Hi Chaps,
I am the owner, or was.
The car is now sold for a small profit, sorry if this upsets the previous owner you did sell it far below its market value, and as for not notifying people of its past that’s not true, they have all been shown the receipts for the repairs and told in person of its past.
Regards: ALAN

no axe to grind here mate, I sold the car to you for what it was/is worth, and I was very happy to sell it for that price , the fact remains you were/are trying to sell it for non accident damaged price , good luck to you if someone is foolish enough to pay top dollar for it without checking it out.
I do have emails from forum members asking about the car and its history since you put the ad up, firsly for 8k I was told and then for 11.5k ,hence my post originally , perhaps if you had been upfront wrt to the car in your advert you would have saved me having to reply to peoples emails and questions on the car.

There are 2 posts ongoing at the moment concerning this matter. It has now become obvious Alan that the previous owner, the gentleman you purchased the car from, declared to you its history, and the fact it was an insurance loss,so you knew this and did not declare it in your advert, not very honest that im afraid, and also illeagal. If i had purchased the car off yourself and could prove you knew it was an insurance loss and had not declared it so i would sue your aI am the owner, or was.

e off. Dont try and con people to make a quick buck.
Feel a lot better for that.Greed Greed Greed, guilty!
I would love to make a profit from the sale of a car, as throughout my life traders have screwed me and made a profit from me, is it illegal to ask more than you paid?
The fact remains the chap that had the car before me gave the car away and for once I was the lucky one, I have had me fun and want something different, despite what many PHers say on this thread, any one that comes to look at the car will be showed the receipts for the extensive work by a past owner and there would be no hiding the past of the car, I suspect its in far better condition than most and its one of the few Chims that most parts are only 8 years old.

A car being an insurace write off is a big thing, especially to a prospective buyer. It's also a big act of omission not to mention it in an advert(in my opinion). I for one would be a bit annoyed if i'd travelled a long way/expended time to look at a car to find out on arrival that it's been a write off. Good luck to you if you got a good price for the car - I'd considered looking at it, but in retrospect I'm glad I didn't bother.

Still not illegal Alex. Although it certainly should be.Always always always HPI a car before buying.
