dont think so, from wot salvage guy said was that insurance wanted to repair the car but for wot ever reason the owner was kicking up a fuss so in the end they paid out, meaning it becomes car d
stolen recoved cars go under car e or summit, which never shows up on records!

i would say compared to one same age, mileage spec and colour etc prob saved 3-4k!
but being realistic the car is prob worth 2-3k less with it being cat d i guess!
suits me, i basically got a 18moth very low mileage car for some price a high mileage 4 year old one! if i dont keep it mum will have it off me!

Spot on as always with your work mate, 1/4's are easy enough to do on these aint they. My next car will more than likely be another crash damaged one, its too easy lol. Mate of mine has a 57 plate Megane Sport 225, with about 20k on it, book price is around £11k, owes him around £7.5k all done and fixed. Some bargains to be had.
