Default Help! The car im buying is not what the dvla says it is!

As above im suppose to pick a car up 2mor and i've tried gettin info from dvla about the car and its says its a grey 205 gti 1.6 when its suppose to be a red gti 1.9.
And insurance sites keep sayin its a 405!
Anyone know of a decent site where i can get the right info?

Assuming you haven't paid for it yet, there's nothing you need to know about this car.
Stay well clear, there are plenty more around.

Check you have the correct reg number and you can have a look here DVLA Vehicle Licensing Online | Home and click on the Vehicle enquiry tab.

As said if it is incorrect run away as fast you can.

So many cars for sale that it's false economy to chase a 'cheap' one - run away!
