Hi guys
Bit of a dilemma here,
I brought a car about 8 months ago, I then sold it around 3 months ago.
I have now got a angry email back from the guy who brought it saying that there is money owing against the vehicle from one of the previous owners(not the guy I brought it off either).
is there anything he can do? am I liable for anything.
I had no idea any money was owing and neither did the guy before me.

Ownership has passed, so no it's not your problem.
Oh, and asking for legal advice on a forum is asking for trouble. Ring your local citizen advice bureau.

I think it's his problem (i.e. it was your problem while you owned the car) but I don't know for certain.
Get thee to a CAB as suggested by OAB

Does the dude who is owed the money have the car registered on the Personal Property Security Register?

you will need the vin number of the car as well
also if there is a security check the date lodged vs your purchase date.

He can't do shit.
It is his responsibility to check that everything is in order before purchase. Who the hell buys a vehicle without checking it these days? If you register with www.Carfax.co.nz its only a couple of $'s to check.
Many on KB have been burned in the past through buying vehicles that have finances owing. They could do nothing then.

His problem now not yours, as he is the legal owner of the car. He should have done his checks.
The company who has registered the car as security can even take posession of the car and he won't be able to do anything.
He needs to get hold of the person who owes money and he/she has to pay up before it will be released.
It's just a case of tough luck.
That's why you alwyas do a CHECK before you buy to make sure there are no interest/security against the vehicle.
Interesting thing is where was the finance company for the past few months when you and the guy before you owned the car?

I wondered that too - if I had to guess, probably sending the Overdue Notices, then the Final Notices, then the "Don't make us break your legs" Notices, and then putting to their baliffs. Then tracking down the car.
Smarty pants... since ages ago
And as far as the car goes ... its just one thing less the guy who originally owed the money can sell/have taken off him ...
NOT YOUR PROBLEM ... give the new owner the big

This is the buyer's fault for not doing the appropriate checks.
Double shot!!

It's not your problem, buyer beware etc etc.
Also, does it actually have money owing or does it just have a security against it? When I bought my bike the owner had to clear it with the company he bought it from and from a finance company. In both cases he had paid the money back but they hadn't cleared the record against the bike because they were lazy.

I wouldn't give him the finger, a tad bit over the top. It's a moral delima as well. If I was the seller I'd somewhat feel slightly responsible for his problem and try and help him out as much as possible.And as far as the car goes ... its just one thing less the guy who originally owed the money can sell/have taken off him ...

People cock up, shit happens you never know what brick wall you'd hit someday.
