Sold Car Declared Cat C
Discussion
I sold my VW Golf TDi about 6 weeks ago. It had been hit by a tree and I could afford to repair it. The insurance never paid out (not covered) so I sold it privately.
The buyer has now come back to me complaining the car is now a Cat C. I've told him its nothing to do with me - why would I have it declared even if I could?
Who gets cars declared as Cat D/C etc? I assumed it was insurance companies.....

I assume you are 100% confident it wasn't given a Cat C BEFORE you bought it?
Might be worthwhile asking a friendly PH'er with access to a free or cheap HPI check if it is showing up with a category marker and take it from there. MAY be a simple data entry error somewhere and a GTI with one digit difference from your reg. plate is showing as clear when it should have had the category marker.

Or OP could do it them selves for £6-£10? Might be worthwhile asking a friendly PH'er with access to a free or cheap HPI check if it is showing up with a category marker and take it from there.

Basic ones are even cheaper.

Did an insurer inspect it?
They may have classified it without you knowing

Nope - only involvement the insurance company had was to basically tell me to FRO when I rang up to see if I was covered. I rang them up to check and they confirmed they hadnt done anything like it.http://pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

The buyer is threatening "legal action" and/or to "sort this out personally"......very odd...
