When purchasing your car, did you thoughley check for HP Bumps, history? be honest.

[karenmac60]

No, it was new.

[pdq1]

No it was bought from a reputable dealer

[Prudie]

No it came off a boat from Japan.

[ladybirder]

No, bought from a main dealer.

[Graham-W]

Bought at auction so HPI check covered by service charge. Everything else relying on experience.

[woofgang]

This one? No It was new, the last one came second hand from a main dealer, but the one before that, yes absolutely.

[jake-the-peg]

Always wondered who it was buying new cars - guess I know now!

Yep always check HPI

[tonyav]

Yep, every time.

[ummmm]

No. I don't even know what HP bumps means.

Anyway, I've never bought a car. I've been given them :-)

[tonyav]

Bloody show off ( did the plumber give you one ohhhhh matron ) ^^^^

[ummmm]

I wish...lol

I had a car repair business so always had new cars through that. Since then my OH has bought me my cars (second hand)

ps...what are HP bumps?

[EDDIE51]

I've alway bought from friends or people I know. Most I have ever paid for a car is £300 and that is the one I still have after 5 years. Most of my cars have been free or under £100. One of the best was a Granada Scorpio 2.3 cost me £25 , I found a £15 wine voucher in it and it had £40 worth of petrol, when it broke down after 6 months I sold it for scrap for £75.

[tonyav]

You can have the cars HPI checked, this will show if the car has ever been involved in an accident that the insurance companies got involved with and also if there is any outstanding finance owing on it.
Hang on, you had a car repair business ?

[ummmm]

Gotcha...

Yes, I did...but I didn't repair the cars. I looked after the money side of things :-)

It was a smart repair business to start and then we opened a bodyshop.

[tonyav]

Why not running now ?, ( and by the way I will getcha back ) :-)
