An autotrader advert states,
CAT D TOTAL LOSS DAMAGED TO NEARSIDE DOORS AND WINGS
ALL EXPERTLY REPAIRED WITH 6 MONTHS WARRANTY FROM REPAIRING
What does this mean?
thanks

HJ himself said " Think of Cat D like this:
A car is worth £6,000, but sustains some minor cosmetic damage.
The damage will cost £2,500 for an (inflated price) insurance repair that includes the cost of a courtesy car for the owner while the repair takes place.
But the insurer can sell the car off as it is for £4,000.
So the insurer 'writes it off' as a Cat D, saving itself £500, even though the car may be perfectly drivable and suffers only cosmetic damage.
