually like body work damage from a collision etc which has been repaired by an insurance company. Cat C is a little more serious damage but still been repaired, could also be written off and then bought back & repaired or something. That's why they go cheaper.
Cat B is worse again & a write off and cat A pretty much means the car was completely totalled beyond any form of repair.

Both Cat D and Cat C can be exactly the same kind of damage but Cat D means it is worth repairing whereas Cat C isn't. My 1998 EK3 was written off and declared Cat C because of a dented bumper. I'd imagine a new car with the same kind of damage would be Cat D. As soon as an old car (10+ years ) is damaged it mostly ends up being declared cat C.
If £2300 is what you were hoping for then TBH I don't see what the problem is. By leaving the auction run you might get a little bit more if you are very very lucky but equally you're risking it won't even reach £2k (much more likely outcome TBH). It's a no brainer really!
 
Over 100 watchers!

Responded accepting the offer providing a deposit is paid.

Really want to know what it could go for.....
 
Remember that if it sells through eBay(auction) you'll pay a sellers fee to them. Worth finding out what the potential costs of that could be before letting it run.
 
Ahh, that's not too bad then. I was expecting like 3-7% or something stupid.

No cat c or d cars will be repaired by insurance company's, they will sell them to salvage company's. then generally sold on to private buyers or garages and repaired, or in some cases they can be bought back directly from the insurance company
