People want them stupidly cheap but tbh, i wouldnt say much, if its repaired wel enough to go back on the road i dont see a problem, plus alot of cars are classed at write offs when they really shouldnt so to answer your question, a couple of hundred if valued around 1500 - 2000
5k plus you start looking at 1k+ knocked off impo

Depends on damage tbh, do you mean a repaired one??
Cat D about 5-10% imo
Cat C about 10-20%
Thats my opinion, but people can sell them at full price if they want, at the end of the day, its been repaired to a roadworthy condition.

It all depends on the extent of the damage that was done on the car, if you have before and after pics then that helps a hell of a lot as most people dont believe them when they say things like it was only a wing that was repaired when in fact it was the hole front end of the car lol.
If it was me I would have the car checked over professionaly before I thought about buying it and even then if it was done right for the sake of an extra grand i'd probably buy the car without and kind of CAT C/D damage as its much easier to sell on

It's less of a lottery if you know what you're looking for, should take somebody that can spot a repair.
