ive looked into this a few times and if ur buying from salvage yards (in n.ireland anyway) the cost of buying it and fixing it, doing the work my self (panel beater by trade) and using 2nd hand parts where possible and having to pay someone to paint it (mates rates all the same). its pretty much ends up the cost of just buying a straight one. thats fixed properly btw, no bodges.. | |

you can always not tell them but they will use it as an excuse to not pay out | |

normally an inspection by an mot place is sufficient, some insurance are funny though and demand an engineers report | |

no it doesn't make insurance higher, but insurance will ask for engineers report when it was fixed, if you dont have this an inspection is required for any Cat including D | |

if your getting something specific to sell onto a mate, tell him he can keep popping round and seeing the work you are putting into it, that way he knows its been done properly! | |

You could do but if you run the risk of not telling them and its was recorded it will show up if they do a HPi check and I can't imagine them being too happy if they find out that way. | |

Im tempted for the summer to buy a cat D (maybe a c if its silly cheap ) and then repair it and use it for a run around or sell it onto a friend. |
