JohnA Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 It depends if you're buying or selling If you're selling then it shouldn't really affect the price. There is whole stream of excuses, one more inventive than the other. If you're buying, you have to assume that the car is afterwards practically unsellable.

No, they are different points of view. The seller has every reason to claim the 'Cat C' thing is a misunderstanding/technicality/mistake/insurance fluke, and the car is as good as new The buyer has every reason to be scared that the car cannot be sold afterwards to anyone with half a brain. Hope you see my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Yeah, granted John. Forgot about the people with half a brain. I would just expect to buy if for bugger all and then struggle to sell it if I ever wanted to. How's your boiler mate? H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1933 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 here are the salvage catagories (to save arguments ): *CAT A: Fire or Flood Damage = Vehicle must be crushed. *CAT B: Heavy damage, with Chassis damage = Vehicle can only be sold for parts. *CAT C: Vehicle is repairable, but uneconomical. Repairs if done through a garage books would be more than 100% of the vehicle value. = AND if repaired it must have a new MOT, and VIC (vehicle identity check) done. *CAT D: Vehicle is repairable, but repairs cost more than 60% of the vehicle value but less than 100%. = if repaired it must have a new MOT. Hope this clears things up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Yeah, granted John. Forgot about the people with half a brain. I would just expect to buy if for bugger all and then struggle to sell it if I ever wanted to. It also depends on the depreciation stage of the car. If it's a couple of years old, then it is less likely to be 'uneconomical' after a small shunt. But nowadays it can become class C after a flat tyre:d I guess if you intend to sell it as parts (or just keep it) it shouldn't matter too much, just get the discount it deserves and get on with it. How's your boiler mate? H. It kicks ass:d Thanks to the members of this forum I fixed it, and most importantly understood how it works, so I can diagnose/repair in the future Nice one.
