Car Owner Check
With over 400,000 cars stolen every year you need to
check that the seller is the legal owner. A used car history check can do this and a
report from Car Check can tell you this and
more about the history of the car.
If you buy a car which is then reclaimed by the owner or
by an insurance company that has paid out following the reported theft, then you can lose
both your money and the car.
Nearly half a million cars are recorded as
insurance write-offs. However many are soon put back on to the road with cosmetic repairs.
if a car is not safe you could lose more than your money.
Here are some tips to consider when buying a car from an
individual. Always make sure you know, and have proof of the identity, of the person you
are buying the vehicle from. Do not meet them at work or anywhere other than at their home
address. You the buyer should go to the seller. Don't let them bring the car to where you
live or work, they may not just be being helpful. Instead, the buyer should insist on
meeting the seller at the sellers home, and make sure that you both go inside - don't deal
standing outside on the pavement. You want to be sure that the person really does live
there, and ask to see either a passport or driving license with a photograph, and a recent
utility bill showing their address. You should also consider going with someone else if
you have any concerns about going alone to see someone you do not know.
