Hi all a bit of advice needed.Did a buy it now on a 1.0 corsa seems really good did a vehicle check came back

9 owners

no colour changes

no stolen record

not scrapped

 

reg maybe a total loss however as it has undergone a plate transfer investigation is required.????

I have emailed the owner and told him based on the vehicle check i dont want it .Am i being a bit hastey? could it all be ok?

Makes you wonder why its had 9 previous owners, and then 10 if you did buy it !

one of my cars has had a previous plate transfer. Its not so easy to follow or find out why, is it.. I suspect somebody put on a personal plate then took it off again but I am not exactly sure.. but all is ok if the DVLA says so (as they are the ones handing out the fines).

 

wouldnt buy a corsa either any which way- remember the joke billboards ads : picture of a corsa with the words "show the world you know nothing about cars"

there are plenty more corsas out there if you that way inclined, its not worth it id walk away.

Thanks guys, won't be taking any chances.Corsa was for my lad, it's far too sensible for me.

It either has a private plate, or at some point somebody fitted a private plate and then kept the plate when they sold it on and had regular plate put back.

 

Very normal/Common. But it does make the Full VIC check harder to rely on if its done by Reg only.

 

I guess it depends on how much your paying (how new the corsa is) on wether or not its a concern.
