Vehicle is taxed but tax disc blew out of the window

Sketchy. Got the date it was written off?

Love it, "vehicle is taxed but it flew out the window!"

FLOL

Can't see why date would matter but 28/07/13

It might explain the lack of tax disc as it is recent.

Flew out of window on impact possibly LOL.

 

[Tommo.]

Quite recent damage then.

Looking at the other items he has for-sale, it makes me think he bought it as damaged and did it up to sell on.....

If the car wasn't his when it was written off and he has bought it from auction then the previous owner will no doubt still have it.

This guy hasn't been truthful from the start. Surely the first thing on a advert like this, the first thing mentioned should be that it's CAT D. Fishy.

I'm surprised that would be a CAT D damage as well.

In April i needed a bonnet, wings, bumper, lights and grill -it didn't amount to a write off.

It is fishy, but it's down to the buyer to ask.

If the question isn't asked, the seller is under no legal obligation to disclose CAT information.
IF... the buyer asks, then by law the seller has to tell the truth.

Saw a straight Trophy for sale the other day for mid £4's. Rather spend an extra grand for a non accident damaged one tbh.

I'm sure you have disclose a cat c as a seller but not a cat d

 

[not260]

It's up to the seller to disclose whatever, however they like...buyer beware etc. No legal obligation. Harder to not disclose a cat c because it's printed on the v5 after the cars had its identity check from the dvla.

Some crash repaired cars are brilliant, others are death traps, but that also applies to cars that are not on the register. I've seen cars involved in fairly heavy accidents bodged back together and sold on to be the new owners problem. Morals etc tend to go out the window for the sake of a couple of quid theses days.

I quite fancy a trophy but they just arnt worth what they appear to be advertised for I got my 197 for less than I've seen trophys advertised for.

I thought it was as fossie said, not that you can get away from a cat c anyway because it's on the log book
