More specifically, my friend has just contacted me, he's found an add for a car, a brand new corsa, unregistered. For free.... he's contacted the guy, who is desperate to get the car gone for monday. What is going on here???

The reason my friend contacted me was because I'd have to take him there. And would split the sale between us, as neither of us wants a new corsa lmao!

I don't want to go, I have a million ideas in my head, non of them good.

Any opinions?

Steer clear. I'm a real scaredy cat about things like that, if it seems to good to be true, it usually is....

Or maybe I'm just a pessimist.

whaddayamean, unregistered?

Bloodymary · 26/03/2011 17:40

There is something badly wrong here, ie.

Its been used in a bank raid.

Its been used to transport a body.

The possibilitys are endless!!!

TheDetective · 26/03/2011 17:45

Its not been registered for a registration plate, as in a brand new off the line car.

definatly heading for trouble, keep clear

The only thing you will get for free here is-

  1. Beaten up
  2. Ripped off
  3. A great view of the underside of someones Patio.

it will cost you a bomb to get it registered!

NinkyNonker · 26/03/2011 19:01

Stolen. Have you done a reg check? Police might run plate for you too. He might just be trying to get rid before an ex claims it or something...

NinkyNonker · 26/03/2011 19:02

Doh, ignore my post if not registered! Blush

TheDetective · 27/03/2011 00:45

We didn't bother, I managed to persuade him this was a terrible idea! I'm still scared thinking about all the possibilities!

Also found out that for an unregistered car, its done 500 miles.... oh yeah?!!!
