lol.... was it cheap at least?
edit:
I once bought a bmw 540i sport, 2000 model, while pissed on ebay. It was lush! 74k on the clock, centre silencers removed and genuine Alpina 18" rims to boot.
It had 2 weeks MOT remaining, won it for £2500, cost me nearly a grand 2 weeks later getting it through the MOT  and that was doing all the work myself except tyre fitting.
It needed:
*Full set of tyres (a front and rear had bulges, so stuck a new set on)
*Drop links all round (a front and rear were knackered)
*Front discs and pads OEM
*Rear pads and handbrake shoes
*Chafed fuel line, where the tool before me had fitted 275 rear tyres on a rim designed for 265 width max, I fitted the correct tyres and they no longer runed the inside liner of the arch.
*Some other stuff I can't remember
It all worked out pretty much ok though, when I sold it a year later with an extra 12k miles I got £3400 for it.
Hopefully your pissed purchase will work out just as well  |

You were done mate. Your car did not have rear drop
Links or handbrake shoes. If you fitted these yourself, you're deluded.

I just checked the gov website:
Reason(s) for failure
Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)
Nearside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)
Front brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (3.5.1i)
Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.4.G.2)
Offside Rear Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (4.1.D.1b)
Nearside Front Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (4.1.D.1b)
Nearside Rear Fuel pipe excessively chafed (7.2.2)
Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)
Anti roll bar links, my bad, not drop links, you can have that one, it was several years ago.
And yes, I did do it myself.

Only photo I can find with the rear discs off, but they look like handbrake shoes/pads to me beneath all that dust |

It does look like there's nothing much wrong with it but I'd have thought that the seller would have said if it's just cosmetic damage on the LHS rather than only saying it's a cat C as they'd have got more money for it that way.
Hope for the best and let us know what the story is when you pick it up.  |

It looks fairly superficial, although I would check the left hand bar as it looks like it might not be straight. Also, this may not be the first time it has been down the road, as the paintwork is non-standard and decals are missing.
If it is as it looks though, that looks like a decent buy.

If you don't want it, I'd give you most of your money back for that

It was delivered early this morning I didn't have time to have a proper look had a look this evening in the garage light and it does only appear cosmetic on the left. The only thing that doesn't work is the rear left hand indicator and that's only the bulb.
Put some fuel in it and it fired up no problem that end can is fucking loud though.
As I don't have insurance on it yet I could only run it up my 1.2 mile private drive  and it ran fine and stopped fine.
I will insure it tomorrow then go out for a test run.
Checked the brake fluid and it looks like new.
