Can't help you with the hpi, but it does look like a nice car and is well priced. Out of interest, why are you looking to buy another when you already own one?...

Let us know how you get on with the car though.

Yeah all OK, no finance, not written off etc. Not on National Mileage Rgister but that is usually wrong anyway so no real loss.

Thanks Mat. I thought as much. They rarely come up trumps on the mileage register do they?

The problem with the mileage register is anyone can easily input the wrong mileage at change of ownership or transfer to a trader and that then stays on the cars record with HPI. It can have a massive negative impact on the value of a car if your looking to sell privately. Most traders know not to pay too much attention preffering to look at service books and MOT's etc.

Wow. This car sells on Autotrader for £6500 Friday night and is then up at £8999 on Autotrader at a trader's this morning!...

Can't be a bad turn can it?....

Didn't have Xenons, nor fold flat mirrors full history but only part MB (albeit with one stamp missing in the book) but still a pretty good car for £6500!
