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.
That last paragraph sounds vaguely familiar...
