D - Repairable salvage. Minimal damage sometimes stolen and found after claim has been paid, or cost of repair combined with difficulty obtaining new parts to enable a swift repair.
bear in mind that the quota is somewhat open to interpretation
just look at a few salvage yard sales at the
slight! damage on offer - pmsl
here's 2 bad examples
Cat D Front
Cat D Rear
there's some almost clean examples also D listed stolen recovered
Look for yourself here
as you can see - from mild
to wild
as usual despite the industry standardisation - SUX huh
other lists state cat D as :
Vehicle damaged and insurer has decided not to repair
Vehicles replaced under "new for old" schemes (say 50% damage) which would not otherwise have been treated as total losses.
Vehicles which could be repaired by insurer but written off to minimise hire charges, ect
Constructive total loss - the insurer has declined to repair vehicle due to other reasons (not necessarly related to the amount of damage sustained)
blah blah de blah
