Seen in a car ad. What does

"has had damage on cat D v car but now repaired,any inspection welcome"

Does it mean it has been involved in a slight knock and that there should be no problems or that the previous occupants of the car were released from it by firemen using a spoon. ie. this would be a good choice if I wanted to buy a money pit.

Look at the FAQ's on the menu, category D is "minor damage", presumably panel/lights etc, I would imagine it's not major mechanical/chassis damage, but these are assumptions...

Cat D is the lowest form of 'write-off' from an insurance company. Only worth buying IMHO if you never plan on selling it.
