find out what finance company has title over the car , ring them get them to send you a final pay out figure , pay out the insurance company , they assign the title to you , pay the remainder to the current owner

or

ask the owner to pay it out and get a letter stating the car is freehold and pay the owner the total amount

Edited by arkon
hmmm so there isn't a site that i can go to and it'd tell me all the info i want aye :P?

mmm

alright

ill see wha ti can do

cheers

CHi

just get the engine/VIN number and registration and call REVS

http://www.revs.nsw.gov.au/buyguide/private.htm

they will let you know there is money owing etc and you basically have to write two checks and proceed as arkon stated. make sure the car is under your name before handing any cheques over i.e perform transfer of car/money in a bank where eventually everybodys got peace of mind and nobody can get screwed. Oh and call revs back and make sure its out of their list. good luck

BTW give us details of the car u r speaking of, maybe forum ppl know it

Edited by kidd

I got burnt by this once.... DEFINITELY ring REVS... and as the others said you write out a cheque to her finance company and the rest to her.

Even if the amount of the car is LESS than the amount she owes, the finance company will still release the encumberance on the car if the cheque is written out to them.

REVS will advise you on how to proceed anyway so take their advice.

Although - I wouldn't suggest doing Arkon's 2nd suggestion, as I did this and the guy nicked off to the UK and my car was repossesed because he didnt pay out the loan. But it was the letter that enabled me to charge him with fraud and get my car back. BUT you don't want to go down this path... Trust me... it was messy.

yeah its the white one on antilag for 10k im just buyinig this for my brother for his L plates and yeah hehe don't wanan like get scammed or nothing mmm so ring revs and they'll tell me what to do ? i got her Vin/Rego Number but no engine number sooo can i still perform this check cheers

Cheers

Ring REVS and find out? 1300 304 024

The Western Australian REVS site is https://bizline.docep.wa.gov.au/revs/

Go to this link and you can do your own search

https://bizline.docep.wa.gov.au/revs/public...ch.cfm?search=1

Although the online search just tells you it is encumbered. You still need to ring to find out the other details.

You need rego, VIN, Engine number.

Anyone else need spoon feeding?

You have the information you need. Thread Closed.

    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
