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...)

Do you know a friendly copper who could run the Reg and Chassis numbers through the PNC just in case... if that checks out, get the locks changed sharpish, including the remote and transponder codes. 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' :-\

As all the numbers were entered in before you have some sort of recourse should anything be amiss. Although they'd still kick up about it being paid in cash. To be honest, I'd just see how it goes really, a lot of people say they have the spare key when they don't just to help the sale go through. Any help you need feel free to give me a PM if needed. As long as all the number match up properly I wouldn't worry overly. The engine mount still surprises me though.

You bought it from his home address, is it worth a drive back?
