HPI Check problems???
rayward - 26/8/07 at 07:12 AM

anyone know the score if an HPI check comes back with problems?.

i HPI'd a bike i was going to buy yesterday, and it came back with 3 problems, one being the bike had been damaged in the past (which the seller told me about and the price was adjusted accordingly).

one showing the bike had outstanding finance, and one showing insurance theft.

how do you go about checking up on these results, an maybe getting them resolved?.

cheers
Ray

Walk away. I've tried in the past and failed to be able to resolve outstanding finance issues.

and bear in mind i think they give you a free second hpi check if the first comes back bad.

As said before- walk away! outstanding finance will transfer to YOU so making the buy rather expensive depending on how much is owed.
If you do it (hpi) over the phone they will tell you who the finance company are and give you a ref. number. A friend of mine had this on a Nissan Navaro, it still had over 10k outstanding and he was buying it for 15k so a total of 25k! The finance company said he was allowed to sell it but the finance would transfer to the new keeper. We walked away.
