Anyone know anything about these car text checks?
« on: 14 May 2013, 21:41:16 »

Just had someone message me regarding a car I've got for sale, and said, it says it could be stolen. Anyway done a check myself, now this is the confusing part, it says: No stolen record, then continues to say, may have been stolen but as it's been involved in a plate transfer further investigation is required, any ideas? Now I know it was clear when I bought it, and I've still got the check I done?

Yeah, but years ago, in 2004 I think.

Don't they only send 2 text messages and not 3? Looks like 3 separate messages there.

HPI  is better, for history checks but costs, also your insure's would tell you if it had been stolen/recovered if was recorded.

I thought the auction companies did HPI checks? Assuming you bought it at auction of course.  ::)

Yeah I always use HPI, this was just to see if what the buyer was telling me, was truthful and it was.
