just done check and it has been cat d  write off  whats this mean    thanks

It means it worth nowhere near £970 for a start. If the seller knew he should have told you,as cars which have been an insurance loss will go through life having a lower value than those which dont,If your paying top whack for a car (which you certainly are) then It would have been better to have done the checks before commiting to buy.
If I were in your position I would either inform the seller of what you have found out and tell him your no longer interested,or offer him a max. of £500.
If you end up not buying the car,keep an eye on ebay to see if it gets relisted.If the cat D problem isnt mentioned in the relisting,report the seller to ebay for deiliberately misdescribing the car.

thanks for your help    think i will tell him i dont want it ; what else isn't he telling me  .

[MrMoffat]

Why has the listing been withdrawn  normally they still appear when sold 

[albitz]

Probably a wise decision. Ebay can be a minefield when buying cars.Particularily if your new to that type of car.
Have you had a look in the for sale secion here ? There could be something of interest in there.

[albitz]

Ive just had a look and there doesnt seem to be any facelift cars for sale at the moment,which is unusual. It might pay to be patient and wait a while for the right car. You can get a nice Omega for £1000 if you take your time and do your homework.

 thanks.  after a face lift elite . 

[scottambrose]

looks like persia red same as mine lovely colour although mine says red on log book. i doubt the spray job will be up2 much its a pig to match the panels and the colour.

[belldarr]

Oh dear that sounds like one to miss - your quite within your rights to reject the car as he has withheld critical information.  The repair sounds like it hasn't been completed to an acceptable standard standard anyway so don't waste money even going to see it.

Looks quite tidy but history shows last cam belt change at 49000 in 2005 which is a long time ago

well i now have an elite . and  very happy with it, all the toys work and the body work is in great shape its nice and smooth with all the power there

                 BUT       2 THINGS  the engine cuts out now and again and then drives fine again and the other thing is slight vibration after 70 mph

If 2.5/3.0 could be sticky ICV or vac leak, vibration could be rear wheels/tyres out of balance

[swordfish]
