Anyone who sells an accident damaged car without telling the new owner is a dick!

at the end of the day if the purchaser dont ask you dont tell em otherwise they aint gunna buy the car. same as when you sell anything you dont tell them the bad bits

Yes you do.

I guarantee that if it happened to you, youd come on here pissed off about it, I know I would.

If a dealer did it to you, youd be pissed off about it.

And quite rightly so!

Its just conning people to make a quick buck, which could be very dangerous.

Oh f**k off

If its been repaired then what is the problem? Oh sorry love i ran iot the back of someone, f**ked the bumper, bonnet and rad, but its all been replaced. Will she buy it, i think not, een though its got new parts.

At the end of the day it is up to you as the buyer to ask these sort of questions...has it been in an accident? If i was to sell my car in a years time or so and tell them all the sh*t ive had wiht it, all the porblems, all the bumps (not just me), the fact its been ragged round a track....even thought it may well ahve a new engine in it, they would never buy it, if they asked i woudl certainly tell them.

Its like selling a house if you had a fire, someoen comes to view it....this is the kitchen, completely ravages by fire last year had tobe completely rebuilt and most of the house re decorated....not exactly the best selling line is it

For the record ive brought a car, had a a day and the gearbox has started to leak oil, left me with a £1k bill.

Found out when i took the wings off it has had an ccdient on the drivers side, not a problem, you can only tell cus the wing isn;t genuine and you can see where the innner wing has been knocked slightly....not a probelm! everything lines up, drives ok.....wat the f**k does it matter?

at the end of the day if they dont ask them questions you aint gunna tell them regardless.

like goin to buy a new car and the sales person telling you all the sh*t stuff about the car you want obviously you wouldnt buy it then would you.

Fair enough, say your Mum or misses came to buy a car off me, would you be happy if it had been arse ended and just a bit of filler and a quick spray (which a lot of accident damaged cars are).

How long would it be before you were knocking on my door with 3 of your mates "asking" for money back?

Just taking advantage of people IMO, I would always ask questions like that, but I know my Mum wouldnt.

why would i come Knocking on your door at then end of the day she bought the car paid and drove off in it so no going back on that (sold as seen) as long as its safe and fit to be on the road and is a good repair. i personally wouldnt care if it were in an accident long as it get you from A to B

Yeah mate but their not doing that are they. They are actually fixing thme up properly, not filler jobs. Fair enough if some one did that it is certainly not fair, but if the car is in perfect working order, and repaired to a good standard, cant see the issue.
