tobys Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Surprised by lack of genuine interest (though I guess maybe no one is posting questions as my ad is fairly comprehensive?). Still for sale after a week bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 It's an excellent ad, it really is. I suspect the price might be a little off putting, given the damage history, however personally that wouldn't bother me if I was in the market for something like this. It looks to be a great and very honest car, and I love the yellow calipers. Really hope this sells soon, I think it deserves to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobys Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Following a kind member of MLR (thanks mate!) pointing out to me that my car is currently listed as a CAT-D write-off - I have realised that it is (obviously I hadn't HPI checked my own car SINCE I bought it). This is an administrative screw-up by my insurance comany at the time (who've also currently been insuring me since with it not listed as one). I have contacted their complaints department and insisted they remove the 'flag' from the HPI database. Below is a copy of the letter they sent me back in 2012 which confirms it was NOT written off. I'll reply again to this post once I have confirmation from them it is now HPI clear (as it always should have been). Hopefully this hasn't put too many people off - car will be HPI clear before sale! Insurance companies - it's not like we pay them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobys Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm looking to get an Evo, chopping in the zed. Exactly what I did. Loved my Z but just wasn't usable power out here in the countryside. Anything you want to know about my Evo, just ask mate. 👠Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
