How much value does a Category N car lose?
Even if a Cat N car has been repaired competently and to a flawless standard, it will likely see somewhere between a 20% and 40% decrease in sale value, compared to a similar model of the same age, condition and mileage. Link to website ;
https://www.raw2k.co.uk/news/all-your-questions-answered-about-category-n-salvage-carsAs the above is from a vehicle auctions website, I’m assuming that reference to ‘sale value’ relates to an auction sale price, but I’d expect that lower auction price to flow through to the motor trader’s retail price. If it doesn’t, then if a motor trader advertises a Cat N repaired car for the same or similar price as a non-Cat N car, they’re pricing it too high IMHO.
