Beware of damaged C6 for sale on Auto trader

[Vet Guru]

Red C6 has gone up for sale on Auto trader and being told it is HPI clear, It has been in a smash so buyer beware before looking.. And make a big adjustment on the price too.

It may be a great car now but I would advise an inspection before buying it.

This is the same car being advertised by 'Class Autos' on PH. I informed them of its past history, by clearly Prestige Car Sales either don't know or don't care.

I was told by them it was bought in the States in 06 and left in storage in the UK since then, And no word of it's time spent in the bodyshop!

I was looking for myself until I found out it was the one that had been in a smash! The photos on Autotrader were pretty poor so I gave them a call. I see now that the car has been removed from Auto trader.

Is there history in the states as well as regarding the Z06 they are selling?

I have checked the VIN on the black car and it does not come up with anything, though this is far from conclusive. I am intrigued as to how they have managed to get the car here for the price and with a margin because I certainly couldn't........
