Featured Cars

Modern, efficient, and environmentally conscious, electric and hybrid cars are shaping the future of driving. With lower running costs and innovative technology, they offer a smarter way to travel.
What does buying a category car really mean?
Buying a category car can feel intimidating, but it’s really about clarity and value. A category (or “Cat”) car simply means it has had past damage that was recorded by an insurer, and this history is openly declared rather than hidden. Our cars are professionally repaired, drive perfectly well, and offer excellent savings compared to non-category cars. With the right checks and honest information, a Cat car can be a sensible, reassuring choice—giving you confidence, transparency, and great value for money.
Category N
Non-structural damage
Category N
Category N cars have experienced non-structural damage, such as cosmetic panels or electrical components, rather than anything affecting the main structure. This makes them especially appealing, as the core integrity of the vehicle was never compromised. Once repaired, they typically drive just as you’d expect, offering peace of mind alongside excellent value for money.
Category S
Structural damage
Category S
A Category S car has had structural damage in the past, but the important thing is that it has been properly repaired and is now back on the road. These vehicles have been assessed and restored so they can be safely driven again, and their history is clearly recorded for transparency. For buyers, this often means the chance to own a well-repaired car at a noticeably lower price, with full knowledge of its journey.
HPI Clear
No history
HPI Clear
When a car is HPI clear, it means it has no hidden financial or legal issues. This includes outstanding finance, stolen vehicle records, accident write-offs, or mileage discrepancies. Buying an HPI clear car gives you peace of mind, knowing that the vehicle’s history is fully transparent and that you can drive away safely and confidently without unexpected surprises.
Testimonials
I had a great experience buying my car from Hiwood Autohaus. From the first enquiry to driving away, everything felt relaxed, honest, and professional. The team were friendly and took the time to explain the car’s history clearly, which really put me at ease. The car itself was exactly as described and clearly well checked and prepared. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hiwood Autohaus to anyone looking for a trustworthy, family-run dealership.
ANTHONY MARTIN
Buying a car from Hiwood Autohaus was refreshingly straightforward. There was no pressure, no sales talk, just genuine advice and clear information. It’s obvious they care about the cars they sell and the people they sell them to. Everything was explained clearly, the car was clean, well presented, and drove perfectly. It felt more like dealing with people who take pride in their reputation than a typical dealership. I’d happily go back again.
