If you are buying a car from a dealer do you still need to do a HPI or credit/history check?

Question

Also AA do them and HPI have their own site and others; which one is the official and worthy one to go for? and is there any difference? Thanks

Answer 1

if it's used, absolutely.

i found the deal of a lifetime a couple months ago.  a 2000 toyota corolla with 25K on it for 4K.  something seemed off, so i did a check on the car, it had had an odometer role back a couple years prior, but the dealer was selling it as a low mileage one owner car.
