Going to a damaged repairable car auction in Featherstone this morning. Do you think this Mini Cooper S is worth a punt? ![](http://www.agwauction.co.uk/vehicleimage/lrg/4513412.jpg)

you have to ask yourself - if the owner thought it was worth repairing then he owuld have done it himself - so seeing as he's got rid of it maybe it will cost a lot to do up? Sorry, don't mean to piss on your parade or anything and I don't know much about cars, but that would be my concern ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

The dearest part is replacing the airbags all the rest is cosmetic.
Buy it for 7k . 1.5k max will get it back on the road.
So it stands me at 8.5k.
Its 12 month old with 10k on the clock on the forecourt at 11k.

The insurance will have written it off. But it is what is known as a Cat D. Which means it can be sold on. It appears on the log book as a damaged repaired vehicle. But as I would be keeping it , it doesn't really matter.

Its 12 month old with 10k on the clock on the forecourt at 11k. fair play thats not too bad, have you seen what the other side looks like too? cause i recon that rear left is a new pannel and the front corner of the bonnet looks......not rite. might be cosmetic but it can seriously add up if your mate cant do re sprays an all that. how much will the airbags be?
