New cheap hpi check £3
« on: 09 December 2007, 18:57 »
New cheap hpi check. Just seen it advertised on telly (i know this is probably the wrong slot) if you are buying a car for £3 you text the reg number and you get sent a little history back on the car. Whether its stolen scrapped or has been damamged in the past. I sent a reg plate of my old car and found it had been written off. Quite handy and a whole lot cheaper than paying £30 for a hpi check

I can vouch for the RAC (online and on the web). They even send you a nice PDF of the HPi datasheet to keep.
