Missus is looking for a cheap runabout and has found something which looks ideal and is quite reasonably priced.

Anyway did a quick HPI check on the car and its come back as recorded stolen when it was 7 months old, with the statement "Ownership rests with insurers who can repossess the vehicle."

The vehicle is now 10 years old, so surely they aren't still going to be interested after this period of time? And its been through a couple of owner changes since and has obviously been insured so they would have tracked it down by now you would have thought...

Anybody able to advise? Worth buying or give it a miss?

Cheers

John

 

Bump, anybody?

 

contact the insurers and see what they say; i guess it will depend on the value of it

 

Nothing spectacular mate, its a 700quid Micra lol.

 

As above,give em a call,it should say on hpi what the companies name/contact number is.as said,I very much doubt they'll be interested as it's been thru so many owners and no ones been caught!!!

 

thats a strange, one, but gievent he time i wouldnt be worried int he slightest, i cnt belive people hpi shitters these days lol

 

Worth checking especially as log book loans secured against the car apparently show up on the HPi etc. I know its only £700 but for the sake of shelling another £20 out or losing the car etc its worth it, yes?
