Looking at purchasing a car. However when i type in the REG number to get an insurance quote it comes up as a completely different car?

Should i stay clear of it?

Can you not 100% confirm the reg again from the seller or have you actually viewed this car? Typo possibly?

I have rung up the person selling it to make sure i wrote it down properly and it matched to what they told me. Said it several times to be sure!

If any doubt stay away or take more time to fully confirm, annoying but better to have your cash in your pocket rather than buying into a potential problem.
