Cat D - Looking to purchase

I am looking to purchase a 2015 plate car which is Cat D.

Has anyone had any experience?

Thanks

Personally I wouldn’t touch one,,ok it might be cheaper to purchase but if you were to make a claim just remember the insurance have already paid out on the vehicle so expect 2 3rd’s of the value of the car.Also it will be harder to sell on,even straight cars are hard to sell.

We are keeping the next car for 10 years The car is valued at £17k but I can get to for £11k which is the right price as its a 2015 plate.
Agreed that normal cars are hard to sell. Insurance company doesn't give two hoots about Cat D cars and didn't even need to be informed. I will buy the car as long as the seller can produce the paperwork for the damage AND repair 2006 RRS Supercharged 4.2 HST muthuaflecka!

I thought you was on with getting a 15plate RRS but obviously not.i suppose at 11k & your keeping it that long it won’t really matter.

I knew a farmer a few years back who always bought Cat D Full Fats.

He would run them for a few years and them either give or sell them very cheaply to members of his family or farm workers. From what I can remember he never had anymore trouble from them than folk who bought ones that had not been repaired.

I read that the new alloy steel used to build the newer Range Rovers and Land Rovers was extremely difficult to weld and for that reason new vehicles that look to have simple and repairable damage are being scrapped. If you do buy it, I’d be tempted to have an independent vehicle engineer inspect and certify the vehicle to ensure it has been correctly repaired.

Would it have any kind of warranty as I expect JLRs warranty would be void. 2012 5.0 SC AB

Just to be clear, if you are paying £11k for a 2015 cat D then it will be stolen!

As long as it’s had a decent repair then cat d shouldn’t be a massive issue. Insurance companies these days pay out and sell the salvage, as it’s more cost effective than repairing due to JLRs parts prices! Range Rover Sport HSE DYnamic SDV6 Velocity blue 2020 MY

It's a BMW


I'm glad you found an insurance company that don't mind.

Most.

1) Won't insure one
2) Will pay out less in a claim, as its worth less

This may or may not be a good deal. But I would set aside £2k for psychotherapy, because I think you’ll need the emotional support in year 2 of ownership. Neutral L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
