May have a FRST to view this eve on our way to the PF meet. The guy selling says he only has the bottom half of the V5 and can't tell me how many former keepers the car has had.

Do you reckon it's worth a look or steer clear and keep looking?

B19-TRB

dont that A OR TXT THING GIVE U NO. OF OWNERS!?

Oranoco

What's that then?

Oranoco

Sounds ok and the pics look ok but then I thought that about the last one and it turned out to be a snotter

Daveyboy

I'd make a decision once i'd seen the car in the flesh. Likle Rudey says, it might be good 'un.... hopefully If its not too far, cant hurt.

CabrioTurbo

if you know the reg you can get the runber of keepers from the RAC site

Clare

Without the top part of the V5 he cannot prove that the car is his to sell, also it'll cost you Ł19 to get a new one.

Use this website

www.dvla.gov.uk/vehiclelicence

to check when the last change of keeper was, it may be totally legit but I would defo be wary.

Daveyboy

that the one you bought off Less?

Oranoco

Last keeper change was 4/4/05.

Clare

So he should have got the new V5 within 2 weeks of this (check the date the last V5 was issued on that website).

Then ask him what his reason is for not having it? Also make sure its the new style V5, as the way you have worded that above "the bottom bit" makes it sound like the old style one which this car defo would not have if they only changed keepers in April!

Oranoco

I have too many doubts on this now so think I'll pass it up. I can't be doing with hassle and there are too many if's and buts with this

Clare

Steve just tell the missus she cant have a Turbo, and that she will have to make do with an RS1800 and buy her my one!

Oranoco

lol

RichardPON

Don't touch it Steve - you should see how Clare drives

Clare

No idea what you mean PON

Ginge !

steve it just means hes one of the many drivers that dont have cars registered to him in order to save being given shite loads of fines ect

cheack former owners on rac website and have a look at it


lets be honest though, its for a daily driver so aslogn as its mint and not a snotter then buy it even if its had 30 owners

sports cars tend to have lots of owners anyway tbh, most people buy em for th summer or buy em they go wrong or buy em meet a bird, get her up the duff and then sell to pay for baby shite


ive never given a shit about owners as its irelevent to me personally, my old orion with me personal plate had 2 former owners, when jim added his name to it there was 3 on there


the car happens to be totally stipped and in bits though


just have a look and then look in the paperwork side of things

Ginge !

sooooooooooooooooooo dam slow , she drives slower than me

even DanS overtakes her

RichardPON

That's Richard to you thanks

Less.

Rudey filled in the logbook I sent it off where the fooking went I dont know.

Its shiows a change of keeper when Rudey brought it,even went to the local DVLA office too ask where the logbook went.

But they wouldnt tell me or my mum due to the data protection act

Ginge !

im sure ya not worried less as its no longer your issue

Less.

Just love to know where the fooking thing went

Sold a fair few cars over the last couple of years,the only one there was a problem with the logbook was my own ruddy car

Ginge !

Less.

No was always made sure I kept all the receipts fro verything on that thing

Had that for 5 years now sometimes I lucky to have a car for 5 hours
