Is it worth buying a car, which is listed as having been CAT D damaged, although since repaired.
Any pitfalls in doing this, as the price is very attractive on the car I have seen? Is there a possibility of getting it off the register, having been repaired?

If your after a cheap runaround then yes. CAT D's are not subject to VIC checks, as they are normally stolen recovered with the minimal of damage. As long as you give it a thorough check & your happy with it buy it, I'd buy one

It always will come up as Cat D with an HPI check.

I'm running one now, have been for nearly four years.

Could this possibly be an attempt at a free advert for xxxx

If it is they have shown their stupidity by tagging onto a 10 year old thread, the original OP's will have long lost interest.
