Y reg
70k
silver
4 owners
100% clean as anything inside
99% clean on outside
had recorded damage just over a year ago, fixed with a lot of recipts. VIC checked and recorded on log book.
Only thing is the guy says it pulls a bit to one side when driven.
Had bump on front end, new wing/lamp/bumber (no fog lights tho) but looks good to me.
Whats worst case senario (sp) ? Can all cars be jigged? Do panels need to come off for it to be done? Might just be tracking out?
Has air con, traction, cruise, 4x CD, black sport interior etc
might take the risk and if its scrap just split it for bits?

cat C isnt really all that bad imo, 70k isnt too high either...and fro 1400 its alot of car realy !
sports go for 1800 still with 60k on the clock and you never no the history of the car really unless its new. the man selling it has been honest to tell you the issue's too
 buy it

first thing you would do is get the car aligned
then if that doesnt work check all the suspension components for damaged etc
if then it needs benched then its a case os stripping the car out, utting it on a bench and measuring it and pulling where required
one check you could do would be to measure from the back of the tyre to the arch on each side too see if the wheel are back ( on the damaged side)

Yes i would take the risk mate.
Not alot of money and yes all cars can be jigged.
If it has bills for where it was repaired then just take it back an ask them about it, just tell them it pulls to one side.
100% worth the risk mate. I would bet one of the Corsa C boys would buy the engine for £1k.......
