The basic rule in making such purchases is 'If in doubt, don't'. Otherwise, what you consider a 'cheap buy' today may become a cheap bile tomorrow. Invest in your future peace of mind. It's invaluable. |

Youngaboy: I wonder why we keep asking questions that even nursery kids can answer. Since you know the name of the company he used to work for, why don't you just go there and enquire from the HR or Admin department if really the car was stolen or has been passed on to the guy legally? I just tire for some kind of questions sha. 5 Likes |

I went through a similar deal. I contacted a government consultant on vehicle licensing and he advised me on what to do. You will have to do a Sale Agreement which the company whose name is on the vehicle papers will sign. With the Sale Agreement you will now proceed to vehicle licensing office for a change of ownership. When this is done all the vehicle papers will be renewed bearing your name 5 Likes |

Youngaboy: Take the plate number to vio..they will get you the info of the real owner of that car. The moment you got it ...check whether the information from vio tallies with the info on particulars. Ensure chasis number or vin number matches with what is on car wind screen or car body ...I mean the seal placed on the driver side door. If all this matches , ask him for sales agreement BTW him and the company . Or document showing the car has been transferred to him ..look for a document called proof of ownership or the allocation of plate number document...check if the company phone number is there . Call it to confirm if they authorise the sale . At this point the truth go come out . Cars of thus nature from company can land person for jail ...infact , visit the company to clarify issues b4 buying 2 Likes |

Apart from handing over the original papers, the company would have also given an official letter on their letterhead to the buyer to show that they have sold it to him. That is the letter your friend would have used to effect a change of ownership. Let him show you that letter. Then run a due diligence check with the company. |

Possibly after the car was bought from the company, the fellow continued renewing the documents on the companies name instead of getting a new registration and number plates to save cost. This is a normal thing people do(wrong though) . All you need is the sales receipt the company issued, a deed of sale too from your guy along with change of ownership and you are good to go. |
Re: How Can I Avoid Buying A Stolen Vehicle? by senatrpaichulo(m): 7:50am On May 17, 2022 |
Youngaboy: Simple as ABC!!! Tell him the change of ownership note should be typed with the company letter head, that's all. |

1. Copy the VIN or Number Plate - The VIN number can be seen on the bottom right (The steering) from outside. Take it to License office, they will give you the history of the users of the car till date. Call each and every number registered to the chassis number to be sure they actually sold it to the current user. 2. Police Report and Affidavit - Ensure you do a police and court affidavit showing that you're the lawful owner of the car now. 1 Like |

No problem about that brother, is matter of change of ownership in Court and proper documents, the boss might paid the his company instalment from his or her salary to have the car and the boss might be the person that have many cars. |

There should be an evidence sales of the car to your friend, with that; involve a lawyer and police near to you to seal the deal.... But if there is no evidence of sales, its ur duty to get clear proof the car was sold out to your friend... |
