Grundy Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I think we need some off topic stuff to keep us busy in the mean time, like we did with Max Revs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a perfect starter - Would anyone be interested in a set of pristine 4 point SABELT Harnesses in Blue? Was on a drive earlier to work and thought....Ooo I have something I should sell.

Corrected Edit: Bradders, can you change the title to include "here be dragons" at the start, just as a warning to others Don't be molesting my posts Yeah, it needs to be somewhat on topic or it'll either get moved or locked and I really want to find out what happens, this is like 350z-uk.com's equivilent of a 3 part love saga. Also, we should have a forum gold sub forum where good threads reach the end of their life, get locked and moved to a forum for historical purposes.

AliveBoy Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Just for keeping it on topic ish, what's everyones buying process? I'd say an HPI check is fairly middle of the way I do things once I'm keen enough to buy it, but not so far in I've wasted time.

I'd say an HPI check is fairly middle of the way I do things once I'm keen enough to buy it, but not so far in I've wasted time. I go to see a car, get my rose-tinted glasses out and see past all the dents, scratches and fire damage, pull the cash out my pocket regardless of condition, my girlfriend tugs me..................................... away and tells me to be smart, I then go away, hpi it, then realise it's shite/good and either move on or buy it.

I'd say an HPI check is fairly middle of the way I do things once I'm keen enough to buy it, but not so far in I've wasted time. Mine was, Call them up on a wednesday, tell them I want it, wake up early saturday, get on the train, stop off in town to collect £7k Cash. Go for a coffee, get on the train to my destination. Get picked up by the sellers wife in her range rover from the station, taken to there house. Husband just arrives home. Look over the car, go out for a test drive ( He drives, I sit in the passenger seat playing with the heated seat button) Test the radio. I then sit in the drivers side, ask why the **** wont it start? 'Push the clutch in'. Pop the bonnet, check over to see if it all looks okay. Check the tyres, brakes, check for marks on the car to barter the price over. Go inside his house, sit down, have a coffee, shows me log books, MOT, Receipts etc, talk about money, barter too hard, only knock off £300 from asking price. Take keys, drive home with smile on my face. That is exactly how I bought my car, sod HPI Oh and I was on my own, and they were a lovely polish couple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 You can use My Car Check on line for about £3 - 50 and you get a £10k insurance with that in case they missed anything. Well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemansim Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 A lot of the cheap checks don't tell you if there is any outstanding finance on the car though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren350 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 A lot of the cheap checks don't tell you if there is any outstanding finance on the car though Agreed. I used the expensive one to be on the safe side. Cost like £20 or £30 for three so I got 3. Only used one though. Other ones have expired. Oh well. On another note, if Brad does buy mine it will be the one car he's been interested in that hasn't even been advertised, haha Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren350 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Yeah but his reason was the fact it was a write off and didn't want the people he was trying to sell it to to find out, haha I've pretty much scripted my entire advert but was waiting until closer to the baby arrival time to advertise it.
