What did he put in instead?
I honestly don't know, he did it on an Android pad and I just had to fill in my details and that I had sold it. On the new style tax book there is nowhere for the buyer and seller to sign, just the buyer to fill in details but in this case he said he wanted to tax it straight away so he wanted it done online. All was and is fine my end.

funny i just noticed its on usedcars as a private sale there and was coming on here to cross check if it was your old one


does the plate actually exist?

I ran the reg on our system and it comes back with no results. It's still on the old plate JGZ3669, I expect he's using the IFZ plate to stop people checking the car!

Funny how he has listed the car as a 2019, when it comes up on my system as a 2017 model, registered 31/01/2018!

What a chancer, we should all start ringing him about the car and waste his time.

Yes I get that it's not nice, but if you got a price for the car that you were happy enough to let it go, then why worry about what the next owner does.
And anyone handing over that sort of money (in fact the price is irrelevant) for a car and not check that details are correct deserve all they get.

I realise all that and I'm happy with what I got for the car but I hate seeing misleading ads and dodgy sellers especially when it's a car I just sold to him.

I got caught myself with a dodgy private sale years ago and it ended up the police involvement to sort it before I took the law into my own hands. The seller was a 60 year old financial adviser that lived on the Malone Road!!!!

Saying "they deserve all they get" by trusting a seller is harsh and I don't agree with that at all. Must remember not to do a deal with you without checking everything.

Deserving all they get was probably harshly put, but what I have learned, is trust no one and check everything yourself.

Autotrader Add is down now. He definitely sounds like a shark. Guys like that will always meet their match....eventually!

Is that the guy that bought @WSM's R8? Reg seems familiar.

how can it be 1 owner too......... must have been minimally 1 owner before you... so even if he is trade (not sure if he is/isnt) then its at least 2 owners.

What’s he like on negotiating on the price?

The car should be fine though. If I remember right it had about 24500 miles on it when I sold it.
