    Hi Folks,

    Just put a deposit on a car today and it later found out via cartell that the car had a (UK car) Class D write off.
    The car looked very clean but I did notice that one of the wings was repaired\replaced.
    I looked at the under carage on a ramp and again it looked alright.
    I couldnt see any structural damage.

    What are peoples opinions about this?
    Should I get my money back or go ahead with the purchase with a renegioated price.
    Any thoughts would be apprecaited.

    I'd get my money back as it wasn't disclosed by the seller.

    On the other hand, small damage can result in a cat D so it might not have been bad. But I'd want photos of the damage and a report about the repair before taking it further with the purchase, I'd also want a discount!

    Well that's it -
    By the looks of it only one of the panels was damaged and the seller told me that they painted a heavy scratch on the bumper and the bonnet -
