- Should you buy a CAT N car, or buy a damage repairable vehicle as a motor trader
What is a category car? we don't just talk the talk here, we show you real examples from start to finish.
Have you ever heard the auctioneer say a car is a CAT N or CAT S? or read it on an eBay or Autotrader ad?
Have you ever wondered what that actually means?
Are they good cars to buy as a motor trader or should you avoid them like the plague?
A real CAT N car that wasn't a CAT anything when I bought it.
If you are thinking about buying a CAT N or CAT S car, then let me explain it all to you, what exactly is a CAT, what do you need to look for when buying one, and let's answer the question...
"Should driveway traders buy a CAT N vehicle???"

**This vehicle was in an accident while I was driving, it was hit by a vehicle owned by Davies Contractors Ltd of Newport, the driver later claimed that I had reversed into him, and we had a month of investigation to determine that their story was physically impossible**
If you cause an accident, be a good human and don't cause further stress to the victim, admit it and let the insurance company sort it out.
The reason why our insurance premiums go up as a nation is due to the insurance companies clawing back their losses, just admit you are at fault. - Авто та транспорт
Got to hand it to you Steven you know your stuff
Need more videos, been too long! Great content
Hey Ross
Thanks mate, I had a serious car accident a while back and only just been up to making video's, they will be regular from now on.
@@Stevesautos sorry to hear about that, hope all is now well, I look forward to seeing more 👍
Awesome thanks
Great to see you back Steven !!
This was super helpful , thank you
Thanks man, glad it helped.
Great video
Thanks mate, glad you found it useful.
Welcome back mate look forward to more content now you back up and running 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Great and very informative videos mate. Personally I wouldn't name who's ran into me.
It's people like this guy who are the reason all our insurance premiums go up, he ran in to the back of me, took responsibility and then a few days later claimed I reversed in to him, that could have cost me my no claims and my premium going up next year. What it actually did was cost the insurance company to investigate, plus a hire car for every day they they took to prove it.
I think people who do this should be named and shamed, especially as my insurance company proved he was in the wrong. I personally think people who lie in these situations should be prosecuted.
Hi Steven, make sure to also have your video title in the description to enhance its performance on UA-cam!
Thanks man,
An oversight on my part, I appreciate it.
Hi Steve, love the videos and the knowledge you give to us guys looking to start out in the motor trade, thank you so much!
I have two quick questions if thats okay
1. Where/How do you go about finding trade prices for cars, is there a best website?
2. Why are cars priced at £...95? Why would you price a car at £995 rather than £1000?
Looking forward to seeing more of your honest videos about the industry!
Good video with some good sound advice
Glad you enjoyed it
Great content, what was your race car?
Good info! Good to see you back, could you dolly trailer cars home from auction? What kind of trade insurance would you need?
Hey Nick
Dolly trailers are a whole subject on their own, so in basic terms when using a dolly, the vehicle has to be taxed as it has two wheels are on the public road, but it doesn't need an MOT as it isn't being propelled by itself. These type of vehicles (CAT) usually lose the MOT and are stripped of the tax when registered as a CAT vehicle.
You also have to consider the combined weight of the vehicle and dolly against the maximum load weight of the tow vehicle.
So if buying from a normal auction then you can usually use a dolly, but a CAT vehicle usually not.
What’s your preferred avenue of selling a car ? If you don’t mind me asking . Great information 👍🏻. Keep them coming.
Hey
Usually Autotrader, but it really does depend on the car, for very cheap motors Facebook marketplace or gumtree, I find Autotrader gets a better price compared to Ebay.
