I have a cat c w8 passat with insurance and tax plus an independant warranty. They all know its a cat C and are fine, although most insurance companies and one warranty said NO.

In what way? just looking for something cheap and cheerful for 17 year old, and it is tidy and low miles. :-/ It is only just up the road so I would view it, before making my offer through ebay :-X

Maybe trying to get a 17 year old insurance is hard enough but on a cat c might be a bit of a challenge.
Could be as hard as getting an omega, like I did just after I passed my test at 17 :-X

"HAVE NEVER KNOWN ANY OIL LEAK COST MUCH TO REPAIR" ...... I have !!!!

Anyway -- if it seems straight on inspection, suss out who the seller has had it insured with and give them a bell -- see the lie of the land re your 17 year olds prospects with them.  You can but ask  :y

Think I might give this a miss. Have contacted the seller of this one, asking him to get in touch if it does not sell. 5 mins away so got to be worth a look.

Yes, I am thinking that.  The bidding is slow. I have made contact saying that I can not act in the time available, but intend to buy a car this weekend. I  dont know what his reserve is, I would be testing the water at around £500, using local knowledge and pointing out other cars in two local secondhand dealers, where I could PX the Mitsubishi

Yup Saxo is a much better bet, fiats seicento's are just awful even for a 17 yr old, my sis in law had one it was honestly the most awful thing i've ever driven in my life even worse than a Lada that I bought for 35 quid before  ;D
