As a serial car buyer I'm pretty thorough with my research before even going to view. Usual stuff like HPI, MOT History, calling dealerships if possible etc ctc.

I'm equally thorough with inspection, even having a paint thickness gauge to check for repairs.

I'm just curious to hear of any tales where people may have got stung buying a used car in recent times; with all the available data online and ease of being able to check things out.

20 years ago it was far more difficult to avoid something dodgy and one had to really know what to look for and where to check.

Anyone got any horror stories?
