ATTAK Z Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 not sure if it is Gunmetal (grey) or Blade (which is silver) GM IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray1st Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I've dug a little deeper into this car, and it is HPI clear as far as the basic checks are concerned so no insurance claims against it. I've asked the seller for the relevant mileage details, registration document serial number and issue date along with te VIN number in order to do these checks, however i've been told that he can't give this info over E-mail. Being a relative car trading novice, is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laponator Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I've had that happen to. Its just a security issue over cloning. Some do most don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray1st Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I thought it may be a security issue for someone perhaps swapping reg plates on the car, but wasn't sure. They mentioned that the car is HPI clear and was checked before purchase. Is it possible or just cheeky to request a copy of their HPI certificate? Any advice?

Laponator Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 You can get your own HPI check for a matter of pounds. Mine cost £3.95. Type HPI into google and then follow the relevant site. You'll get the answer immediately. Even tells you what the last mileage was recorded at its last MOT etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laponator Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 sorry forgot to say all you need on some sites is the Reg. No. so you won't need vin numbers etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray1st Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I did a basic HPI Check on hpi.co.uk but it doesnt come back with any mileage details? Although it does say No mileage discrepancy is currently recorded on the national mileage register (nmr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laponator Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I can't remember what site I used. Ill check my computer at work tomorrow and post a reply.£3.95 got me accident damage/stolen recovered/mileage and outstanding finance reports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray1st Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Be good if you could, I think it'd be worthwhile doing a check on the mileage aswell. I'm hoping to go and take a look at the car tomorrow so fingers crossed. Has anyone used an independent engineer to give the car a once over? If so, other than the obvious AA and RAC, can anyone recommend a company they have used and found the report given to be of use Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gray1st Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Thanks for that, did a check, but no mileage was shown :S Another quick question (sorry), can you have a non GT Spec with leather interior etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5259 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 some people swap the leather for cloth, especially if they are doing a lot of track days so you might find a non-GT with leather. This one is a genuine GT (as was previously stated) since it has all the buttons on the steering wheel as well as the leather seats. Oh, and to the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
