i bought a stolen car in good faith

[malichi]

Can’t go the place because no one lives there anymore they probably just rented if for a month or two just to sale the car. Them guys are professional s now I’m just waiting to see how much the insurance company would sale the car back to me that’s if they want to sale it if not they would just keep it.

Let this at least (if it is true) be a lesson to others.

If a car is 10k cheaper than it should be, there is probably a good reason for it (cat write off, stolen etc)
If the seller wants to meet you at another address, this is when alarm bells should be ringing
If the seller wants 20k in cash alarm bells should be ringing

your biggest problem is you write in the same way scammers do, poor english.

You are clearly after something, maybe this is some sort of in elaborate money fee exchange.

You are clearly not clear with your motives.

I assume Autotrader is a dead end; i.e. they'll have paid for the advert with a stolen credit card so no way of identifying the seller of the car?

OP, if your story is true you were very careless. The low asking price, and the request for a payment in cash, should have put you on your guard. You are unlikely to have any practical remedy, unless the crims are caught, and have sufficient traceable assets to be worth suing. Frankly, that looks unlikely. Even if the crims are caught and jailed, they may have spent or hidden the loot.

PS: If your pregnant girlfriend is really threatening to leave you because of this, that does not say a lot about the strength of your relationship, but that detail of what may in any event be a fictional narrative sounds a tad too colourful.

Either that or an excess of hormones and instinct to build a nest, having just seen her assistant give all the raw materials away.

I suppose that it is the done thing on PH (Sexism matters) to ask for pics.

One of my mates was in a similar situation where he paid £22.5k for a car worth just over £30k car, turned it was stolen/ cloned, insurers sold it to him for £7k. He then part exchanged it against a new car for £30k so by the end of it he was £500 up.

However he was without the car for nearly a year while the insurers and police did what they wanted with it...

What was the address of the place?

• We can find out from land registry records when it was last sold.

We can potentially search for the owner of the place.

• If the owner was complicit, that's a lead.
• If the owner wasn't complicit, how did the scammers get in? Was the house broken into? Was that reported to the police?

Your story is a load of bks.

I lost the car and money, and now my partner she is about to leave me for making a silly mistake.

It's probably for the best, after all you do appear to be a complete spanner.

The insurance company, who own the vehicle, will probably put it into the auctions where, if is in 'Guide Condition retail' it will make about 75% of that figure as quoted in Glass's guide.

If his pregnant girlfriend leaves it'll cost him a lot more than £21,500.

I had three lads turn up with 17k to buy my Lexus on new years day. I didn't blink an eye.

Difference they were buying it from you, walking into a house with 20+k cash, stupid anything could happen.

But if his hypothetical pregnant girlfriend stays, it won't be any cheaper.

Fictional children aren't expensive anyway.

ok call me naive but why is everyone convinced this is a scam and how the hell were some of you calling it on page 1/2? ok the 'nigerian' style english is weird but besides wasting his time how does the op benefit? sob story gets worse and worse until people start donating? i think i must be getting soft in my old age.

Maybe it's not his bun in the oven? Maybe she is scamming him for CSA payments!?
