Is it kosher?

[Trickyboy]

Well, may have found a super bargain at last today but could be dodgy. 06 plate, black, 3dr, 22k miles with all documents for £9.5k, spoken to the seller and he has given me the reg number to check, he will only accept cash which isn't a problem for me but should i be put off by this? If anybody has access to HPI facilities a little bit of help would be appreciated

where did you see it advertised

[VC]

did it have a verifiable history? did you check the chassis numbers?

[JPC]

you really need to get the VIN Number of the car, then HPI that.

obviously you need to see the VIN for yourself on the chassis.

Was advertised on a major website, so i'd need to check the VIN when i view the car, where would i be looking for it Is this because the plates could have been swapped? Excuse my noobish ignorance lol

the VIN on mine is on passenger side door aperture at the bottom on a black sticker, its also on the passenger side windscreen at the bottom then the stamped one is under the bonnet on the wing on the left side i think, it should be stamped and not tampered with, mine also has a clear sticker over this to protect it i guess

Well, ive had a HPI done on the reg which has given the supposed VIN for the chassis so ill just make sure the two match up i guess?

I got to give a lecture on risk assessment in asset management as part of my course a couple of weeks ago... I furnished it with all sorts of interesting photographs such as:
