JDM1983 28 Posted September 26, 2020 Found a car privately advertised on AT, background checked it, all ok so went to see it, on the check it said last owner had it 4 years, I asked the chap “you’ve had it 4 years?”, no 1 he said. Checked the V5, not in his name or address. He said he put it in the trade to keep the owners down, but not a trader. He had service receipts in his name from Oct 2019, but no proof of purchase. Furthermore he said it had full nissan main dealer history, it was part nissan part Indi - not a deal breaker but just another reason to doubt the guy. Would you have bought the car in these circumstances? Trying to gauge if I’m being overcautious. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metcars 397 Posted September 26, 2020 I smell a rat, move on. Personally, and with a supposedly private seller, if the v5 isn’t kosher it’s a deal breaker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meant a private who is a trader pretending he's not Selling from home on a regular basis but not declaring as such . Was my nieces car my son or daughters the usual old story Its a shame because it gives the genuine people who trade from home a bad name .
