16,000 miles
But why do all listed cars have low low miles ?
I can never understand it.
It it expensive or fair value ?

For a Cat D I'd say it is a bit expensive.

"As you may know VW fitted an Audi S3 engine in these models with a bigger garret turbo"

Just asked whether we can pop around to check things over and scan the car etc. :evilgrin:

What does cat d listing mean?

What does cat d listing mean?
Had an insurance repair due to body damage

It's a shame there's no official documentation available on what work actually gets done to Cat cars. It could be anything.

Not even broke in yet :signLOL:

I don't think Billyjo's has got 9k anymore ?? :innocent:
Cat D can be something quite simple and can reduce the value , if i was going to keep a car forever i would buy a Cat D car . I have been examining Cars for many years in my old job and some are done fantastically and others are done very poorly . Rackhams in Ipswich repaired an M3 some years ago for the owner (Oddly MR Rackham) which was used in a course we ran in the Police . You couldn't tell the car had been damaged and drove exactly as it should , it was indistinguishable from New . Course attendees were amazed at the photos of the car we showed them before it was repaired , i'll see if i can find them . Others have been repaired so poorly that nobody would buy the repaired car , whatever the price .
Anyone repairing a Cat D car well will keep photos of the actual process of the repair , those that don't have something to hide . Cat C/D cars are also a way of selling stolen cars . Thieves will steal a car matching the Damaged car and then make the stolen car look like the Cat D one , they will tell you it has been repaired and then sell it at a lower price attracting buyers . Altering a cars identity (Cloning) like this is still were prolific and are slipping through the net as the Police don't examine re registered write offs anymore , DVLA staff do . Some are ok at theier job , but others are not .
BEWARE - If you buy one and it has been stolen and cloned , the Police will seize it and pass back to the original owner (Generally , not always depnding on how the car was bought by the owner it was seized off)
BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE OF Categorised Write Offs :innocent:

To many doors and black is a bugger to keep :confused:
