CAT D

A CAT D vehicle is a salvage vehicle which is damaged to some extent but can be repaired and has lower cost of repairs (COR). Damaged or salvage vehicles are generally put up for sale by auto dealers or by online shopping websites on behalf of insurance companies. Such vehicles are sold to the general public, finance houses and private companies. A damaged vehicle can also be put up for sale by private vehicle owners. Damaged vehicles which are also known as salvage vehicles include just about any kind of vehicle like cars, motorcycles, scooters, SUVs (sports utility vehicles) and many more.

Salvage vehicles are divided into different categories depending upon the extent of damage done to the vehicles. CAT A vehicles are the worst of the lot and the costs of collection and processing them are more than the returns one might get from selling parts from the salvage. CAT B vehicles are vehicles wherein the costs of collection and processing are less than the probable return from selling parts from the salvage. CAT C and CAT D vehicles are repairable. A CAT D car is the least damaged and can be easily repaired. As CAT D salvage cars are always in great demand they offer great value for money. Many insurance companies offer CAT D insurance cover as well. Many of the leading shopping websites offer such vehicles for sale.
