Pure Lotus

[tut]

John Duthie just phoned me to ask me what I thought of this car, as a friend of his has just put a £1K deposit on it. As we know a B&C 160 does not put out that power, maybe 150hp. Spec looks good, but we did an HPI check on it, and it is a CAT C.

No mention of this in the advert so my advice was to pull out and get his deposit back, as surely this is false advertising or comes under NFFP.

What a Category C means

A Category C assignment means that the car has been damaged, but can still be repaired. However, the cost of repairs will likely exceed the cost of vehicle itself and most insurance companies will not pay for repairs. In addition, until repairs are made, many insurance companies will not insure the car, and some will not even if the car has repaired because there may still be some structural damage. In order to get a Cat C vehicle back on the road it must have a Vehicle Identity Check (VIC), which may remove the Category C classification, but the record will remain on a car’s data check.

Seems strong money for a cat c in my opinion, makes our vx look a proper bargain imo

Those rear lights are hideous too..

I bought from Pure Lotus a few years back and without saying too much it turned out to be a large, costly, mistake. I would never advise anybody to buy from them.
