I still lurk on here just to keep up to speed on prices and cars for sale. But have noticed there are quite a few cat D cars for sale.
Would this be your own preference to buy one. There a little cheaper or hang out for a non cat D that floats your boat ?

If you want a cheaper car,if the CAT D status is ok with you, if you are prepared to have extra hassle when it comes to selling time...then go for it.

Mine is one of those cars, I took a punt on it when I got her based on some advice from a tvr specialist who said, more and more and more of these are written off due to body damage, it's hard to find devmcent fibre glass workers who don't cost a fortune but as long as the chassis is true and it's been repaired to the correct standards to be vosa signed off then what does it matter?? Are you buying it to drive it or buying it as an investment? Turns out I bought mine to drive and haven't really....the irony!!

I often wondered if I was to buy a cat D, will the insurance be more expensive ?

It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if I'm honest, providing the car is in good condition, repair carried out to a good standard and have no other issues I'd buy it. It's possibly because I'm looking at buying it as a keeper anyway.

There's actually been a lacking of project/repairable cars around recently. I don't wwant anyone to have crashed there pride and joy but I want a car that's cheap to buy as its getting ripped apart and started again anyway. Less money I spend initially will mean more to spend on it for the rebuild.
