Been offered a CAT C written off car...

What does that mean??

I thought only CAT D cars were put back on the road, and that CAT C were pretty well mashed?!

Wee bit of input would be nice, cause it looks like a great deal, and I'm pretty tempted!!

Cheers,

Hi there mate.

Cat D is light body damage.

Cat C can be fairly heavy and possibly light/moderate mechanical.

Cat B is break only.

Cat A is to be destroyed.

Having said that i've bought damaged cars before to repair, and cars that maybe should have been Cat C have been Cat D and vice-versa!

Only Cat C and D cars can go back on to the road.

 

Thanks Garth.... Appreciate the reply mate!!

Cheers,
Grant

Find out where the Cat C repair was carried out

A car I owned was repaired to Cat D standards by a BMW Approved Bodyshop. It was returned to us as if it had been in a Cat C shunt (according to insurance assesor who fought our case for us)
