Selling a Category C car

  • Why didn't his car insurance inform this poor guy he was buying a cat C car and what it means to him .
    Like many posters have said some will not insure it or will ask higher premium for it .
    How did this guys car slip through the net ?

    Well, as expected , he didn't see this as a major issue and was expecting me to come back through him when I wanted to move the car on. He has agreed to take it back and sort me another motor but IF I don't sell it on myself in the meantime, I will be extremely picky this time and expect a considerable favour for the hassle and extreme upset caused.

    From a safety aspect, I have been driving his son about so obviously no concerns there either!

    I also can't understand why the insurance hasn't pointed this out to me but perhaps they just expect you to know.

    untill you have a bump and minus off 25-30% of a payout with the added hassle of going through why you didnt inform them delaying a payout.

    I thought cat C's were stated on the logbook?

    You're right, Cat C should be on the V5.
