If you buy a car from a private buyer which is later found to be stolen you risk losing both the vehicle and the money you paid for it. Before you buy a car privately, make sure to check if the seller is the registered owner of the car, whether they have all original log books and history of servicing, and whether any identification plates or engine and chassis numbers look tampered with. Alternatively, order a vehicle report from Information Brokers to do it for you. At a low price you will receive all the information you need to confirm if the vehicle and its owner are legitimate. Information Brokers is accredited with asic.gov.au as an information broker, and is an accredited registrar with auda.org.au.
