Default Cat d

My s2 is a cat d and requires body work. Is it worth spending money it?

Yes mate, there isnt alot of cars out there that havnt been 'fixed' over the years if it is recorded a CAT D or C it will effect the value but to be honest atleast with a CAT D there is no VIC check needed etc so i would fix it and drive it fella !

I've had the car almost 4 years now, it is a solid car but needs attention to exterior. IMO with old cars like these long as its clean and honest it don't matter wats happened as there becoming harder to find a good one.

Depends how bad the damage is but I suspect on a S2 its probably very little so fix her up fella and get her back on the road.

If you do decide to buy her take lots of photo's of damaged area for future should you sell depending on damage cat d/c doesnt affect price that much really especially as the cars are getting rarer

I brought it as a cat d. Someone smashed the window to try and pinch it, the previous owner claimed on his insurance which made it a cat d. There's not loads tbh, arches, scuttle and petrol cap area. I almost sold for a grand as ppl said the value will be affected quite a lot due to cat d, but I thought its worth more so I've kept it.
