what does this mean....??

Quote
CHEAP PRICE. Why?
AS CONFIRMED ON HPI CHECK AND HISTORY PRINT OUT
CHEAP PRICE
WHY ?
SADLY HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO AN INSURANCE CLAIM
CAR WAS PUT BACK ON THE ROAD,
AND HAS SINCE BEEN MOT'D
AND USED BY THE LAST NEW OWNER
SO NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ANY ADDITIONAL CHECKS
THIS INFO IS ALSO CONFIRMED BY HPI

...am I missing something here?

maybe they wanted some parts off it for something else... and it was cheaper to buy the whole car and remove what they wanted and try and sell it for more to an unsuspecting buyer

similar thing happend when i bought my SB3, the garage sold it and it was back up for sale as a private sale through the original garage for more than the original

In answer to JJ comment. I think it means that anyone on this forum is unlikely investigate this offer.
I think the person is trying to explain some of the cars history and garbling / confusing the message.

also just thinking that some of the stuff musmart did to that brabus was unique, as a result some of the ideas may have been copied or nicked.
