Suggestion
Although Cat D is only light damage Chris, unless it's been repaired by a Porsche approved repairer (lifetime guarantee with an annual inspection) I'd be inclined to ignore it, particularly if it's suffered chassis damage rather than just panel damage.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

THought Id found my perfect 996 TT. right coulour ,good spec AND low miles ( http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201405174269116/sort/default/usedcars/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/page/2/radius/1500/body-type/convertible/price-from/22500/make/porsche/model/911/postcode/ct68uf/price-to/25000?logcode=p )
Rang the guy and was told it was a Cat D D'oh
The car does look good but is way over priced for a Cat D but not sure Id buy it even at £18k
Am I wrong to avoid a Cat D?
Although Cat D is only light damage Chris, unless it's been repaired by a Porsche approved repairer (lifetime guarantee with an annual inspection) I'd be inclined to ignore it, particularly if it's suffered chassis damage rather than just panel damage. If you decide to go ahead, get a full independent inspection and don't forget to inform your insurance company.
Plenty of better (undamaged?) cars out there I would think. Keep looking.

You need to see pictorial evidence and the repair bills to a certain the damage levels, if any Chassis damage then best ignored.
Price may be due to claim that it's a Turbo S!
I know it is a contradiction but whilst I'd avoid a Cat D my 944s2 was deemed a cat D with repairable bumper & wing damage
Bought it back then sold it on dirt cheap 25% of insurance settlement to be repaired with second hand parts.
And as far as I can see is still on the road 6+ years later
If you can find what damage was if car is priced accordingly and you can accept you will never get book value........
you are quite correct in fact some in 2004 then the rest in 2005
I suspect it is a badly worded advert as you can get a tiptronic S ( i believe and I am sure Richard will correct me )and people often assume the s means it is a turbo s but the car doesnt have it on the boot lid,they have got a picture of a genuine S on their website so assume they do indeed know the difference
