Buying a car (write off) advice
#1
So I sold my bx on Saturday and I've been looking for a nice zx volcane I viewed 2 5 doors but wasn't keen then I found a very nice 3 door one, been to view it today needs some tlc (gear leaver sloppy/ rip on steering wheel/ odd mark on body) put it was in extremely good condition considering age (94) and mileage 178k, after coming back and forth on price to take in to account the issues. We agreed on 840 (was up at 995) I count cash out and go to fill log book out to find out its a previous insurance write off. 

So at that point I called the deal off. But I'm still seriously considering it. 

What are your guys thoughts on buying a car that has been writen off in the past? Is it still worth the price agreed considering it's been writen off? Or does it devalue it considerably? 

Any advice welcome.
