Trust the dealer's HPI check?

[FONT="]I’ve put a deposit on a car. The dealer showed me a printout of the HPI check. Do you think I should do my own HPI check? If so, is there a cheaper one than the RAC’s £15.51? Thanks![/FONT]

Hi if its a genuine dealer then I would trust this, otherwise you could return the car! Dealerships build the cost of an HPI into the purchase price (I know this because my husbands a car sales guy!)0

Any doubts then get your own, Unless the car is not worth risking £15 for?
Cheaper options are a waste of money. Send me £1 by text and i will use my crystal ball to see if the
car is dodgy. Conditions apply... Crystal ball is not accurate on any day with the word day in it.
I presume the cheapo checks got their crystal ball from the same reject shop in china.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
if you havent got faith in the dealer not blunt instrumenting the hpi with his john bull outfit and cutnpaste skills why are you buying a charabanc off him?0

In Scotland, if its not a private sale the car is yours! It's the dealers responsibility to settle outstanding finance.
Private sale, thats another matter...0 -
