rabbitstew Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 HPI clear means absolutely nothing. I used to buy smashed up cars and repair them and the amount of cars id get which were insurance write-offs and yet when I HPi checked them they still came up clear. As with any damaged car you have to factor in the cost of repair. Insurance repairers seriously rip insurance companies off with their costs, so the insurance company writes the car off - but any non greedy garage or private individual can repair it for cheaper. If you use 2nd hand bits, then its even cheaper still. The biggest risk is that once you start taking bits off to repair you find other bits which need doing also - and once you get that sump repaired, the engine may show all sorts of problems.... its just the risk you take. That said you can get some bargains and make a few quid out of it all if you know what you are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I thought about offering him £50 for the Brembo`s but I`m guessing they don`t work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
