Although, it seems increasingly common for finance to be outstanding when vehicles are offered for sale - hence the need for HPI, I suppose. Mine was no different but I just paid part of the purchase price (actually most of it) to the finance company to clear their interest in it.
If I hadn't recently got mine, I'd have been seriously interested in this car - hope it's as good as it looks.
Right now, with SRTs, it seems the opposite is true of NAs; coupes are harder to find than roadsters - I know there are actually fewer roadsters but it looks like SRT coupe owners are hanging on to their cars - I can totally understand that!
Well after many phone calls and chasing folks I finally resolved HPI issues and now have a clear HPI report on the irish SRT. It seems its reg number used to be on a Chrysler Sebring over there, and at that time Santander placed "a financial interest" on the Sebringt. Later on the Sebring reg number ends up on this XFire and the Sebring history carried forward with the number! After finaly getting Santander to investigate it they agreed this was result of their mistake and removed the HPI entry completely, then informed HPI and now its clear! Phew what a **** up!
So Im off to Belfast next Weds to collect!
