      Nah they seem better because they are usually priced well under market value compared to a similar model/year and miles. If they have sport kit on them it’s usually because that’s what they came with or they have stuck it on because they could 🤷‍♂️ I don’t bother unless the parts are cheap or it will be repaired with the same as what came off it no need to waste money. It will sell as long as it’s priced fairly and repaired properly.

    Vcheck is one of the best hpi checks currently. Quite a few cars are passing through as unrecorded but vcheck brings up the salvage record if sold through copart or motorhog etc, including the auction date, mileage and pictures of the damage. A must when buying 👍🏼

    @jeffreyroberts7438 3 года назад +6

    Categorised cars can be great value if the damage was minor and near the build date. This usually meant the insurance didn’t bother getting the car repaired. I have a Porsche 987 S , categorised in 2008, I purchased it in 2017. Any problem would have surfaced by that date obviously, and the price I paid was less than it would have been, still got the car, drives superb. Just do your homework...and that applies to purchasing any car!!!

Drives perfectly well, was a darn good car before the calamity happened. Makes me think twice when I see that Cat S on an ad. Cat N probably not going to be any problem.

    It reveals if the car has ever been salvage BUT for whatever reason it has not been categorised. Sometimes it will pass a HPI check but Fail a V check!
    V check supplies the salvage photos Inc vin plate and all damage!

    • @CalvinsCarDiary
      @CalvinsCarDiary  3 года назад +6

      Very good point mate.
      Vchecks are good but they don’t ultimately determine or affect the value of a car which is quite bad really. Whatever comes up on HPI is the dictator of the cars value but a Vcheck is deffo worth doing if you suspect something that isn’t listed on HPI or Experian.

  • @chriseseigbe9768
    @chriseseigbe9768 3 года назад +1

    The problem l have with structural damaged cars is that in many instances, one is not provided with the exact information of damage the vehicle suffered to be classed as an S category car. All the information that is received in many cases is that it is an S Category car full stop!!! Not many selling sites except maybe Copart, show pictures of the car after the accident in order for the buyer to make an informed decision on whether to buy the vehicle or not. Auto trader platform has quite a number of good looking S category car, but they hardly sell for months on end, no matter how cheap. This is purely because the information of the kind of damage sustained by the vehicle is unknown if when a check is done. No one will purchase a vehicle especially one to be used as a family car, if the exact damage to the vehicle is not known, no matter how cheap or good looking the car is. S category cars are very good value for money if the damage details are know and also if the buyer of vehicle is ready to drive the vehicle for a very long time, because purchasing an S category vehicle then trying to sell it on after some time could be quite challenging because most people will rather go for a vehicle with no damage history. Finally a major downside is that some insurance companies are reluctant to insure an S category vehicle and the ones that do increase the premium paid, so one might not be saving as much as was initially anticipated.

    Unfortunately auto trader doesn't always show everything accurately either. When I was car hunting 2 years ago found a nice BMW there which was good 3 hours drive. Rang the dealer and as it was still available so I arranged a time to go and see it. They didn't say a word about anything outstanding etc finance nor auto trader did. Only that the car just had a service and is ready for collection as long as payment is received. As I was about to drive for 3 hours I did hpi check and the car was with outstanding finance. When I rang them again the guy played it like a big surprise. Of course bought a car from elsewhere but yea always hpi check a car otherwise you could be in a big trouble without even knowing.

    It's a mistake buying any used car, providing you do not buy and sell them for a living. We will be in a big recession in 6 months time as hardly any money has been circulated, last year (Google it) UK printed money doubling the circulation, so your £1 is worth a lot less than it is now, and because of hardly any money being circulated, car prices are also higher.
    Banks are giving loans left, right and centre because so much money has been printed. They are loaning to people who they know will never pay off the debt.
    Additionally, with interest rates so low now is the best time to get a mortgage.

    Personally wouldn’t touch a categorised car really, always do a v check on a car!! Financially it’s cheaper but would I want a car that isn’t strong as a non categorised car? Fair enough a lot can be done to make a categorised strong again but it will never be 100% again, fair enough that you will know that a car has been in an accident when it’s categorised and sure enough it will have a good repair job but some cars do go under the radar, bit of an iffy subject really both pro’s and con’s to everything

      Hi Chris, the car starts and drives but the gearbox clonks through the gears so it’ll either need a new box or a repair. The previous owner was driving it daily like it, I drove it for one minute and nearly got whiplash 🤣
      We don’t reply to emails or messages on ebay so it’s just best to call.
