Penny-Pincher!!

Just think yourself lucky that your car works! We've just possibly lost 4.5k and have a thread running about it. Im disabled having regular treatment with severe illnesses which are life threatening. The guy knew this.

Presumably no HPI check?

As for the number of owners shown on a V5C::
Original registration to the Lady - keeper No 1.
The Lady changes to a private plate - keeper No 2.
The Lady puts original plate back on - keeper No 3.

My son bought a car privately last Friday with the V5C showing 6 previous keepers but the HPI showed 3 plate changes so physically the seller was the 4th keeper and not the 7th.

mine is totally different, i bought my car as an ex demo in 2004 and put a private plate on in 09

my v5 isnt here as sent away to change address on it but i can state for a fact it shows first owner till 2004 then me, and thats a plate bought from the dvla with them doing the transfer

Re: pulliptears & Strider - thanks for the eduation, and obviously sincere apologies to Strider IF he was using the Black Country dialect. It's a pet peeve of mine that stuff's being Americanised too, and I do worry that people in the UK forget how to use their own language and take on the US's version of it. I'm in Northern Ireland so have to plead ignorance about local English dialect!
Would like to see an update about this car BTW!

I've actually heard Mom used here in Staffordshire many times, though it is more prevalent in The Black Country. Seem to recall it is used in the North East as well, Mom and Mam are both quite common regionally anyway.

Fascinating thing local dialect, here in Stoke it seems to have evolved into its own language, though you don't hear it quite so often anymore when I was a child I'd listen to the 'Owd Uns' talking and not have a clue over half of what they said. 'Costner understand?' they'd said. I'd have to reply with 'I conner duck'

Never heard anyone use mom in the North East. Mam yes, that is the most common one (in that area) I would say.

Seems to be more Mam and Mammy there, though I have read of 'Moms' up that way and in Scotland too, it is though by far more prevalent in the Midlands.
