Guest Mad627 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Tried to pm you djfoxs but doesn't look like gone through. I am looking to sell my 98 mkiv jspec tt auto. It has just passed 86000 miles. It's black, British headlights, mph conversion, active front spoiler, currently on ASA wheels but I do still have the original supra wheels. I've owned for two years with zero problems and lots of embarrassing 'fast cars'! Is a cat C repair on rear wing but insurance companies would make any repair on a Supra a Cat C! I'm looking for 10-10,500. If you're interested I'm happy to answer any questions and can provide photos of my much loved road rocket.

masterfett Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 10k for a Cat C tt auto? No offence but you must be on crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mad627 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The Cat C repair was before I got her two years ago! Been driven very well since! 10k for low mile mechanically sound late model tt. I'll have to upload the photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsturbo Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 cat c damge is major/structual chassis damag which needs to be pulled back using a jig. A fully smashed in back end with panels needing replacing would be recorded as a cat d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 This (http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?298502-UK-SPEC-Auto-Single-turbo-GT35R-Black-%A37000) cat C UK spec single turbo was for sale for a long time and went for a lot less than the asking price iirc. So as already mentioned above, 10K for a cat C TT auto is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 cat c damge is major/structual chassis damag which needs to be pulled back using a jig. A fully smashed in back end with panels needing replacing would be recorded as a cat d. Wrong As an example, a Cat D write off could be a ten-year-old car with a dent. Insurers are bound to go through official repair channels - on older cars this can be expensive and so the price of a new door to the insurer would be £800. As the list price of the car is only £1,000 the insurer decides it's uneconomical to carry out the repair and writes the car off. However, a private buyer could very easily salvage a door from a scrap vehicle for, say, £50, and fit it themselves. The car can then be sold on provided it's clearly noted as a Cat D write-off. An example of a Cat C write-off would be a car worth £1,000 with a dent that costs £1,200 to fix. If the car is repaired and put back on the road, a Vehicle Identity Check is required from the DVSA for the car to be taxable, and thus roadworthy. However this test does not check if the car has been repaired properly - so if you are looking to buy one then get a mechanic to check the car over for you first. That said a cat c is generally worth half of what a non CAT C car is regardless of repairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Without getting involved in the specific pricing of this car whilst a cat c car is far from ideal some people go way over the top, there could easily be a Supra out there with no category at all that has at some point had worse damage repaired. Someone malicious with their foot and a set of keys could make almost any of our cars a cat c in 5 mins, it won't make it a bad car if it subsequently gets repaired. No doubt it can effect the price but 50% is over the top imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The problem is scooter, the level of CAT C is nearly always unknown. Agreed a supra vs a key would end in a CAT C. However a supra meeting a pole would also end in the same. Unless the damage is documented with photos and the repair is done in the same manner there is really no way of telling how bad the damage was or what level the repair was carried out to. I stand by my estimate of the value of a CAT C car. That said i did a search and turned up this "Cat D is 30% and cat C 40% reduction in retail.. That's how insurance view it" I dont know for sure thats correct, by any means. I guess it comes down to its worth what ever someone is willing to pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mad627 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thanks for the constructive feedback Scooter and Raven, so going on what a tt is going for at the moment what would you suggest being a price to put on my pride and joy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 All the percentages are just an estimate anyway. I agree with Raven you need to know what happened especially to judge the price, all I'm saying is a category rating is just another thing to take into consideration. My positive example, say you have a stock 50k mile tt6 original paint that is a bit stone chipped and there has been a paint reaction on the roof. You are preparing for a full resprayed in time but kinda living with it. Let's say it's worth £10k Scenario 1 you simply get it resprayed spend x000's and its worth maybe £11k as it's fresh Scenario 2 it gets keyed, you shrug and get it resprayed as it was on the cards anyway, still worth £11k Scenario 3 it gets keyed, you claim on insurance it gets cat c'd it's worth what after a respray!? No reason in these circumstances it's not worth close to the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mad627 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Update on why I've got a cat c, the previous owner hit a bollard in an asda car park causing the rear right wing to be pushed in behind the fuel cap. This was repaired by fabricating section of wing and joined in. NO JIGGING required. Am I still smoking crack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Am I still smoking crack? If I had to guess, I would say yes. But I don't know that many recreational drugs users to know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mad627 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Was replying to an earlier poster. Seemed confused as to why I'd sell my car rather give it away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterfett Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Not at all, sadly doesn't matter what happened, it's still cat C .. so therefore doesn't command premium bucks. You might be lucky and find some on who will pay top price once they have seen the photos of the damage after the Bollard incident and that the repairs have been done to high quality.. maybee. I appreciate not wanting to give your car away of course but realistically if you advertise it as cat C don't expect what you originally said.

Swampy442 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 If I was looking to buy, and the choice was a straight car, or a cat C, Id take straight every time. Thats the problem you're going to have, winning over prospective buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
