The Jag in the picture above really drives the point home, doesnt it? Id be surprised (from the picture, but they dont usually get any better when you get underneath them) to see that as a Category C write-off, never mind a D.
That should probably be sold with a choice of where you want it Stihl sawing: Id go for a long front...

10k? If that's not rolled then a tree fell on it! Amazing something like that could be put back on the road with some patter about a 'minor' knock!!!

No, it had been nicked and recovered. Just a busted door lock and the steering lock had been busted I think.
I bought it for about half its normal value after it had been repaired.
It was then written off again by a London Bus, which was handy as the Nikasil linings had gone and it was using more oil than petrol!

mine was cat c last year.
new quote to fix with genuine parts £9,000 ( this included £3,500 for just the air bags)
paid out £7,500 brought back for £2,000 and repaired for just under £5,000 using a mixture of secondhand and new parts, and added a couple of extra's.
no issues insuring and flew through the vic test.

I've seen a Porsche 911s repaired on insurance with WORSE damage. But becuase it was an 4 month old £80K car, so due to its value it was passed for reapair. So comes up perfectly clear on any Hpi checks
I have pics somewhere of one that was embedded into a lampost 12" from the front bulkhead; both front chassis rails pulled together. Car was repaired by the insurer, sold and probably is still being driven round today by someone who is non-the-wiser of its accident history because it was NOT written off.
Not saying its good or bad, but it stinks that cars with severe chassis damage can have clean repair history because the insurer reapired it, yet a lesser value car has a bit of damge and geta a insrance marker simply because it was written off.
