Hi all.
Well I went to see a rather nice g60 the other day, which I was going to swap for my mk3 Golf 16v. It had 120k on it, and the charger had been serviced by Jabbasport (stage4) about 10k ago. When I arrived the car was stunning in the v.dark purple colour...and was sitting on a set of refurbed BBS wheels. ..the engine sounded sweet....and hardly any marks on the paintwork. The other guy liked mine, so deal was almost done. Yet when I was lookin through the reciepts, I noticed it had been stolen and recovered...and it also had had £3000's worth of accident damage repaired in 2001 (most of it bodywork, but the sump had also been replaced as part of the job)! None of this showed up on the useless HPI check I did prior to going up (and he didn't warn me either!)...and on top of that the guy was selling the car after a month of owning it.
So, after a long hard think about it...I decided to leave the car even though it looked so good! Was this a bit over-cautious, or do you guys think I was right to leave it behind?
