Zedrush Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 I really like, just called them up as might b interested, but they are two Indians who are running the firm in Birmingham so cant really trust them, Ricky you know how dodgy Indians can be Quote
monkfish Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Hmmm.......... "this car has had very light vandal damage and now it is in prestige condition" Why would a dealer even mention that if it has ben "very light" damage. Quote
Sarnie Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Just realised that this garage is about 4 miles from me....and it is in a very dodgy part of brum Quote
rickya Posted May 14, 2007 Author Posted May 14, 2007 Wondering if it may be a Cat-D, hence they mentioned vandal damage? Could be worse though, could be sold by locals from Casablanca! Quote

lomoto Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Nice one for finding out Why not send your info. to trading standards, someone could end up getting seriously injured or worse by muppets selling stuff such as this To be honest a car dealer is under no obligation to disclose if a car has been subject to a Cat d or c write off claim, if the customer asks outright"has this vehicle been subject to a total loss claim " obviously the trader would then have to disclose the facts.. but as the law stands ,so long as the vehicle is in roadworthy condition no offence has been committed Quote
holtehero Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 i guess some of you guys must have access to HPI at work, otherwise its an expensive hobby checking something like this I know this is a bit off topic, but which service is best to use as i want to run an HPI on a car i'm going to look at this week (forever cautious), its got a private plate but i guess that won't affect the HPI will it? Back on topic, how many people would really expect to get a 911 for that money without something being wrong with it, as soon as you look at it the alarm bells start ringing Quote

Back on topic, how many people would really expect to get a 911 for that money without something being wrong with it, as soon as you look at it the alarm bells start ringing use the original HPI check , there are others but the trade seem to rely on the HPI company as the class leader (I know I do ) private plate changes will be listed on HPI check along side any bad history gathered on the appropriate plate Quote

I know when you sell your house it's no longer buyer beware - if you know something, but don't get asked about it at the time, you can still be held to account if it can be shown later you knew (or that you reasonably should have known). Think that's right Digsy? Quote
