Why not write 2 cheques - one to the finance house to which the money is owed and the balance to the vet?
Then your mind is at rest and she can't get you into trouble by not repaying it.

If she had been frank with us right from the start we might well have done that always assuming that there is not more owing than the car is worth.
As it was I was left with the impression that something was badly wrong and I didn't want to be involved in it. There are thousands of used cars out there but my son has only one lot of money.

Absolutely Repeat this mantra to every used car buyer,
Used cars are not rare or unique,. if there is anything you are not happy with, move on, another will be along in just a moment.

In UK vets change their Porsches every time the ashtrays fill up with sweetie wrappers.

Especially the horse vets, I used to live in Newmarket!!

That's how I've lawyas understood the situation with private purchases, unless the finance company can prove that you knew the car had outstanding finance (ie you'd done it to try to defraud the finance company).

If I remember correctly, technically, it's not hers to sell.

,it really isnt worth the hassle as already said and i usually find the more professional the person the more likely they are to try and screw you
2 cars in the drive and nothing in the fridge is how i see them
|
why not just make the cheque out to the finance company for the final balance..and the remainder to her???

That was my initial thought the other day. Then believed that I might be confusing it with cars bought on hire purchase, which remain the property of the finance company until final payment.

"another will be along in just a moment."
You were completely right TVM. I went down the city to see my sons yesterday and there was another car parked on the verge with a for sale sign just round the corner from where my boys live. Same type as the first car, same age, lower mileage and a higher spec. We had a test run, it seems ok, the finance check came up clear and we have booked a mechanical check with the local independent. Best of all - not only is the car better but it is the same price as the first one. If the mechanics report is ok my boy will be putting an offer in on it.

make sure you check the engine and chassis number from the car...... and that they are the same on the log book (form V5).......
although in theory the engine could have been changed..albeit it should have been updated with DVLA, but often isn't....... but that might be a reason why you wouldn't want it I suppose, depending on it's age.
it would be very easy to have the V5 of a severely damaged car (that will be binned), steal another similar one, then sell you the stolen one using the legitimate V5....... and if you're buying it at the side of the road, you don't know who you're dealing with do you?
