HPI Report - Can anyone help please? Son's first car

[RobbieM-Evo]

Willing to send you a few Calendars from our Website as payment……

Been to see 6 Polo's now for my Son all described as in perfect condition only to get there and find dents, scratches and kerbed wheels etc etc

One I was told had full service history only to find 7 years missing!!!

This one has come up and it's well over budget but have done a deal over the phone. (Not paid yet)

After a long conversation explaining the above and the Lady that owns this car is very genuine.

So if I PM you the reg can you help please as this will save him/us a few ££££.

His test is next Thursday and I would really like to have a car on the driveway ready for him.

Thank you

Feel free to PM the reg. I have family who can run checks through their employer (Brindley Garage).

If you do end up paying for an HPI check, it's worth noting that the RAC one is £5 cheaper (£14.99) than the HPI official check.

By the way, Polo's make excellent first cars! Though I wish I'd not been as fastidious when buying mine as I ended up with a money pit. Don't worry, it was due to the way the car had been treated rather than any reliability problems.

Thank you both!

Car is 58 plate, Silver, 3DR, 1 Lady Owner, 30,000 miles and it's a Polo Match with the iPod dock so ticks a lot if not all the boxes!

Just bear in mind that when paying for a check yourself you get insurance in the event that their information is incorrect and you have subsequent problems.

The reports are not always correct - I know from experience that they definitely do make mistakes (a potential buyer of a car I once sold was given grossly inaccurate information about my car).

Ahh I see, my last 2 cars have been new so I'm a little out of touch with it all.

I think by the time we view if the OP has not been successful then I will do the RAC one it is only £14.99 I thought they were £35.

Cheers

£14.99 is still a lot to pay, a ph'er owns icarcheck and that's only a few quid to use. Not sure which is the website though as I have the app downloaded. < £5 should do it from one of several sites.

Eta think it's this one,phone numbers match
