Hi guys my name is shanice and im 20 years old from wales. I currently drive a clio and is the worst car ever for repairing  so looking for something else. Been looking on this site for a very long time seen how fab everyones cars are and you lot have seriously convinced me to want to buy a st500 i've seen but will have a 7 hour drive to get. Really looking forward of being part of this mad house.

been trying to find a decent definition and google has failed me for once. this is best i could find, http://www.whatcar.com/car-news/what-car-q-and-a/what-does-category-d-mean/221109you could probably get away with buying the car and have no comebacks. me personally, id like the peace of mind knowing that its clear tho.

Welcome Shani! Yes defo avoid damaged cars if possible, unless it was an absolute bargain price wise, which it wasnt. The first ST500 on the link Rob gave is a good buy. Already has the Mountune 185 kit on it which is a great power package! Good luck with your 500 hunt

Bit late, but welcome. I'm from Wales also, nice to see another Welshy here tbh.
P.s. Don't give up on looking for a ST, never, great car.
