Colour V5 with your name and address

· Card part of driving licence confirming your name and current home address

· Proof of bank details showing your full name, account number and sort code (void cheque/paying in slip or bank statement)

· MOT certificate

· A photo of the car with you in the photo, this is just so we can confirm you are the owner of the car.

is it dodgy? theyre a big company so it seems legit.

Phone up the finance company and ask them.

I have but always best to get a outsiders opinion as they could say anything. Just need a bit of reassurance.

Think im going to go ahead with it...

There is a new breed of finance companies who will provide finance to private buyers buying from individuals. One such company is Zuto. They seem to be legit and are growing fast.

Given that they are providing finance for a car sold by a private individual and not a dealership who they already have a relationship with, they will of course carry out more checks than normal to ensure that the bUYER isn't ripping them off by buying a phantom car and disappearing with the readies.

Do a google search of the company name and see if they are indeed legitimate.
