MG ZR, 5 door, x something grey, 6k mileage, 04 plate, half leathers etc etc.
normal price £7500 (straight car)
and
£5600 on V-car. (recorded damaged, cat D)
Which would u go for?
( i am asking because i have seen a damaged one. rear bumper and wing damage. would cost a total of 5100 to have it on the road. wondering if any1 would buy on V-car , thinking about this investment)
so would you go for the damaged-repaired IF you were looking at buying one (hypothetically speaking)?
Thank you for your comments.

i dont think u get me. thats just a general spec of the car. a normal one would cost 7500. i can get one all fixed for around 5100. im thinking of buying, fixing and selling for 5500 for a 400 profit. but i dont know if it would sell, with it being recorded as damaged.
i dont want to spend 5k on a car and then be stuck with it.
p.s. would it help if i was to produce photo's of how the car was damaged before. to make the potential buyer feel more comfortable. coz its not much at all.

The damaged ones always going to be worth less, as long as everyone knows that then I cant see why (so long as its been fixt correctly - maybe say something like AA / RAC inspection welcome in the ad) cant see why people would be put off a cheaper car.
