Logbooks


Recommended Posts

There's a Corolla that I'm interested in buying but the seller said he does not have the log books as he lost it

This is often a common thing with cars.

If the seller appears honest about it (use your judgement) then it could be legitimately lost,

If not, it could be hiding an engine with major work done to it. Heck it may only run for another 10,000k and conk out.

Honestly if you can have a decent mechanic, possibly a friend look over it before you buy then there is no reason why you shouldn't.

A big thing to look at is REVS. Get a REVS check on the vehicle and it will tell you if its been in any accident before.

I think if you do those two things then you should be pretty well right to purchase the car, assuming everything checks out okay.

If you don't have a mechanic, and know your way around a car,

Hope all goes well mate, keep us posted
