Hi
Would anyone bother paying for a HPI check if buying a used (demonstrator) from a BMW main dealer?
Cheers

No, they should provide you with one.

Dealers do a HPI check when they buy a car to ensure a) it has not been subject to an insurance write off b) its not stolen & c) to ensure that there is no outstanding finance.
Though a HPI is never final. The dealer I work at brought a vehicle in from another trader HPI clear & a week later the vehicle was seized by police after they picked it up on ANPR driving past.... It was stolen from someones house with keys & log book whilst they were away on a long holiday. Hence the HPI coming up clear when we brought it from the other trader....

I bought my D3 fully aware it was Cat d stolen recovered, as my mileage wipes any resale off them anyway. Did a hpi, but it came back clean. Had to do another from a different company to show the cat d details. Wasn't worth the paper it was printed on, complete waste of money. Pot luck I reckon as to whether you get a truthful report.
If I made a claim for loss of value, do you reckon I'd get anywhere, considering the car was advertised as such? Long shot Id say...
