Default Cat D cars.

Can you insure a cat d car? Is it true that some cat d cars are put back on the road with no fault?

yes you can insure them, the same as you can insure a cat c and put it back on the road as long as it has had a vic check.

yes could get lucky and get a deal, to be honest 15 years ago when i started messing with, accident damaged/stolen recovered cars there was plenty of money in it if you know the right people at the salvage yards to get the good cars, but them days seem to have long gone and you will end up paying not a lot less for a bent one, then straight one.

i would agree with my94wrx 100 percent,unless you get a non recorded damage repairable(very few are )then it aint worth it,then if you do there is always somthing you never banked on that you find ie parts you need that puts up the cost of repairs.im in the trade and its dificult so jo public would have labour costs aswell.
