How to sell a Cat N car for the most money
A repaired Cat N can sell close to book value if you present it right. The photos, the advert, the evidence and the pricing that get you top money.

Lead with honesty
State repaired Cat N clearly and early in the advert. Buyers searching for salvage-history cars are your market, and hiding the marker only attracts buyers who will complain later. Honesty up front filters for the right people and builds instant trust.
Build an evidence folder
Pre-repair photos, parts invoices and a fresh MOT do more for your price than any words. They remove the buyer's biggest fear, a hidden or bodged repair. A documented car sells faster and for hundreds more than an undocumented one.
Photograph it like a dealer
Clean it properly, shoot it in good light against a plain background, and take plenty of angles including the repaired area up close. A rebuilt car that looks cared for signals a quality repair. A dirty car signals a cheap one.
Price against real sold comps
Do not price against clean cars and do not guess the discount. Find sold Cat N examples of the same model and price just under the best of them. The Analyzer's projected resale is built from exactly these sold salvage comps.
Sell it in the right place
Autotrader and eBay reach the widest audience. Facebook Marketplace works for cheaper cars and local cash buyers. Whichever you pick, answer questions honestly and have the evidence folder ready to hand over on collection.
