General 100hpJames's Panda back from the scrap!
probably doesn't drive too well after having nearly 1000kg of car dumped on it
either that of they've been here and read this.
...or maybe spotted signs of crash damage repair and decided not to risk their safety.
I emailed the seller yesterday, before I realised that the car looked familiar.
The seller (seems foreign) replied to say the car was in excellent condition with no accidents/claims/finance on it.
The question is - how good are the repairs? It makes you wonder why he is selling so cheaply? He MUST know about the cars history - either that or the repairs have been bodged and he has found out - maybe went to a garage for a service or tracking check or something and they told him to get rid - sharpish!
Whatever, it seems that this car should not be on the road and more importantly, how the hell has it bypassed the "total loss" loop? That is very concerning....

There's nothing to say it shouldn't be on the road, it could have been quite correctly repaired. The history should be made clear to a buyer though.
I recon Channel 5's fifth gear ought to buy it and do one of these crash test's like what they don't with the two Ford Focus's, one of with was a repaired total loss.

Yes, I understand that - however, the fact that its being sold for £3500 makes you think that the seller has found something majorly wrong with it and wants rid fast.
If its not with HPIs records, why doesnt he sell for £5500 in autotrader/free ads etc?
He must have discovered something and is cutting his losses.

If thats the guy that won the ebay auction at 6000 pounds then he is taking a huge knock by selling it for 3500 hence he must have found something out about it
You also have to ask why they haven't changed the bloody plates!
Yea, for £200 I'd stick a cheap set of Northern Ireland plates on. Make it harder for us lot to track, lol.
my baby's famous! lol

I'm not convinced the "light" panel damage is referring to the reason it was written off Would be interesting to see a copy of the inspection report though....

LOL private listing protecting bidders identities......
thing is, it may be listed as HPI clear if someone hasn't recorded it, but it HAS been in a total loss claim, and I told the guy so :S

LOL. Got this reply today. What a complete, total and utter gimp.
PLease substantiate your claims, Otherwise what you have written is slander, and i can and will follow up with a legal prosecution.

I got a reply back. He's said that he's had a gold hpi check done and it came back clear. This sounds like the same thing that happened last time. Someone bought it with a clear hpi check when it shouldn't have come up clear. Did we ever establish why the hpi check came back clear last time?
At the risk of sounding unpopular, I'm wondering if the current seller has fallen victim to the same thing as the last guy who sold it, ie, got an hpi check and then found out after that this wasn't quite right. From his email to me he sounds like a reasonable sort of chap.
cheers
