96 C4 Coupe 6500 Miles, 97 C4 Cab 57k - What are they worth?

Hi Tyinsky,

Will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads up.

I also have a Cat D 993, I knew the guy who owned the car. He was caught in a flash flood 10 years ago. The water came over the sills and the engine would not start. The main ECU was damaged. I stripped the car, replaced the damaged parts and it has been serviced and maintained by unit 11 ever since. I have had no issues with it and it's never missed a beat.
Yes there is a stigma to it for some people but it's my pride and joy, no one would know unless you told them! It's been garaged all it's life and well pampered.

I have seen some right pigs down the years at shows that have been accident repaired and hpi clear, obviously not repaired well!! I have also seen some horrendous restorations too... but each to their own.

The car is going into Porsche for a full service etc... be interesting to see what their feedback is...

Cheers and thanks again for the post 👍🏽
 
Hi Stichill99,

Yes I get the stigma...
Interestingly, you will find that these so called specialists and garages call them for what they are etc... but they would still buy them off you, bid you a ridiculous low price and then give them a spit and polish and expect fortunes for them... most would sell their own parents! I agree, that most cat D cars have been in some serious accident, however some have not.

I have a close friend who works in a well known body shop, he has repaired some cars that you would never think possible! It's amazing what a jig will do, and I suppose that would be ok. Cat N and D are not always down to the car, but also the circumstances and availability of parts etc... hence why they state, the insurer decided not to repair.

As you say, they are what they are, it is what it is... we have established those facts!
👍🏽
