Ok, I'm gonna leave it unless it goes for a bargain price.
First of all, A BIG THANKYOU to all
, I have greatly appreciated all your input and opinions with which without I may have made a costly mistake because of my impatience.
I have spoken to the seller, he seemed like a respectable and decent chap. I explained it is showing as stolen and recovered on the HPI check. He says he HPI checked it and it came up clean 2 years ago when he purchased it. He seemed quite supprised and said if he knew he would have declared it in the advert and probably would never had purchased it. He will look into it and get back to me out of courtesy.
So far its cost me £20 for the Bankers Draft, £10 for the HPI check and £27 to cancel the insurance, a lot less than it could have cost me.
Still on the lookout for an ed30 but unless I find one in the next month my ride is gonna be a 1996 1.4 Peugeot 106
Thanks again.
