Selling technical term... - Morpheus
Hi guys,

Looking at buying a car and have just seen a rather cheap looking car that states "sadly on vcar hence" and then a good price....

Anyone know what vcar means?

It means its been subject to an insurance claim and the log book is stamped as such.

It's on the HPI register as "written off". The V5 may or may not say anything depending on what classification the insurance company put on it and how long ago it happened.
