SWMBO's friend has just put a deposit on a used 07 Fiesta 1.25 style with 40 k, guy mentioned it had had a bump on the wing and is a insurance category d repaired, Price she is paying is £3300 and from the pics I have seen it looks good. Checked on Parkers and it looks to be worth £3500 max as private good but the guy is a home trader. I know that cat d's can be ok but are worth 25% less but the guy didn't mention this exactly. I can't find one the same for less than 4 grand at a dealer.
Question is do I let sleeping dogs lie as she seems over the moon with it or stick the boot in that she should get at least a couple of hundred off it?
Would you tell any prospective buyer what the car (or whatever it is you are selling) is worth in real life?
He was honest enough to declare it was cat D, but if it's been repaired properly and she is happy then let it be.
