Cat C write off.................
I've seen a decent motor I quite fancy but its a cat c write off. I know what cat c means but is there anything else I should know regarding getting it insured and proof the repairs have been carried out correctly?

if you buy cheap you sell cheap, no loss really.
many CAT C cars are perfectly fine to buy, i've considered it loads of times. i had a torqouise calibra se that was pretty good ( apart from having the wrong engine, should have been an 8 valve but had a C20XE lump
)
no major worries IMO

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Cat C means it's a damage repairable that's had the log book withheld subject to an inspection before it's allowed back on the road I think.
V Car is the insurance register that all (recorded) accident damaged cars are listed on.

Depends what car it is?
My car was Cat C written off yesterday, ive bought it back and gonna repair it but at the end of the day my car isnt worth fortunes anyway and by the time i sell it it will be worthless.

Cat A - FUCKED (burnt out etc)

Cat C - Damaged, beyond economical repair, log book withheld, needs inspection before it can go back on the road.
Cat D - Damaged, beyond economic repair.
That's it I think, only thing I'm not sure on is the logbook thing with cat C.

Cost me 20% of the insurance to get the car back so well worth repairing. i'll have a cheap escos and money in the bank

Cheers folks. Its not a massively expensive car anyway but if I do get it I should save £1500+ compaired to similar models.
Does anyone know if insurance is more expensive?

cat c and cat d is when when its cheaper to payout than repair a car ive done a few but cat c u will have to take the car to a vosa centre to have it inspected b4 u can get a new logbook. the check is just to make sure u are trying to register the same car and not a stolen car.
