HPI Checks, money worth spent!
You wouldn’t buy a house or look into equity release schemes without getting a survey done on it, so why buy a car without a HPI check? In the paper, you’ve found that perfect sports car, convertible, red colour, apparantly low mileage, with full electrics and CD changer, for a rather cheap price. The question is though, is it too good to be true?
Buying used cars is a bit of a risk, however, you stand to save lots of money if you go for a used car, compared to a new car. According to WiseBuyer’s Guides, if you bought a Peugeot 206 new from the showroom, it would cost over £8000, yet if you bought it a year later, it would be £5000. There are substantial bargains to be had on used cars, but it’s worth doing your homework before trading cash.
HPI checks cost as little as £10, and have even entered the world of texting, where for as little as £3, you can get a HPI sent to your phone. All you need is the number plate of the car in question to check its history. For £10, you can find out if the car you intend to buy is stolen, written off, on finance, plate transfers, number of owners, date first registered, mileage and plate transfer. Finding out about this information beforehand could save you a lot of time, money and hassle later on. You don’t want to buy that new, shiny sports car, thinking you had a bargain when all the time it was stolen, written off, or even had its mileage tampered with. Some of them will even tell you the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by the car, so you could save money and the environment by knowing the cost of running this car.
HPI checks are the best thing since sliced bread for potential car owners. Instead of rushing into a purchase, you can find out what’s really under the bonnet with just a simple click or text!
