Default escos on a q plate
Looking at an escos but its on a q plate...

1. Does this reduce its value
2. Are there any dodgy reasons why it would be put on a q plate apart from it being reshelled like he said.

Cheers folks

it will massively reduce the value
doesn't make it a bad car
it could be on a Q plate for many reasons, 1 being a reshell so its possible

Depends on the condition mate, if it is a really clean car then 8k on a q is not bad. Tatty thought or a tired example then 8k may not be such a bargain.

If its on a q plate and even if it was once stolen or resheld it don't really matter now the fact is its now leagle but yes will be worth a lot less and the headrest part is getting insurance so get a few quotes before you buy it

It may be that fewer insurance companies will cover them so those that do charge more. Certainly worth checking.
