Hello guys, I have been looking out for a mid level and unique Suv for myself so I saw this ad of Facebook.
2011 Volkswagen Tiguan at an affordable price. I went to meet the seller at his residents.i test drove the car and checked everything. It was so clean and smooth.
This car is just exactly what I want for less than 3million. The only problem was that it had no customs paper. He explained that the car was auctioned by an embassy to the person he bought it from. I asked of release paper or receipt of purchase or anything that shows it was bought brand new or was auctioned by the embassy. He made calls but could not provide any.
So my people, what do you advise,am not a frequent traveller but instances may arise where I need to make an interstate journey.
Also we have these SARS guys always doing random checks. I don't want to have any issues with anyone .is there a way around this, can I still buy it. The SUV is lovely .

NO

He could not provide any single paper to back his claims? I am sure he does not even have ordinary photocopy of certificate of Proof of Ownership. From your description above, it looks like a snatched/stolen vehicle. Run for your life.

Some companies that buys their vehicles brand new hardly drop the purchase receipt to whoever buys the vehicles, however, there ought to be a letter headed paper from the company stating they have sold the car to whoever bought it on auction.
Besides, if customs stop you on the road and ask for your customs paper, tell them the car is bought brand new.
They have a computer they can use to check your chassis number on their system if truly it was bought brand new.
