Stolen And Recovered Car

[fullo]

hi guys,

I just wanna ask about is it dangerous to buy a stolen and recovered car in VIC? I don't know much about it, any information will be helpful

[LO_R33]

No, its fine if its through auction (no debt owed on the car etc etc)... you should be able to tell fairly well if its still ok, you can start them etc at auction but not drive.

other then been given a hard time whilst stolen the car should usually be fine.

We baught a deawoo lanos from the auctions before for me to learn in before i got the r33, and we only found out when we went to rego it that it was stolen/recovered and it was 100% perfect:S

Hope this helps

Is there any problem for the insurance as well? How about if I buy it from private seller? any problem?

Just make sure it has no outstanding debts (such as car loans etc) you'll probably do this on all cars you buy, its a revs check.

As long as its complied, everything is their, nothing should be a problem. in the ACT you have to go for an ID check (to make sure its not rebirthed).

Insurance is just the same as any other car you buy... its really no different, someones car was stolen, then they found it and repaired any damages if it had any and gave it back...

i have heard of some problems with this, just make sure the cops are finished with this, i have had someone buy a s6 rx7 from the auctions all in good faith, the cops then came and repoed it again, he had to fight it in court to keep his car.

there is a certificate you can get, costs like $10-$30 and it just secures you in writing, and protects you if they ever come to repo it...

[LO_R33]

Thats called a rev's check which i what i said you need to check...

Here in canberra at pickles auctions they guarantee that the car has no outstanding finanace... so i cant possibly see how the cops could come a repo it when it has no outstanding finance on it specially when its been handed back to the insurance company, and then to the action squad, then to you.

Just be careful, thats all.. the same as you would with any other car.

Goodluck.

I got a certificate of registered interests on my car which protects you if financers come to your door to collect the car, as a verbal phone check from vic roads isnt enough. it cost 8 bucks
