Hi Adam , thought i would post this

, http://www.copart.co.uk/c2/homeSear...e2s1&lotId=15562420&returnPage=SEARCH_RESULTS

Its a perfect example of the lack of rhyme or reason that insurance companies use to catergorize cars today , this is cat X in other words the least amount of damage and or stolen recovered

In my view that should be Cat C with the legs bent and twisted , but with the right gear easily pulled and straightened but definately a C

The Aston on the previous thread should of been Cat X not a Cat C

Its really about some insurance companies bending the rules to reclaim their losses , its worth a lot more as an X rather than a C about £10K difference at the auction

Yeh see what u mean thats a Cat d really but then they have removed the parts so in essance its parts missing mostly and not damaged.
I guess the aston was a great car to buy then but deep pockets may be needed.
Have you ever seena DB9 Cat damaged sell?

What do you mean not damaged Adam , take another look at the main chassis legs from a frontal view there bent and twisted

OK not badly damaged then..
But i get your point they catagorize based on the insurers personal opinion and potential financial losses.
Now i want that Aston......Nah not my sort of car really.
I looked at aston before i went maserati and was going to spend a lot more on a toy.
I just couldnt see the car as an everyday ride and the interior was almost untouchable..frightened to get into it and get it dirty.
Cant explain it but i have hankered after an aston for an age and when i finally got to drive one i didnt like it as much as i thought i would.
It has a very untouchable element to it and as i said 6 monthly services and so on made me rethink my priorities.
I would certainly consider a lightly damaged Grancabriolet should one appear...
