Is this worth the money. Gorgeous looking car but the Cat D worries me in terms of resale value. I'd love a Solar Red one. |
If you intend to keep it for a while I wouldn't worry too much about the resale value. The repair is done to a good standard and you like red.
(which will be the colour of your bank statement after monthly fuel bills
)
Car used to be on V8 COY and probably mentioned elsewhere on here.
It says 4600 ono so open to negotiation it seems. If you want it, try to get the cost of AA inspection of the price and show the AA the pics before repair so they know where to check.

* Category A - Must be crushed. All of it.
* Category B - Vehicle may not be returned to road but parts may be sold.
* Category C - Repairable. Significant damage. Cost of the repair is more than book value of vehicle at dealer rates.
* Category D - Repairable. Probably non-structural damage. May have been economic to repair, but insurer doesn't want to.
* Category X - Repairable. Minor Damage
Category D Repairable salvage. Minimal damage, probably not structural, but insurer does not want to repair, even though it might be economic to do so. Often stolen and recovered after claim has been paid. Or it maybe a vehicle where parts are difficult to obtain so a quick repair is unlikely. Does not need VIC inspection to return to road.
