i m a newbie here! can anyone give me some advise?
there is a W reg IS200 for sale, i check the value of this car on the parkers website, it's around £8200 for the private good, £7300 for the private poor at 75000miles, but on the whatcar website the private is only £7824. i've check the car other day, i found that the exterior and bodywork dont hav any big problems, but when i open the bonnet at the driver side and above headlight, it's easy to sopt that this car has had accident before,it might crash the right hand side of the car, and it's got repaired, also the bonnet is slightly moved to the right hand, but cant really see it! it seems no problems with the engine, the seller told me his brother crashed the car when he was on holiday, he's got hpi cleared as well, does this mean if u had any accidents previously and didnt make the claim,it will not show in the HPI report? how to value this car? is it poor condition?? thnx very much!!!
