spiderpigcity Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 i have just bid on this car on ebay and didn't win. the seller contacted me even though i only bid at 4k. he sounded a bit dodgy. the car has no history and when i hpi checked it this is what i got back. he reckons the box van is a mistake and dvla are aware of it (b@llocks).also it is coming up as exported from the UK? can anybody put 2 and 2 together or is it me being paranoid? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&item=120370707031 surely this guy can't be that stupid selling a ringer on ebay? https://www.mycarcheck.com/customers/retrieve/391658/RJUDWLZH/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I looked at this car on ebay, the report looks ok to me, it is more than likely just an error I did not like the way the rear wheels stick out beyond the arches however, that would not pass an MOT, not sure on that mileage either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 would that not just mean exported as in to ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Shouldn't it show the vehicle as being exported as the seller is based in Wexford, Irish Republic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderpigcity Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Shouldn't it show the vehicle as being exported as the seller is based in Wexford, Irish Republic? the guy rang me from a irish number, but it just all seems a bit dodgy. if the car has been exported why is it on a V5? I Thought southern ireland was classed as outside the UK with swansea? would there be any tax to pay if you brought it into england. if there is anybody familiar with all this could you help me out here. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcol Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 obviouly if the seller hasnt paid the VRT (tax charged to imported cars to give them the irish reg) then it would still be on UK plates (if it was imported into the UK in the first place) i would be more concerned abot the car check you did stating it was a box van!!!! you would have no duty to pay if its on UK plates to ship it back but you would have to get tax and mot as soon as it was back in the UK as they do check at the docks and they can be bast@rds about it and can impound it at the dock with no tax and mot my advice be very carefull but ring the dvla in the morning and ask them they should help you if you explain the situation and find out what they know about it. hope that helps:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderpigcity Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 cheers big col! just rang dvla. The car has been exported to roi. So this means that the v5 he has is void. The car will have to be re registered in the uk and taxed and insured. Once the vehicle has been insured and taxed and moted it then has to be re registered with dvla on a v55 application. Dvla said if i drive the car from roi to uk it would be an offense as its not registered anymore. She didnt know about whether any tax was due to be paid. I knew he was dodgy.
