The wrong model is not uncommon, the cat c you might need to look into that a bit more.

Is the car good? I wouldn't worry to much about it

The cat c didn't really bother me to be honest it was in 2002. But the different model did as I've heard the 4WD system can't be put in the sunny estate. Can I post pics on here? The two wheel arches (rear) are corroded is this a big fix?

I've had about 10 pulsars and only one of them was correct on the log book.

What yo reckon about the back quarter rust? If it were you what kind of cash would you have lay out?

 

[PobodY]

As above. - Mine says it's a Sunny GTi... and I've got a similar amount of rust (maybe more).

For both arches done I would expect to pay a decent coachworks about £1000, could be more could be less, just depends how bad the inner arch is as well.

You can write to the dvla to let them know it's a nissan pulsar but they can be hard work I had this with a few of mine in the end one of them was a 1.4 sunny.

With arches like that I would be checking inner arches, floors, sills, turrets and subframe mounts before laying out any cash for bodywork.

I would also recommend binning the runway tyres. :shock:

Mine is just listed as "Nissan" and I've got rusty arches too...



....welcome to the club!!! :hide:

 

[warringtonjack]

Yeah, mine was registered as a Toyota Previa! A quick letter to the DVLA and they sorted it out.






A also have rusty arches.

 

[HotJambalaya]

yup, mine comes up as 5 door hatchback too...

 

[Davidm90]

So for £2500 it's ok?

Worth thy the cash though?

 

[warringtonjack]

To be honest, even if it's a dog, it's probably worth 2.5k. Personally, for that price I'd expect some things that needed sorting out!
