was a luvly n-reg t-bar mr2, uk spec everything i wanted for a very cheap price.. even more it was a near exact colour to Ampero Blue :drool:

 

so cheap it was too perfect X(

 

was ready to sort a deal today but wanted to hpi check it first..

 

Thank F*ck i did! came up as a Catagory D Write off. We noticed that the front had been resprayed but the seller seemed quite genuine and said the bumper had just been replace :(

 

so it's back to the search :nutter:

i think you should have a close look again cos category D isn't necessarily that bad as long as it's been repaired to a good standard... get AA or RAC to check it out

Yea, but insurane companys can be very very warery of a car re-built after a write off unless it was a reshell.

:O i didn't know there could be insurance problems... once upon a time i was gonna do a CAT C focus > RS replica X(

 

that could have been an error.......

but the paint was patchy (not done to a good standard) so how do i know the rest of the repairs was not done on the cheap? ?(

 

also the guy told me, any damage had been done before he brought it cos the guy he got it off told him about the bumper being resprayed.

 

the hpi check says that the claim was made in march 04, at this time the current seller had been the owner for 5 months!

 

therefore if he lied about this maybe there is more hidden secrets, no history with the car at all :O

 

walkin away and not thinkin about that one again :)

HPI saves the day again, definatly worth paying for :thumb:

defo walk away from that matey. some nice mr2's out there.

best thing to do is to walk away if your unsure of it

yep... i parent's won't buy a car unless they know the person who owned it, let alone without history X(

 

good call... sorry about that but my dad's mate specialises in repairs and hence there can be some good ones around :thumb:

Mate id leave it, gotta be very warey of m2's in particulary for stolen. Althou its uk spec still if you can check all the details dont bother cause waynes car was stolen and it wasnt till he checked the log book in detail he noticed it was one digit out ;( and what have i told you bout the none turbo :P gonna look silly when i got my in december if u dont get one

good call getting it checked ant

 

why not buy something newer, less likely to fall apart and cost big bucks per month

Edited by JonC

good job u checked mate. thats the reason it was cheap :D

Personally I wouldn't of even wasted my money on an HPI check if it had no history. I wouldn't even have gone to see it!

 

Save yourself some time Ant and ask losts of questions before going to see any!

 

But I'm sure you will find one soon :D

only if there was a claim against the car, the last car the ex wrapped around something was a right off to most but cos it was only TPFT we never made a claim so god knows where it is now (literally cos it was stolen from the car park with no front end X( :vangry: )
