dawny1970 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 walk away, sounds like a major headache to me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsexydoug Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 although it could be legit, think about it if it isnt legit, cos you will be thinking it as long as you own that car. thinking every cop car you see will notice you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I'd buy a different car. It might well be legitimate, but why risk your money. Oh, some further advice. Never fall in love with a car that you are thinking of buying. That way lies bad decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidley Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Think, who will buy it off you when the time comes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I'm with everyone else- walk away. It may be fine, but it's going to put off at least half of all potential buyers when it comes to selling it and if it turns out that it's really stolen then you will have forked out just for it to be seized and your money will be gone. And as sibon says, make decisions based on your head, not your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 perhaps a chat with the police would be in order. if the car really is stolen then i'm sure they would be interested and you might even get a reward if the car isn't stolen then you will know for certain it isn't and you may be able to get the erroneous records corrected.
