Does anybody know this DS3 R?

[Cejsmith]

I'm going to look at a cat d DS3R reg w11PSN at the weekend and I was wondering if anybody knew it . It was services twice in Marshall's Cambridge and once and Citroen Letchworth.

It's Black and orange in colour.

Any info would be gratefully received.

There's some Racings listed here, but last 4 VIN numbers.

I'd be wary of cat D, the racings are temperamental as it is. Make sure they offer a very good warranty period for that

What kind of "info" are you looking for?

What kind of "info" are you looking for?

Maybe how many time the engine has been replaced?

[Cejsmith]

As it's a Cat D , what was the damage that it was written off for and how many engines it's had etc!!!

[Bigfeet]

Well it's a CAT D then the car was either stolen or involved in a bump which was more than the value of the car, being a DS3R it could be either. If it was involved in an accident then you need to see the paperwork confirming that the car is cleared for use on the road.

As for warranty your dealer will be able to provide that information.

It's a private sale and I dont think cat d's even need a VIC these days

Errrrrrm I'd steer clear. If I was gonna buy any DS3R I would go for approved Citroen. If I was buying any other Cat D car, I'd want it from a reputable car dealership.

Why is this person selling it? Was it Cat D before they bought it? Did they crash it themselves? How many miles has it done since repair?

I'm looking for a car that fun to use for myself and my daughter on track days, the guy that brought it knew it was a cat d. Because it's a cat d , that why I'm trying to find info about it!!!

[cyclone]

and the seller knows nothing and has put no miles on it?

I'm not saying that , i'm just trying to see if anybody knows anything about it history before it's current owner

[Bigfeet]

How cheap is this car?

I would pay out for a full inspection of the car to double check things, be on the safe side. Also don't forget to dial in extra insurance costs, most major companies will not insure a CAT D car so do some homework.

The car also had the reg plate ds03gts and ve11hpk

Thanks for the advice but I've been buying car for 30 years and I've seen most of the pit falls ��

If you only want to track it then go for it! But if you wanted to daily it too then I'd try go for one from a Citroen dealer. An approved one on Autotrader for £14k
