How Not Buy A Stolen Car

The car market is by no means the best place to buy a car, in view of the fact that sellers as a rule are not owners of cars, but are intermediaries, second-hand dealers and other hired workers. And as a consequence, the likelihood of buying a car on the wanted list is dramatically increasing.

If you are "incredibly lucky" you automatically:
A) become a fence buyer
B) lose the car
C) you lose money spent on its acquisition
D) start running around the police department and answer questions

How not to buy a stolen car? In order not to become a "happy" owner of a stolen car, you need to know some ways of legalizing them:

The first way:
- the car gets into an accident as a result of which it becomes not cost-effective to restore;
- the owner of the car sells documents, it is more profitable than to write off and dispose of
Auto;
- for this car, as a rule in neighboring regions, such a car is being stolen, of the same year of release, color, equipment;
- the last few digits of the VIN code are interrupted, namely VIS;

The VIN consists of 3 parts:
1.WMI (World Manufacturers Identification) - the world manufacturer's index
2.VDS (Vehicle Description Section) - the narrative
3.VIS (Vehicle Identification Section) - a distinctive part

The bottom line: the documents are "clean", the car is one by one as "dead", only the last few digits are interrupted. So pay attention to the little things: rubbed or unevenly derived VIN code, etc.

The second method:
- The car steals;
- VIN code of the exact same vehicle is similar in color and configuration;
- Knock out exactly the same VIN code and make exactly the same documents;

The result: the machine appears a double, and of course, if someone from the double is hijacked or recycled by the second machine, it repeats the fate of the first. Why not take arbitrary numbers? It is dangerous, in this case anyone can check the car by check digit and understand that such a car was not released, although in practice this happens.

The third way:

- The car steals;
- "zamylivayut" VIN code in the federal search base;
- Documents are made on it;
- the machine successfully logs in the neighboring region, the country, the mainland;

Bottom line: maybe you're lucky and you'll never know that you bought a stolen vehicle, but as practice shows, "zamylivanie" VIN code occurs only for the time of transportation and sale of the vehicle.

And also we present you the "know-how" of operations with stolen cars, we will not misinterpret the text, just read.

What should I look for when buying a car from my hands and how not to buy a stolen car
- look at the PTS, if it is suspiciously clean and not dirty, it is worth paying attention to. Even at the most neat this document is usually not the "first freshness", look at the number and series - yes, they are also interrupted;
- the car is removed from the account? It seems to be good, you do not need to stand in line and make out documents, paid money, issued a notary and your car. It is not necessary to be enticed by a trip to MREO can turn out to be an unpleasant surprise for you. The PTS was "fake" and the database of the traffic police confirmed this, here's a living example;
- Undervalued price, this is the most effective way, because A sense of quick gain does not have a beneficial effect on common sense;
- pay attention to the details, namely: there must be a complete set
Original keys (as a rule 2 pieces), keys should approach locks;
- cars arrived from overseas check on carfax.ru, maybe the car was not on the move and you have original documents but not a car;
- vehicles produced on the territory of the Russian Federation can be pierced on vincar.ru - this is the database of road accidents, the presence of global damages is also information for thought (for the moment this is a service that can be used by those who want to buy a car in Perm, Ufa, Kirov and Yoshkar -Ole);
- The database of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate provides a free vehicle inspection service for hijacking;

Those who decided to buy a car in the treid-in do not rush, the risks to buy a "left" car is not less, precedents are not enough, and this scheme worked even more than 10 years ago, but no less relevant in our days
