Of course we all want a good one, low miles, low owners, service history and well speced, aircon etc. As this post suggests the OPC did not deliver the peace of mind it should have and had this been bought privately there could have been some further issues trying to resolve this. There is a mention of many requiring 5k spending, although the one purchased in the end also had many problems.
I have seen a few people asking the forums ' does anyone know this car' and the chances are if they do it will have been on a track, but could still be well looked after. I have seen a lot of cars for sale with a service due in a couple of thousand miles and the warranty about to need renewing. This seems more the norm.
I will probably have a private inspection carried out on my next car and make the agree to purchase on the basis of it checking out.
What would be your tips for anyone purchasing, especially as most would prefer to go private purchase route. In most cases genuine people trust the HPI results as they know nothing mechanically or bodywork wise.
