[Azrael]

when it looks to gd to be true it usually is....

[rob_s]

mint,

my 106 is a cat d

if it hasbeen reapir properly mate theres nawt to worry about,if anything youve got yourself a nice bargining tool

btw how mcuh did that cost you?,the hpi report?

[Tupps]

oh dear

[Tobs]

i did a hpi check on 5 saxos and 2 where write offs

theres alot of write off saxos that have been repaired that are about lads, my stupid mate brought one without knowing i spoted straight away at the gaps and where the new slam panel was replaced because the botls wernt the cars body colour (silver)

did a hpi and yup was a cat c hes gutted

[Jackman]

depends weather the write off has been repaired right. i know a mate that buys right offs all the time and repairs

if its done right then nothing to worry about :y:

[craig180]

At that price, I'd say he was playing dumb!

[Azrael]

mint,

my 106 is a cat d

if it hasbeen reapir properly mate theres nawt to worry about,if anything youve got yourself a nice bargining tool

btw how mcuh did that cost you?,the hpi report?

yup, it is a belter all the same but it's far too easy to buy a write of & it run like a bag of nails after 10k.

if the bodywork is mint then mechanically it should be to the same standard of repair... i'd hope, u can never really tell without an RAC inspection & a lenghthy poke about urself

[m20pub]

hpis cost from £9.99 to £39.99
i just searched on google but i would never buy a wrote of then repaired 1 maybe a cat c cus thats just light damage

[m20pub]

ive hpi checked 4 cars a clio 182 a saxo vts both wrote off then my vtr was fine now just done that vts and that was wrote off thank god for hpi's lol

[Azrael]

Bearing in mind categories 'D' and 'C' are deemed uneconomical to repair. 'B' category salvage is to be broken for parts only and 'A' crushed.

Therefore, 'A' and 'B' category salvage should never be returned to the road.

'C' and 'D' are cars which might not have been involved in major accidents but which are simply uneconomical for an Insurer to repair....

Cat D ain't as bad as made out, i'd still show it caution though.

I did an HPI on my old Westcoast, luckily I was okay.

Very good idea, no matter how much they cost.

Fair point mate, but I'd never buy ANY car that has been involved in an accident.

[rob_s]

cat d is the lightest damage! thats why i went for a cat d as apposed to goin for cat c that shows on the log book and you need vic hecking
ie only panel damage

my 106 was written off as the owner had a choice of haveing it reapird of have some money so with it been an elderly owner he took the money as they dident want another car

[John]

My car was a cat c i bought it off salvage company you always take a chance when buying a car buyign salvage has its risks but theres a massive saving to be made.

[ets2k9]

HPI is a must my Impreza was write off I didn't find this out untill I sold it.

It causes all sorts of problems.

[richo]

Thats shocking, the fact the guy genuinely didnt know this before selling his car.

Just hope he ammends his description now.

IIRC it depends on the specific insurer with a VIC marker on Cat D's, VIC is not set to make sure ur repair is good... its set to make sure that ur not changing the car's identity to cover it's past

if its a Cat D then a VIC can be needed if its had a marker placed by the insurer with VOSA

have u checked ur car against the database anyway mate cause most ppl don't find out til they are selling their cars when the v5 is retained by DVLA til the marker i lifted & when the ownership can't be passed on it causes chaos between buyer & seller.

Its all good repairing a write off, but it'll never feel how it should feel, theres always going to be that what if, i know i woundnt like to buy a car thats been repaired, it just wouldnt feel right imo.
