Hi Anyone,
i have seen a e5 gsr in white 27,000 miles no history few receipts no mods alarm,ok here goes
Saw the car and noticed that the chassis number(on bulkhead)had been modified chassis number still there and lots of other numbers stamped on a new plate welded over the original area where number should be,next to it where model plate should be has been removed and a new plate with matching numbers as that on new chassis plate.
Next to that is a sticker with phone number on 0777**** so i phoned the number!!!!
To cut a long story was transferd to hampshire police(spoke to there serious vehicle crime unit(but made a rare discovery a very helpful and cheerful police DC)!!! it seems that this car has been ringed and the police identified it and have given it new chassis plate etc (original numbers but new plate due to original one being hacked out by theives)and these other plates to ensure if anyone goes to purchase this car they will be aware of its previous past
Then i carried out a hpi to see what else it threw up and its a cat c total loss as far as i can see its had a hard rear end badly repaired as sound deadning pads put over poor repairs in boot and paint on rear quarters is poor,rest of the car is ok paint work very dull,filthy interior alloys badly corroded ,discs and pads badly corroded no mot or tax
So not much wrong with it!!! and of course the owner denies all knowledge of its past ,forgot to mention the front bumper is shoved across
Please help whats it worth???????
