Green 20vt on Auto trader (2nd from top if the link below works.) Damaged on a test drive apparently
For sale for £1695. He claims that's a £300 repair.... True cost of repair?
Looks quite nice apart from the damage.

£300?? i'm no expert but he won't even get a decent bonnet for that, although the wing can be sourced from carlt for about £20 or so. then to get them painted and fitted, maybe another £300? my guess (uneducated though it may be) would be nearer £750 all in than £300.....

I wouild have thought that would cost more that 300 quid to do right. It's damaged the side of the bonnet which is double skinned and may have put it out of alignment. Then there's the bumper too which might have moved, and painting would have to be well done to blend in \:\(

Other than that though it does look a nice car \:\)

If someone could get that for £1500 and its a genuine car then I would say that the car is a good price. the interior looks clean from the pictures. If it really does have a full service history with all the jobs done then its not that bad a price.

New pui bumper (or similar) off auto-ds and a green bonnet and it would be fine.
