Hi everyone , i have a new problem   :-[ :-[

I dropped the car at BMW today and within 30 mins they called me back saying that the cars ignition does not belong to the car, they checked the key and it belongs to a 535 not my 530 and not the dame year , the guy on the phone said it could be innocent and just be that the car has had a second hand replacement ignition but even tho that brings up questions,

The only positive i can think of is that the guy i bought it from bought it as stolen recovered and a third party not bmw replaced the ignition and then he sold it on to muggins me , I got no problem with the car if thats the case as long as its not dodgy


Do you think this is plausible ?

stressed.com

What is your reg number, PM me it if need be, also the last 7 numbers of your VIN number. BMW's are very complex, anything you do pretty much needs a computer, you won't just be able to put a second hand ignition unit in and it'll work, it would need every single system on the car coded to that key, and genuinely that would take an age. I'm afraid to say it, but genuinely it looks like you've bought a car with one hell of a past.

Today is a bad news day for me i'm afraid .........Car was stolen and cloned, police impounded the car today and are chasing up with the seller, police officer said it does not look good for getting my money back and the only thing i could possibly do is try and get hold of the insurance company that has paid out the owner of the stolen car and maybe do a deal with them for the title of the car that would have to be put back to all original with the vin numbers and so on

Claim the money back through ebay. Its all over the site now that if you buy something which isn't as decribed,they will get your money back.

Edit.Just checked,its only if you pay via paypal,which Im assuming you didn't ?

My guess would be that the car was cheap enough to be tempting, but not that cheap. What you have said about the the seller would suggest summat seriously amiss :-\ Do you have the sellers address? (a rhetorical question...)

...through PNC... If it doesn't check out then you stand a fair chance of losing the car and your money :'(

This thread might turn out to be a textbook guide for 'How not to buy a car' :-\
Guess it found its way into the computer eventually :-\

Crap news indeed :-\ Caveat Emptor...

If the HPI check was kosher, then should they not be paying you back your cash? Or does it not cover against cloning :-\

HPI will not cover it if he paid over £3000 in cash  :(.

No cover for a clone which is pointless in having a full check .  Any ideas how to get hold of the original owners name of the insurance company , police won't give it out so I'm stuffed

You'll have to contact DVLA, they should tell you for a small fee.

The insurance company own the vehicle now and ive heared from the police officer who has contacted the original owner and he may be interested in purchasing it back :-(     Does he have automatic rights to get offered first?

Thanks

As he was the last legitimate owner, I'd suggest he would have first dibs.  :-\
