Was going to view this this morning v3 type r even though it would max out my bank account.
But its a cat c

Just thought id share so others didnt pay the hpi money I did. Not that it was a lot, but every little helps

 

Where's it advertised ??

 

Pistonheads

Cant get the link as im on my phone.

A shame as it did look clean from the pics

I think cat c is chassis damage so its not for me.

 

that'll be this one then http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...xperiment=true

Too cheap!

 

Interesting, there may still be a deal to be had here depending on what the damage was and the quality of repair as it is cheap and it doesn't sound like the price is firm.

The problem is a good type R is a sensible buy at the moment as the right car will most likely be depreciation free, but unfortunately this one will always be a hard sell. However as a base for a track car or someone who's after a deal now rather than a result on resale this would be worth further investigation!

 

Did you notify the seller its on the register ?
What did he say ?

 

He's now lowered price even more as he's 'found out today' that it's recorded as cat c

 

And he's open to offers, cheap at 3 grand in my opinion even being on the register.

 

I reckon it can be had for just under 3k if you 'work it'
Ideal track toy.

 

Yep you're probably right, bloody cheap motor if it comes in the 2's.

Must resist.. ..........want..........RA...........

 

I bet another decent/bargain ra won't come up for fooking ages now
And I'll beat you to it

 

I've got my eye on two others, waiting to hear back on details.... and best bit, they haven't been advertised

 

Lol, just pulling yer pisser.

Well I think that the word gets/got around that you're after one so no surprise.
Good luck.

 

That's from my neck of the woods but cant say i know it...

 

 

At 3k that's a bargain. Decent amount in it for parts if nothing else. OP it may be worth going to look afterall!

Matty I'm sure you'll find one, didn't think that WRX was much of a bargain tbh, not with zero history and that oil leak.

 

Agree, I don't think it was the bargain everyone made out it was. It was the right money imo.

 

No mention of the 3rd gear on its way out aswell

 

The plot thickens

You been to see it Kas ?

 

I havent but matey did, car was not as described at all, gearbox sounds like a PPG apparently lol

 

Lol oh dear, we are talking about the Type R here and not that RA right?

 

Cheers, was going to see it today (5 Hour round trip minimum)

I wouldn't have been to bothered if it was CAT C and no chassis damage at that price.

He told me 3rd gear was just a bit syncro mesh crunchy

Oh well, better to have found out now than later.

 

Lol nice!! What were the other bits that weren't as described? To be fair we all know the 5 speed gearboxes can be a weak point so not necessarily a bad thing buying one with a tired box and getting a deal than buying one that's OK but lets go a few months later..

If there isn't anything else seriously wrong it still maybe worth a cheeky offer, say 2.5k, and future proof it with a 6 speed straight away or break it!

 

If it comes at 2.5K its still a cheap car even with a broken box.
