Who do I report a CAT B write off too?

[Rover Repair]

Went to buy a car, put a deposit down, did hpi on hpicheck.com and shes a CAT B write off, thats been repaired by a salvage yard and put back on the road.

Now im going to be going up later with the certificate printed in hand and my steel toe cap boots to get my deposit back, but who does a CAT B car need reported to, DVLANI etc?

Ive got all the individuals details, address and such because I dont want anyone else to get screwed over!

 

[pablo]

you could phone the DVLNI and try them? Im sure if they dont handle it they will know who does.

reckon the seller knows? He might not.

 

[Rover Repair]

He does, his family member owns the salvage yard in question having done some digging.

 

[pablo]

pmsl, fukking crook then!

 

[Rover Repair]

Aye, not impressed. Can I report him to the PSNI also outta curiosity?

 

[djmgzr]

What car is it u where after? And who is selling it? A dealer?? Hope not, if so he should be named

 

[W9NGJ]

name and shame!! then a good kick in the balls with the steal caps on

 

[ferrett]

he will never get a tax book for this car rendering it impossible to sell without pulling a fly one .. cat a and b are for the crusher and not allowed back on the road , i,d try the psni if dvlni cant help

Cat b can be fixed/ reshelled ect, knew of a 911 a few years ago that was cat b and repaired, he may not be breaking the law by selling the car but would be braking the law buy not telling you it is cat b ( if he is aware) and it would be stated on the tax book so don't see how he wouldn't know!!!

Personally im not risking it as its for the gf. If its a cat B on the log, then insurance company wont touch it.

Cops would be my 1st phone call, can your "family friend who is a cop" not advise you?

 

[Rover Repair]

They have. Hes coming with me just incase.

you cant legally put a cat B back on the road. so you have no choice.

 

[scoobyman]

what sort of car is it

 

[pablo]

If its a rover then they come from the factory as Cat B

 

[Gaz]

Very dodgy alright. As Pablo says, a Cat B car should be destroyed and never put back on the road - that's the law. They can only ever be used for parts and a V5 will never be issued for one. Did he show you a V5 or log book?

 

[scoobyman]

If its a rover then they come from the factory as Cat B

lol

 

[Crispy Rice]

Good luck with this and let us know how you get on...

lol,

Id respond, but I might get points. Again.

yes you can if its reshelled

what way does that work with the VIN? use old VIN in a brand new shell? Or use VIN of a second hand shell?
