As far as I know only the person owing money can check how much is owed because of privacy laws. Instead of buying a report, you could have just text the rego number to 3463 & you would have received a text back saying if any money was owed on vehicle. although, the text also would not tell you how much. but text is cheaper than buying a report.

Google the Securities Register.

Or you could talk to the previous owner.

put the reg in someone elses name quick, at least then the repo company wont know where to look for it if they come looking for it

Most of the time car is paid off and finace company hasnt taken the hook off.I think its costs them to do it.!

Find out who the hook is with.

If money still owed . they will be around to collect very fast.
Phone them from a phone box.

Why didn't you do this check and ask these questions BEFORE you bought the vehicle!

I bet you're glad now that you saved that $1 to text the registration number to FIND and confirm it.

Saying a car is legit doesnt mean it hasnt got $ owing. Its not illegal to have $ owning so yes its legit. Legit means not stolen, reg not dead (not been converted) etc.

Beautiful- my daughters husband, old know it all brought a car from mr believable over a weekend, a flash fast white car, after 12 months he sold it, after 2 weeks it got Repossessed, $10,000.00 owing to CREDIT UNION, buyer takes husband to DTto recover the $10K he paid the repo man- husband ended up paying the buyer $50 a week till it was paid off. Cool eh. For a buckold know it all would have been $10K richer.

There is an 0900 number you can ring, cant for the life of me remember it or what they are called but they tell you every little detail you need to know

Of course every car is legit, debt-free and a fantastic buy. Every vendor is also amazingly honest, generous and fully trustworthy and if they say it's legit then it must be.

So he was only "reasonably" honest then!

'Legit' doesn't mean anything.

When my son was looking for a new car we got two Carjam reports that stated money owing. It also said who the financer was so I just rang them. Although they could not tell me the amounts owing, they did confirm money was still owing and told us to get the owner to contact them. We decided to leave them as both times the financers were helpful enough to advise 'discreetly' to avoid them.
