    A trader cannot sell 'sold as seen' to the general public.

    Thats what I thought.

    Agreed, a load of tosh, the vehicle has to be at least " fit for purpose ".

    Which one? There's only 3 in the country and I'm not sure which one would be closer to you.

    Northampton, fair play to them; they honoured there 'lowest price guarantee' - a day after we agreed the original deal - when I found a similar model at Car Giant, London.

    Have you bought the car yet. I could HPI it for you if you like before you buy it.

    they say all vehicles are HPI checked

    borrowed at 7.3% APR from the Co-op via the company suggested on the loans area of MoneySavingExpert.

    I wouldn't place too much confidence in the RAC Approved tag either.

    It hasn't got an "RAC Approved Tag" as such, it is an RAC Warranty administered by TWG.

    I'm just playing devils advocate though cos I don't think I would buy one.

    Yeh they are. I just thought you might want to make sure the car is what they say it is as I don't think they actually show you the Hpi. Not that I don't trust them but some salesmen can be naughty/stupid.
