Muppetsmuppet Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 Think this might stir the place up a bit . Does anyone else get p@@Sed off with all the cars and shells on ebay with no id and no v5 ? I know a lot of people are not bothered , and no doubt some don't have any because its lost or its been used for rallying etc , but come on , it just fuels more theft turning a blind eye to it all doesnt it . I mean theres one on ebay saying its got no id but you can [maybe ] make out the tag still on it . And then you get people selling the v5's as 'shell beyond repair etc ' . And people wonder why so many osf's get nicked , only to turn up after a year or two spent in the back of big vinnies lock up .
PaulMags Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 yeah its a piss of but what alot of them are doing now is selling the id seperately as there getting good money for that especially when there tax excempt or avo or rs id.I meam whats avo and rs id going for these days 500 plus.
rallyesport04 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 i see a early mex one go for around the 800 mark as for rs1600 lotto numbers
PaulMags Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I got offered a mk2 escort standard 2 door plates for 450 the other day.
Escort Mk1 4 Door Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 i was robbed i got 280 for a 1300 tax excempt mk1 4 door v5,tags and plates
johnnyspencer Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 yep, pi**es me right off that theres so many on ebay. pretty obvious there going to end up on a nicked car. i just hope the people selling them get theres nicked. every time i see one i think it could be my car the buyer is planning to put it on next. you never know whos got there eye on your motor. 2 rivets 4 screws and your fu**ed. mines having numbers stamped in hidden places as i rebuild it and it will have a tracker fitted.
Escort Mk1 4 Door Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 i sold that one was it came spare with the car and i didnt like having just an id laying about even if tax except id rather keep paying tax and have the history, but it went to a guy that has a mk2 and a few mk1's but he bought a rotten shell with no id so i was like take it away othere than that i do not agree
dacar Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 The car will never be a proper RS, Sport, Mex or whatever the tags say, so it should set alarm bells ringing at DVLA if they kept a better track of history etc BUT THEY DONT so its easy for the car thief and ringers to do their stuff and not just with Fords. Modern BMW, Audi and Merc's are more common than we think.
herb capri Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 how about this , a mate called me after buying 4 cars in a barn 3 duff rusty mk 5 escor/ mk 5 tina estate in a heap , but a mk 1 escort 2 door full of bits but nothing sweet he shifted the others, and brought the escort home. i came over to check it out no id was found so we dug , it was early shell but something was saying dig, so on strut top was a number, on a rear qtr glass a reg ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, later search on computer showed it to be a rs1600!! we applied for log book and got it then ,dvla rang and said OOPs its already an id on a car in use, they checked shell and the other guys. well his was facelift and running a pinto ours a avo shell [well looked like it] the other guy gets the id. why? no idea we are waiting to find out what happens now. mike
rallyesport04 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 that aint right if you got the real deal or the most of the original car the plate should go with it i would argue that one
herb capri Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 well they are "possibly" going to issue another reg to the shell however what value would that shell have with no real history and is it worth lavashing great wads restoring a rs 1600 [think of the engine] ouch!
johnnyspencer Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 some f**king wan**r tried breaking into my garage last night, bet they have an ebay v5 ready and waiting!
herb capri Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 thats sick ,yes probably has v5 but do yourself and your car a favour ,buy a tracker, i got one off saavi and its the best invest ment i made for my car ,i know where she is where shes going on what road ,it ace and if anyone has hidden it I KNOW WHERE IT IS! cops dont look these days but you can mike
johnnyspencer Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 yes i have been looking at trackers theres so many out there i dont know which one to get!
