HPI Query

[jb2]

Hi All,

I'm currently looking to purchase a car and the one I am interested in is showing as a total loss on HPI .... I've queried this with the dealer and what appears to have happened is the plate was on a similar car that was involved in an accident, the plate was subsequently put on this car a year later (same make and model car, which is believable as the private plate is specific to this model).

I've been provided with confirmation from HPI to support this, the dates and VIN clearly show the accident was on a different car - my concern is when I come to sell it and whether the interest can be removed? (I will be putting my own plate on the car anyway).

Does anyone have any experience in this, does the above sound correct and still worth considering the car?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Jon
