The car i'm thinking of, the owner had lost the keys so the cost of new keys / locks etc would cost more than the car was worth.
The car has now been re-locked and VIC checked, but the owner wants roughly the same price as a non cat car.
Its a 300TDi Auto Discovery, 1994 M reg 5 door. 168K
Was told that the owner had lost the keys and the insurance company had written it off, the salvage company that bought it (and are now selling it) took it to a lock smith who opened the car for them, they had a good look round and found the spare key hiding somewhere in the car. It has had a VIC check and has MOT until Sept 09.
He wants £800 but is willing to take an offer.
