BUYING A USED VEHICLE

Australia has one of the highest rates of vehicle theft in the western world. 

Almost 90,000 vehicles are stolen each year and around one-quarter will never be recovered.  A large number of unrecovered vehicles end up back on the market with new identities and are sold to unsuspecting buyers.

If you buy a car from a private buyer and it is later found that it was stolen, or there is money owing on it, you may lose both the vehicle and the money you paid for it.
