Made me think about this, with light damage and if it isnt a cat d or c or whatever and all works ok, would you buy a damaged car if you were going to mod it, i.e like this, put a new front bumper on (nismo), momo steering wheels, etc...?

Something not right with that car - UK one with no service history and its a 276 on a 56 plate? The seller is clearly confused about what the car is and his feedback rating ain't great

 

Bargepole job

leave well alone, it's on the register and air bags are blown , it's not cheap either

You would be well advised to get it on a bodyshop jig and check the chassis isn't bent. Professional help of some kind must surely be mandatory?

I've just done a similar thing, bought a crashed Cat C car worth c£2k for £347 and got it repaired for a couplr of hundred quid. Got it vic tested and all passed fine. However......that was on a £347 car, not over £10k on a Z and like has been said, I don't actually think that is a very good price at all bearing in mind the condition and damage.

Wouldn't go near it - the seller has a poor rating and I wouldn't trust someone who can't spell basic words properly in a public advert. But hey, I'm just old-fashioned.

No it looks like it has been hard kerbed who knows what suspension and other parts are damaged and bent.

I Agree with the rest, if it looks to good to be true, it usually is!!

 

A friend of mine had a spin in his car side airbags went off, bent steering and a bent rear wheel, insurance wrote it off as it bent the chassis, could only just tell from the gaps each side of the boot lid.

I know its a newer car and low millage but i paid considerably less that that for my fully functioning one and without the 'its been in a crash' label attached to it.
