Clocked cars on donedeal

What was the mileage before & after?

What type of car?

How do they pass the NCT with a lower mileage than the previous NCT?

Most recent NCT display cert will only show odometer reading from that test, the full long NCT cert will show the odometer readings from last couple of NCT's.

If there's anything dodgy going on you can be sure the seller won't proffer the full long NCT cert.... not sure if its possible to get this yourself from NCTS.

Buying a car with outstanding finance is a much bigger deal. I was looking at a car a few years ago, the price was in the ballpark for that make and model and it didn't look like it had been abused or done more miles than was on the odometer. But the guy selling it was a local hackney driver who was 'selling it for a client' and didn't have the VLC.

So I paid for a history check whch revealed it had outstanding finance. Contacted Donedeal but they couldn't have cared less - told me to contact the Gardai. I told them the Gardai wouldn't be interested since no crime had (yet) been committed but they (DD) just brushed me off.

Caveat emptor.

I've been wondering about this recently and a whole host of reasons,I presume you've given "the seller" the cash/transfer at that point , what does not signing it achieve ?

The trouble is that you are totally dependent on the seller for the information. The websites which charge for a history check don't tell you who is owned money.

The fact that I had to pay a third party to reveal that there was finance outstanding tells me that the best strategy in that situation is to walk away - what else has the seller not told me?
