It adds a 'condition inspected' to the HPI check, it will say '1 recorded' or similar, and include the name of the inspecting co and a reference number for the report.  It doesn't change the history of the car though.  Prospective buyers can obtain the report, and it will say something like 'previously recorded as cat N on condition register' and give the date of the inspection, inspector name etc.

As I said it will remove the cat n status. Yes it'll add the condition inspected but you would also get the satisfaction of knowing that it was repaired to a high standard, unlike alot of cat c + cars out there.

 

You should theoretically be able to get more money for your car as it's not a cat c, d, n or s car

The cat status is still on the history, it's not removed. 

 

I'm not a legal expert but I believe there is an obligation to declare the car was a cat N when you sell it. 

 

Personally I've always thought cat D/N was a bit unfair. Just a few pounds either way can determine when one car is repaired whilst another is forever cat N. 

 

Also think on an older / classic car it's all a bit academic. On a 3 year old car it matters.

Hello

 

A quick update.  I now have a replacement door, from eBay.

 

The seller said it was silver, and even though mine is Twilight Grey I was happy as it seemed from the photos (and confirmed now that I have it) to be in good condition.

 

However when I got it, it looked...grey. When I looked at it held up against the car, it was obvious that the door is Gunmetal Grey. Haha

 

I've had a couple of quotes. I will probably go with the more expensive one as I got a better vibe from there (and they're closer).

 

I'm getting there.

So sad to see Zeds written off by insurance companies as uneconomical to repair due to their low used prices.

 

Yeah, I hate it as well. I've bought and restored 15-20 370z and 350z over the years. As we speak I've got 5 x 370z working on, restoring. I love seeing them back on the road. :)
