BAAAh sadly the car I was looking at is a CAT C writeoff and the chap
said it was HPI clear with report no doubt made on photoshop!

I thought it was too good to be true. Time to find something more realistic.

Good job you have a suspicious nature. Many would take it at face
value.



I only trust my dear ole' mum but not before putting her through an
terrogation

Joking aside, I always treat all used cars I look at with something
sinister to hide and sometimes they do have something dodgy about them
or such like. Rarely you find an honest seller, everyone tries to hide
something.

I flick every switch push every button check every little detail I can
without stripping the engine down

I think its all the horror stories I've hard about lemon cars so am very
cautious.


I just checked on another car, came up as clean on the HPI except having
had another plate which looked like a personal plate, no interest from
anyone on either of the plates. Looking good so far, will give it a
butchers tommorow.
