going to see a car tomorrow and did a hpi check on her and this came up -

The current plate was transferred to this vehicle on 01/12/2010
L13GAL was applied to this vehicle on 30/04/2010
This VRM has been recorded as having an outstanding finance agreement
An outstanding finance agreement was recorded on 26/01/2013 against a QASHQAI2 20TEKNA5D4WDCV
BW52PGV was applied to this vehicle on 13/07/2005
There are no interests recorded against BW52PGV


the plate on the car is bw52 pgv, so what does this mean???

 

I would think that the alert has come back against the cars chassis number.

If I was buying this I'd walk away :-(

 

This looks similar to a check I did a few years ago, the plate was transferred off the car you are buying and the car it currently sits on has outstanding finance. The hpi check plate and car. You need to phone them as they will confirm if I am correct over the phone, but you must contact them for the warranty from hpi to be valid.

 

well i dont know what to do now as im setting off at 5am to see this?

 

looks ok to me. as per what daz said, the old plate has the bad finance not the car you are buying.

 

right ok coz it looks like the chassis number has the finance?

 

I'd be walking away, why has it had so many plates ?

 

Walk away, why risk it?

 

its a very nice car its this one, i found this on here -

Alert against QASHQAI2 20TEKNA5D4WDCV ??? Is this the chassis number? As suggested ring the company who did the check, do they have a 24 hour help line?

 

Is it a trade sale or a private sale?

This isn't unusual at all, HOWEVER if you have paid for a decent HPI you will be present the company details and ref for the finance. Give them a call to ensure they have no more interest in the car. Unfortunately you probably are not going to be able to do that till Monday.

Whilst its not uncommon I would certainly not put any money down till I had it confirmed.

I suppose you could go look at it, check everything else and see if the car is for you. if it is WAIT, check on Monday and then you can do a deal?

I would guess its a log book loan TBH as very few major lenders will finance a car over 10 years of age.

 

it was done by hpicheck.com

its a private sale
i could only give a reg number to do the hpi check as the seller wont give me the chassis number

 

Well obviously you have less protection with a private sale, but either way my advice above stands.

The HPI check should give you the vehicle VIN number within its info?

 

i dont really want to risk it as its a 4 hour drive to see it

no it didnt give me the vin number - it says to be supplied

 

Seller wont give you the chassis number?? Jeez mate walk, no run away :-)

There's shed loads of great subarus for sale

 

I would agree...... only saying it is not unusual for financial interests to either not be removed, or get confused with reg. plate transfers......I am a trader and come across it much more then I should.

This is an area people should be very vigilant in though, you have done right by doing the HPI, and it would be silly to do the check and then ignore it! Just want to make the point, from what you have told me its likely its just an interest that hasn't been removed, but you MUST check that before handing over any hard earned!

The HPI should include VIN number and last change of keeper depending I guess on which level you chose?

My bigger concern here is why the seller isn't wanting to give you the chassis number?? that one does seem strange!

 

i know he told me he didnt like giving out 2 much info lol,
im walking away, ive decided to view another car as ive only got tomorrow to buy a car

 

Think your doing the right thing there...........However looking at cars on the principle 'you have to have one today' is never the best idea! Make sure you check the car out fully and certainly don't indicate to the seller your in the position you have to have a car there and then! Remember a car isn't just for Christmas

Good luck with the search

 

I would be worried as to why the seller won't give the chassis number over!

 

thank you S555 MKR for your help, and others

 

The finance is on the Qasquai not the one your after. The private plate of L13 GAL was put onto the car you are interested in on 30/04/2010 & then removed on 1/12/2010, The private plate got put on the Qashqai on 26/01/13

 

Right hold on look at the big picture, your gonna look at a car your not entirely happy about because you only have one day to buy a car? Will the world end if you don't buy a car? I think not! Buy right, buy once!

Wow....Looks like the OP may of missed out on a car he wanted due to more SN duff advice...

 

I wouldn't worry Blob Wagons look crap in white.

As for not wanting to give the chassis no, I don't blame the seller, far too many scammers about, I know if I were selling a car I would not be giving all the details out ***** nilly over the phone to someone who may or may not buy the car, come look at it in person and you can write it down when I know your not some dodgy African gypsy from Bradford.

Last car I bought was in a mad rush and had to have it, still got £100 off the price and it's been great for 50k miles.

 

ok im back from my road trip, ok i havnt had the car i wanted as i wasnt going to drive 5 hours to look at the car and then walk away,

went to bristol instead to get a car, black bug estate, it was my second choice and my god i did the right decision, he advertised it as standard with a 4inch back box, so my hopes were ok untill i saw the car and the folder of invoices,

so for £1900 i got a bug (which i wanted) PPP, sti engine, sti topmount, 3inch milteck exhaust system, tints, fully loaded interior, remapped at over 300bhp with dyno print, and endless ammount of invoices. oh yeah and full dealer service.

the 5 hour trip back was great.
very happy indeed

 

Enjoy the car and any pics ?

 

yeah ill get some up when it stops rainning mate

 

How did it take you 5 hours to get from bristol to west wales?

 

Well done black is the best colour.

 

Agreed.. If people have no idea what they're on about, they really shouldn't advise!

The finance outstanding has nothing to do with the Subaru. It's against a Qashqai that used to have the same plate.
