"A Cat S car is one which has sustained structural damage during a crash – think items such as chassis and suspension"

Still drives like its on rails mate, needs to be seen to be appreciated & these are getting more rare these days.

It might drive like it's on rails but it's still a cat s and I wouldn't touch a car that's had structural damage. Any photos of the damage it had before repair?

Lol don’t touch it then. You can see photo’s on a HPI check.

A couple of decades ago issuance assessors were given the time to do proper detailed reviews of damaged cars.
It seems in recent years - probably due to the plague of cash for cash - it's turned into a conveyor belt where they don't really spend much time looking in detail - it is just their opinion from a brief review.
Sometimes the categorisation is accurate, other times cruelly wrong where perfectly good cars that should be given an N get classified as an S - it could be suspension and panel damage, but no actual chassis damage.

Either way a recovered car will always carry a stigma - automatically reducing its market appeal - and this should reflect in price.
But it still can be a good and perfectly safe car, just at a reduced price - Good luck with sale.

I appreciate the genuine reply LC5F. Yes from what I remember it wasn’t your normal CAT S, but I would advise anyone to get a proper HPI check & do the correct research. If someone wants to spend £8000 on one with more miles & in worse condition but its HPI clear then thats up to them. I went to buy another Gti when i got this that was HPI clear but it was a bag of bolts. You need to know what you’re looking at when buying cars.
All the best mate.

For what it's worth I bought a cat C car as my daily a few years ago and I think the "don't touch it with a barge pole" attitude is too simplistic. It had been through two MOT's since it's repair which gave me confidence and the seller showed me all the bits that had been replaced. Looking at it from the outside you'd have no idea it'd been in a bump. It's been faultless and I saved a stupid amount of money on the purchase price. Having said that, I plan on running it into the ground and will probably never sell it so the fact it would be difficult to shift didn't put me off, but it's something worth bearing in mind.
