Hi people I'm a 19 y/o student and currently drive a 1978 Triumph Spitfire with I've been restoring for about a year, I'm now looking for a more practical motor as I commute a bit, was looking into a 306 but I've heard about a VW Polo someone is selling, I'm into the whole European/German styling thing with deep dish 15's, very low etc. Anyway my main priority is initially price as a lot of money has gone into my spitfire and this would be a 2nd car so obviously running 2 motors is expensive, someone has told me about the car I'm seeing it tomorrow:
1995 L or M reg, 1.3 CL, it's got a kit and 16's, through my cousin he'll take £600, thing is it's been written off in the past but all damage has been sorted, what you reckon? More details when I get them.

Category D
The least damage suffered of the four categories e.g. vehicles replaced under 'new for old' schemes, vehicles written-off to minimise hire charges.
The vehicle can be safely and economically repaired either by the insurer / motor trade or by an enthusiast using cheaper parts and reduced labour costs
Category C
Substantial damage, but repairable by an repairer or enthusiast.
The vehicle can be safely and economically repaired either by the insurer / motor trade or by an enthusiast using cheaper parts and reduced labour costs. The PAV (Pre Accident Value) exceeds £2,000 (£1,000 for motorcycles) and the engineer's assessed repair costs exceed the PAV.
Category B
Heavy damage e.g. bent chassis
The vehicle cannot be safely and economically repaired either by the insurer / motor trade or by an enthusiast using cheaper parts and reduced labour costs. However, the vehicle contains economically salvageable parts.
Category A
A 'total loss' e.g. burn-out. The only value is the scrap metal.
The vehicle cannot be safely and economically repaired either by the insurer / motor trade or by an enthusiast using cheaper parts and reduced labour costs and there are no economically salvageable parts
