Get a quote from your bodyshop re the panel replacements/repair/painting. That way you'll know where you are re the 'corrected price' of the 50k car.

I like the idea of the lower mileage (all but half the amount!) one TBH... so long as the panel reapirs don't break the deal, so to speak.

Thanks,
I've asked for full or part service history on the cat c wrx, but nothing.
Here's the link, i'm in Sicily so it's a case of fly over quick look and drive back........
if you've got time here's the link. Thanks

In that case forget that bloody Cat C one... Look for a straight one with similar miles and be done with it...
