I found a few used cars sold privately and checked them out and just
need to check there no finance etc on them and was wondering who does a
very detailed HPI check for a fair price ?

Gulp £20 :-S ... is that the normal charge ? .. I guess in light of what
you may find out its worth it as £20 now vs a moody motor with finance
or written off would be a nightmare.

£10 at RAC for anyone else interested in this. They do the exact same
report aparant just for £10 less. And did include the all important
fiance section which the cheaper options don't.

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.

When I bought a Daimler I paid £400 for an HPI check and a motor
engineers report. I was fairly glad that I paid for it - although it was
HPI clear the rot that the engineer uncovered would have required £3,000
(minimum) to fix. I paid again when I found another one and that was
well worth the cash.

Flinching at paying £20 for an HPI report seems a tad on the
SnapTiteWallet(TM) side.

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...
