MAT ED30:
you would be  :surprised: to see what they cat d as my dad buys them all the time  :signLOL: he got a rover that was cat d for small crease in the bumper and they said it would not start  :surprised: new battery all it needed  :signLOL: he has had loads like that when insurance can not be arsed to fix as value of car is not worth the price to fix so if you can find out what has happened to the car that would help. VWR have a mk5 that was wrote off from a rear end bump that put a crease in the boot floor  :confused: insurance wrote it off  :chicken: they do get wrote off for some strange things

vwrascal:
seems pricey for a cat D   :scared:

Rich:
omg im a total n00b - what is CAT D ??????????????????????????  :ashamed: :ashamed: :ashamed: :ashamed:

Cat D is the lowest/lightest form of insurance write off.

Its great for buying a cheap 5-8 year old hatchback, I've seen some that have just needed a headlamp and a bumper refit, but newish cars are repairred wherever possible, they only get written off if it was something too costly or time consuming.

There is only one exception, some insurance will give you a new car if your car is under a year old and in a shunt.  These days its pretty rare but it could've been written off that way.

that ar is worth about 7k tops, i only payed 7.5k for mine with 60k miles on and it is fully spec'd bar xenons and 1 or 2 other bits, way to expensive, if the car hs been recorded as cat d then it was not worth repairing, so when they tell you it was bumper and bonnet and wings dont listen to them, as that s what all people say!
