Once repaired, about 2/3 of guide prices but if it's in that state after it's been repaired, not even Parkers Trade In.

as an example i paid £5000 for my focus ST170 54 plate that was a cat d it had been repaired and was imaculate with full history the normal price should be around £7500/£8000

It's worth about 1500 quid tops. Why bother?

many years ago i used to buy light damaged cars and motorbikes and either get someone to repair them and do some of the work myself it was worth doing then but i wouldnt bother now .
Theres millions of car for sale that are striaght and tidy why go to the hassle of buying it and being french i doubt anything will be cheap to replace .

OR once it's repaired there will be some nasty leccy fault somewhere too...

Agreed, why bother.

Probably one of the most unreliable cars you can find, so ye don't bother, you are in for a nasty surprise especially with all the electronics playing up.

That's pretty much spot on. Now that the S/H market is in freefall, it's just not worth it anymore. It's a shame as there's plenty of Cat C/D which require little repair to make a perfectly good runaround but it's no longer as financially beneficial as it once was and with the stigma of "write-off" on HPI checks, you have all hell on trying to sell them later.

Damaged 03 platers that require putting back on the road go for barely less than £1500 !!!!
