Ive bought a car off ebay and the seller is supposed to be dropping it off this evening. Hes just rung to say the logbook is missing and im becoming increasingly concerned. Would anyone be able to do me a free HPI check?
Thanks

no such thing as a free HPI check. The most you can check for free is if its taxed and mot'd.
if in doubt, pay the £3 - £5 .
is it worth loosing your money for a fiver?
Having said all that no logbook isn't the end of the world, i've bought cars from auction with no docs or keys. just takes time and effort to sort it. However, private sale is different.

but if the car is cloned / ringed these checks will only confirm the id thats on the car not its true id i would check the numbers chassis engine and reg also old tax discs for reg if they are there hetched windows ect i know its only 600 but its still worth checking these things

if i was you id ring him up and tell him not to bother delivering the car, no doubt he will be pissed but then he should have the logbook, in my experience with sellers like this there is always something dodgey/wrong with the car, plus now its dark you wont even be able to check the car over....

Not worth the hassle... I assume it wasn't advertised as 'without a V5' so tell him to do one. If he goes on about it, tell him to take his puss for a shite and open a dispute with eBay stating that you're pulling out because a V5 document was not available for the vehicle.
