Would You Buy a CAT S Write Off
Posted: Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:40 pm
Hi all,
Anyone ever purchased a CAT S car before. Found a great little car for my son's fist car but says it's CAT S.
I would normally steer a mile clear BUT if I had a a small bang in my car that could be repaired legally and roadworthy I would still drive it no problem.
This is from uSwitch:
Category N: Can be repaired following non-structural damage. You can use the vehicle again if it’s repaired to a roadworthy condition. This replaced category C in October 2017.
Category S: Can be repaired following structural damage. You can use the vehicle again if it’s repaired to a roadworthy condition. This replaced category D in October 2017.
Because some category C, D, S and N cars may have received minor damage that has been repaired at a cost to the owner (not the insurer), these types of write-offs commonly find their way to the used car market.
HPI says - This vehicle has not been reported stolen, scrapped, exported or flagged as un-roadworthy.
What do you think??
