Hi Guys ive seen a car at a decent price i like but its advertised as a Cat C repaired, it says VIC inspected too - the guy says the car had rear damage and needed a rear bumper and bootlid, it looks mint as in the pictures now - whats the pitfalls ? will i get insured on it ok ? is there a price guide for Cat C vehicles etc.... cheers

 

they are'nt worth as much
harder to sell unless priced right.
it will be the same to insure as a undamaged car
but if you ever need to claim for the car, you won't get paid out as much as a undamaged car. think its around 70% of the value

 

I usually take bout 25% off for cat d cars cat c a little bit more, just make sure its been done well, depends on the car for the amount of work for the category obviously but cat c for a bumper and bootlid doesnt sound right???? Maybe a whole rear panel, the boot, bootlid, and some work to the rear quarters??? depends on the value of the car pre accident bud

 

i just spoke to the garage in london they said they fitted the parts the guy supplied, and painted the boot bumper and rear quarter panel.

 

i've got a 07 focus st which required a rear quarter,n/s door,sill,rear bumper and exhaust and is on a cat d so as above depends on the value of the car pre accident.
what car is it age ect?

 

Don't forget it will be more difficult to sell when you come to shift it on!
