    Hey folks,

    Im looking at a rare car thats been sold as private but looks like its registered against his garage (cartell showing it up as current owner category "garage"). He seemed a decent guy when I went to view the car up at his home. He mentioned the garage registration to me but I didnt give it too much thought at the time.

    Have people seen this before? Any extra checks I should do etc?

    Cheers.

    How recently was it registered to a garage?

    Do you mean the garages name would be on the book as an owner, or just that a temporary transfer to a garage has been done? They’re 2 different things.

    Car was bought last November by this seller. Owner history section has it down as a trade sale as current owner. Looks like he bought it off another garage in November 2018.

    I've talked to one or 2 people who don't think it's an issue. It's probably to do with taxation reasons.
