Im trying to buy a vehicle, and the trader selling it told me the story behind how he got hold of it, and that the registered keeper on the logbook is now in prison for various offences (some including drug dealing, money laundering... the usual list that you would expect to see! ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
)
Im thinking with the guys previous, the car may have a PNC marker on it but dont know for sure.
Thinking of this, it does put me off and id decided not to buy it on viewing.
However the car is a very very nice example, in absolutely flawless condition with good mileage/paperwork, and the price is just in my budget, I do want it, but decided against it. The only real thing putting me off is knowing its current registered keeper is a convicted felon![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
If I was to buy this car, and register it to myself, would it being on the PNC affect me in any way? (im not dodgy
just dont agree with getting pulled over minutes after going through any ANPR camera) ![Red Faced](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
Are there any traffic police officers or policemen/women with access to PNC able to give me an answer. Im not asking for the check to be done as im pretty sure it cant be done without proper reason (whatever that is) I just want to know the ins and outs of the car having a marker on it (it might not even have one, in which case im pratting about thinking about buying it, when it should be sitting out there on my driveway already!!!
) ![007](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bond.gif)
I discussed it with a few friends who dont really know what theyre talking about
Just looking to get some sort of official answer.

another thing to think about, if the previous owner was local to you, and he may be the type of person who has a few enemy's around there, the car may become a target.

my friend worked at the garage who mot'd it yearly, and it was him that recommended/directed me to it as a car to buy and keep for myself, unfortunately (for me) he didnt know about the previous owners criminal activity!
but i suppose at least the car was cared for

My mate bought a range rover with some history like that, a month after he bought it he was getting the hump with the sunroof cover not working properly. Took the headlining down and found 5k in fake 20's blocking it! Another mate managed to use it all up too!

Stick a cheap personal plate on it as soon as you buy it, should stop people spotting it locally.
It's possible it has already been re possessed as proceeds of crime and that's why it's for sale now.

you sure its not been "hidden" and already down as procedes of crime,,,,, your aware of this and trying to find a way round it
sorry mate but if its down as that you fucked as its stolen and property of customs, soon as the old bill see it they will take it off you as you would have purchased it after it was claimed back by the court of law
i know a person who was deported for a something quite bad and he had a fleet of motors and he had to get rid of em before they found what he owned (dvla cant find a list of cars you own for some reason) so they was all hidden and names changed back dated a day before he was nicked
