Car buying - Vera req assistance...., by veralynn on May 30, 2009 7:06:56 GMT 1, Hi,
Just about (or was) about to buy a car - HPI check showed this:
Plate Transfer
The current plate was transferred to this vehicle on 30/10/2006
W80ZZZ was applied to this vehicle on 14/07/2004
This VRM has been recorded as having an outstanding finance agreement
An outstanding finance agreement was recorded on 09/10/2006 against a MINI MINI COOPER CONV 16
HX52ZZZ was applied to this vehicle on 12/09/2002
There are no interests recorded against HX52ZZZ
Next steps
1. As a result of your check HPI is investigating whether the interest recorded against a previous
plate relates to this VRM. We recommend that you do not buy the vehicle before you have received
the result of this investigation.
2. We strongly recommend that you check the vehicle description and mileage
3. We strongly recommend that you check the accuracy of the information you provided (listed
below), and update your check to supply the missing information and make corrections. Remember
to do this by 29 June 2009 and before you buy the vehicle.
Vehicle Registration
So on the 9th Oct 2006 outstanding finance was registered on the previous number plate, then on the 30th Oct 2006 the car had it plates changed back to the original number plate and (I assume) it was sold. I assume that this means that there is still outstanding finance registered to the car and someone did something dodgy during Oct 2006 or?
Help!!!

Car buying - Vera req assistance...., by lastpost on May 30, 2009 10:23:37 GMT 1, Mate....there are tonnes of cars out there. If you smell a rat, i'd not risk it - it is presumably a fair wad of cash.
It could of course all be kosher - but not a risk i'd be taking.

They say (and why would they lie, they know I'm not buying it...) they bought the car from a friend and the friend bought it from a BMW/Mini dealership....I'm Essex boy racer going through a mid life crisis and hate driving boring cars and sadly my budget is limited.

Keep walking from that one, plenty more around.
