Cat D E320CDI

[Artur]

Hi all.
I am still in search for the only one. Came across one with Cat "D". As I'm not Merc expert I need to ask you guys what might be wrong (apart from obvious visible damage) with the one attached? I mean is there any electronic devices behind headlamps and bumper which could be costly to repair?
Only 91k on the clock, price £2500
Please share you thoughts with newbie
Thank you

2004 E Class Cat D for £2500!!!!!!! I would say the price is the problem

Oh and I see a possible £1200 SBC pump as well!!

Second hand parts - max £500 - fitted by myself - even the same colour if I'm lucky = £3k for top spec with 91k miles - doesn't sound too bad to me...
Full service history with MB till 60k too

As above really. Much too dear for a Cat D.

I paid £100 less for my CL................. not Cat D, OK a fair bit of work to do on it but still.............

This is only £4500 at a dealer so a Cat D will be no where near that, way overpriced for a salvage car

Cheers guys, looks like I got too excited about it....

Thanks

As with above, that's too expensive.

You can buy a whole car with a years mot and very likely a decent service history for that kind of money.

Personally, I prefer the older model (which is why I have one) for space and reliability.

Good luck with the search...

£2,500 Cat D when repaired is a push, let alone still damaged.

Also when you sell, it will only get half (or less) what a "normal" one will fetch, and if written off in an accident your insurance co will only pay out beans for it....

Is too dear
