Category D: Vehicle damaged and insurer has decided not to repair.
So category D is the least serious category of write-off. It is really just an economic decision; the insurer decides that giving you the value of the car will be cheaper than paying for the repair.
If the car has been properly repaired, then it is worth as much as a car that was not written off.
Unfortunately no !
However well it has been repaired, who in their right mind is going to pay market value for a car that has been the subject of a total loss claim ?
If the repairs are done properly, great !
Still needs to be a LOT cheaper than a 'non listed' equivalent.
Very rare we get offered a 'listed' car in part exchange, rough rule of thumb we use is 50% of Glasses trade price as a starting point.
