Thats a joke right, I mean why would the next owner want to know that you might have written the car off, or that the repairs might not have been that good
Also I was always under the impression dealers were under obligation to mention any damage to a car that has been recorded by the insurers, so when/if the next owner finds out, I am sure he'll be well chuffed you kept that to yourself.
The car was not written off and therefore the damage will not be recorded.Also I was always under the impression dealers were under obligation to mention any damage to a car that has been recorded by the insurers, so when/if the next owner finds out, I am sure he'll be well chuffed you kept that to yourself.
Do you honestly think any car that has a little bump is then sold with that clear to see for everyone? I doubt the motor trade would ever sell a single car, even brand new ones.
The dealer asked "Has the car ever been in an accident which resulted in a total loss claim" - I answered NO, which is CORRECT.

Really nothing wrong with that, the dealer would have forgotten you said it was in an accident anyway. When I worked in a car supermarket almost half of the cars we sold had been to a bodyshop at some point, a few panels and a bit of paint isn't worth worrying about.
Since car supermarkets tend to sell ex-hire stuff I believe you - I remember reading a breakdown of the 6 month life of a hire car from one of the big companies - on average 2 of those months are bodyshop time Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
