even more good news ,   spoke to original keeper today who is in the process of getting his private plate back from the car,  the car is only on 43k miles and not the 93000 i bought it on,  all checked with online VOSA and all mot matches up ,,   The thief obviously had to add miles so that it matched the 2009 car Mot

I will make it clear for those who type for the fun of it     ,    I bought the car for 8k ,  it was stolen ,  8k gone,     

I have just bought a 535d m sport 2008 for 6k and also spent £840 on it servicing it ,   There is no gearbox issue it was a loose engine mount replaced for £70  Total £6910,    Have a look and see what a top of the range 2008 535d msport fully loaded go for,    around about 15k on ebay and autotrader and have also popped into a few dealers and asked them what they would sell for ,    Webuyanycar have offered 11k


I will keep it for a couple of years and still get back  my 7k plus more  ,     you cant add into the car 8k that i spent originally  as i never owned it ,   I see the point your trying to make but like i said in a previous post i still have to buy a car, and am technically 3k short but i have made up that on buying a 15k car  for 7k

Im not out here to argue with anyone on here but as i see it your talking xxxx

Any questions ?

just an update for the ones that helped me on this,     Insurance are going to pay 5k out of the 8 i paid,    ended up buying the car back for 6k so well under price for a 2008 535 fully loaded,   no record on hpi as already checked so can easily move on if need be and all numbers being changed back by bmw for £300

Thanks

I must be stupid but I make this ....

You paid £8000

They paid you £5000

Loss stands at £3000

You buy the car for £6000

Cost stands at £9000

BMW charge £300 to do admin

Costs stands at £9300

and earlier you said you spent £870 on bits for it

so car has actually cost you £10170 plus all the phone calls/letters/hassle

But if you are happy ... your call 

Unfortunately it seems you are

I'm struggling to understand this thread to be honest. 

The OP bought a car which turned out to be stolen, so he has lost the car and his money, including that spent on repairs etc.  Here's the thing, all the OP seems worried about is how much he can buy it back from the insurance company for..... 

So unless the spare wheel is stuffed with coke. Why?    Also he dosn't seem interested in finding/pursuing/damaging the seller!! 

Am I missing something?   

yes you clearly are,   the police are dealing with the seller who has sold a car from a rented property ,   what do you suggest i do ,   track him down myself from over 200 miles away ? 

The insurance company now own the vehicle and i'm either trying to buy it back at trade price or claim at least what extra i spent on the car on top of what i paid for it to the thief who sold it to me ,   I still need a car so why not this one if i can get it cheaper than buying from dealer ,   once again what don't you understand

So have the Police found the thief/seller? because you don't seem at all bothered by this and it's a slim chance but probably the only one of getting your money back.  And yes for the amount you've lost, I'd say 200 miles is no distance at all! 

Too be honest if this had happened to me, I'd never want to see the bloody thing again, let alone spending even more cash to have it back.  Besides even if the insurance company did sell it to you at trade, it's not going to be that much less anyway... 

I'm not having a go or anything, just trying to understand what's going on!   

i am bothered but what do you suggest i do about catching the thief and even if i did what do you suggest then ?    the guy who sold the car was more than likely not the person who had the money from the deal and more like some idiot who had a few hundred from it for selling it on someone elses behalf

so please tell me what you would do

The person that sold me the car does not live at the address from where i bought the car,   so where are you and your rugby friends going to go,   look around yorkshire maybe

Also the car has now got a stolen recorded marker for life against it as the insurance are required by law to inform DVLA ,  this reduces the price of the car,   also the insurance does not  have a forcourt to sell cars from so they sell to the trade at trade prices ,    im not asking for under trade but for the same price they would possibly get at auction for a car that has been stolen and recovered which is obviously a lot less asking price than for a car with no history,    does that make sense ?

How have i paid 18k for the car ,    will it make any difference if i buy a mercedes for instance ,   does that then get added on to the cost of the bmw

no loan but just cheesed off that the insurance company want to make as much money as possible from the victim of the whole thing,  The car re surfaced from my misfortune and even if i had known it was stolen i still would of called the police as i don't want to be caught up in anything to do with it illegally ,   

Just seems a shame that the insurance are only interested in making as much possible and not doing the moral thing and giving the loosing guy a bit of a break ,    thanks for your reply's guys

called the insurance today and said if i don't want the car back then will they refund me at least the price i have spent on the car,   2 rear calipers and brakes all round ,  and full service ,   comes to about £870   

No they said as we cant say the car needed the parts you have said,   i have all the receipts but are they just taking the piss out of me and trying to fob me off or am i entitled to the money back

but surely a car that need new chassis numbers and vin changed back and also has stolen record against it would de-value it by thousands wouldn't it  ?
