Yeah it's pretty much this. The finance company really don't care who owns the car now they, as normal, just want their money. The person that signed the agreement will get in the shit and the current owner can buy the car from the finance for X amount. It's a bit shit to 'get charged twice' but really it comes down to 'you can't buy stolen property even if you didn't know as it's always stolen' type thing. Hire companies ring for the same thing when a hire car, normally long term, hasn't been returned. They know the cars not actually stolen, they just want their money but there's no other way of doing it. You are technically permanently depriving someone of their property, which is theft.

Sorry but I haven't read all the thread. The letter is genuine. I've spoken to insurance companies about this kind of thing before and it's normally that the car has been sold with outstanding finance. As such it was never the owners* car to sell. Nothing to worry about other than someone somewhere wants some money or the car.

It would be nice as the twat never comes on when the engine gets hot but when it's just about to overheat. Which is why in one Fiesta I've got a manual fan switch fitted.

I know it's a bit stupid but can it be registered in another country then reregistered here or does it not work like that?
-
Insert sarcastic comments based on breaking it up here. What's making you give up on it or is it that it might never be able to be registered? Couldn't it be finished as some sort of college course?

I've heard they're changing the name of the ULEZ just in case.

What's it like driving such a small car with no roof in the land of bigger than ours cars? That said stuff is getting bigger here I mean years ago I drove a convertible Seabring and when giant trucks go past they look like trains.

The first time I drove an .... (New to you car experiences)
AlabamaShrimp replied to 320touring's topic in AutoShite
Can remember the first and only time I've driven a Lotus. Bright yellow Elise. Only a K series engine but the noise it makes behind your head. Thing that got me the most though was the rock hard gear change. Must have looked full on mid life crisis too with the roof off. Also the first time I drove an ambulance. I've drive big vans before but it was the way people stopped and let you out or pulled over to let you go through first.
