I want to buy a Land Rover Discovery 3 which has been recorded as a cat D write-off - will this affect resale value?

I am considering buying a Land Rover Discovery 3 that has been stolen and recovered with keys. Is this something that will affect the value if and when I come to sell the vehicle in a few years?

It will still be recorded as a Cat D and will make buyers suspicious, so it will always have to be priced accordingly, just as it presumably is now.
