Default Best Hpi check company

Looking at a car later. Won't buy without a check but they seem to vary in price between £20 and £40.

Do they all give the same info and which one is recommended?

RAC one is only £20.

Cheers.

A 4x4 saph in Essex. Sounds decent enough and photos look good. Its the first i'll have looked at and is fairly cheap at £4k so not expecting it to be mint but you never know.

Hpi or Experian.

Everyone else is only getting their information from them anyway

If it's only a cheap car then I'd agree, but the indemnities on some of them are shit so just check through the T's +C's and make sure you're happy
