chim with no history. Too risky ?
Discussion
I feel quite tempted by a chim in the classifieds advertised for 1O grand, 29000 miles , Rosso with magnolia hide, no history, was damage repaired 2 years ago.
i think a 4 ltr chim would be a good first tvr but i don't want a bad exprience.
I mean i could afford this but would it be a nightmare rather than a dream come true?

This car has been discussed on the Chimaera forum around a month ago when it first went up for sale - have a look through the archives. Lots of opinions.
I would echo that - remember reading about the car. At the end of the day though its VERY cheap for a 1997 car with so little miles. A bit of time and effort spent in sorting it out is likely to increase the value which is a rarity in the world of cars.
If you are on a tight budget, and handy yourself to be able to do the work yourself, it might be a winner. If not, you may want to look out for an older/high mileage car that is in the same sort of price range (give or take a few grand) that is already sorted.

No such thing as no history! Just histories that people don't want you to know about.Lots of nice cars out there to choose from.Car must have FSH otherwise walk away.

When cars get paid out by insurance companies and the insurance sell them as salvage the history is very often lost. Or sometimes the owner at the time would not send it to the insurance company. It is always worth if you are interested in the car to try and contact previous owners. They have no reason to lie about anything and might even have history for it!!
If you know what you are looking at with chimaeras then I can't see that no history would be that much of a problem. If the cars sound the car is sound regardless of its history!!
