Hello,
I am looking to buy a second hand car (my first car ever!), and came across a VW polo 1.4 (diesel), 2003, 106.000m. They are asking for £1600, which many people have told me that it is cheap for this type of car. I have done a history check, and what comes up is that it is a cat. c loss, VIC pass recorded 29.07.2010.
What does this mean? I know that cat c damage means it has been written off at some point, but can be repaired. Does this mean that car still needs to be repaired? Should I buy this car? And if I do would the insurance be high due being a cat c?
Please help I do not understand nothing about cars...is this a good buy?
