Selling my car. VIN number question
I have recently put my car for sale and have had a call from someone asking for my VIN number. He did ask a few other questions but why would he want to know the VIN number ?Ive never had this asked before and cant help think its dodgy. What do you lot think ?

to see if it matches up with the reg on the log book?
|
probably checking whether import or not as vin number is a lot shorter on imports?
don't give it him |
Probably for an HPI check - they can be done on reg, but VIN is more accurate. Of course he could be trying to clone your car....

so do you think i should i give him it or not ?

As Meridian says itll be for an HPI check in all probablilty. Unfortunately it could also be for a fraudulent application for a log book for your car; either for a so-called 'clone' (a lot of this goes on) or for yours after theyve skanked it (unlikely). Id say that hes welcome to HPI it after hes been to see it; you can get a measure of him then.
