GrayFace Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 i had a buyer for my car yesterday, they came and checked the car over and were really pleased and said they wanted the car deffo, i wrote out receipt exchanged details and filled in the log book for changes then after ages of waiting for them to sort out their insurance, they said their insurance company were saying the cars manual and not automatic (its auto) and couldnt give them a quote they walked away (well drove away) they had come from the south east over 3 hrs drive!! i couldnt believe it, now ive got a log book with all this persons details in it crossed out, does anyone know if i can still sell the car to someone else with this log book or will i have to ring up the DVLA??? thanx in advance GF x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've expected any buyers with sense to get an insurance quote first, but... This does sound dodgy... Did you at any point leave the car's manuals or logbook with them? I remember reading a story in a car magazine several years that certain high spec Japanese cards kept the ignition key serial numbers in the manuals, so if you leave the documentation with the prospective owner 'while he checks into the cars' history', he'll nip down to the nearest Nissan dealer, make a copy of the ignition key, and then YOU come back home one evening to realise not only has your pride and joy been nicked, but he's got the logbook too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
