Hi everyone, I'm new here so hopefully people are still online at this time. Basically, the story goes: I've found a really good car which I like and is at a reasonable price. From test drive and general inspection, it seems good. The last two MOTs are available as is the service book and a receipt from the last service. The seller has two keys etc and it kind of all seems legit except for one thing. On the V5 form, there are three sides I believe some times. On the third side (http://www.plates4less.co.uk/images/public/forms/large/v5c/v5c.jpg third page on this example), the yellow section is missing and, believe it or not, the green bit (New Keeper Details) has been tippexed out. He's a trader (though, not that I'm trying to draw a bad picture of him, I'm not 100% sure whether he's a registered trader or not) so isn't the last owner on the docs. He says the last owner put his details in the wrong bit of form which, well, may or may not be true. I've done an HPI check and it's come back all perfect. This car was a trade-in apparently which is why he's selling it on. What I'm suspecting is that someone traded it in to another garage for not a lot, they've cleaned it up, put new tyres on it, made it up etc and are now selling it on straight away without waiting the 6 weeks (am I correct in this assumption?) it would take to get them registered as the new owners. That's why they've tippexed the 'New Keeper Details' bit out to then replace them by mine which, I guess, would make it easier for them. My questions are: - If I get this car, am I being conned? - What is on the yellow section at the top of page 3? I know the seller sends this off to the DVLA but will it have anything on it which I should know about? That's pretty much it. Would really appreciated advice. Cheers, Simon
