If you find out that a vehicle you want to buy has been assigned Category S or Category N, you should consider this history carefully before making any payments.
It’s important to assess how the damage may have affected the vehicle’s resale value - and its overall quality. Most of the time, Category S and Category N vehicles that have been properly repaired can still be great cars.
However, if your car category check reveals that the vehicle has been assigned Category A or Category B, you should walk away from the sale. You will be unable to insure the vehicle and cannot legally drive it.
