find out what finance company has title over the car , ring them get them to send you a final pay out figure , pay out the insurance company , they assign the title to you , pay the remainder to the current owner

or

ask the owner to pay it out and get a letter stating the car is freehold and pay the owner the total amount

Edited by arkon
hmmm so there isn't a site that i can go to and it'd tell me all the info i want aye :P?

mmm

alright

ill see wha ti can do

cheers

CHi

just get the engine/VIN number and registration and call REVS

http://www.revs.nsw.gov.au/buyguide/private.htm

they will let you know there is money owing etc and you basically have to write two checks and proceed as arkon stated. make sure the car is under your name before handing any cheques over i.e perform transfer of car/money in a bank where eventually everybodys got peace of mind and nobody can get screwed. Oh and call revs back and make sure its out of their list. good luck

BTW give us details of the car u r speaking of, maybe forum ppl know it

Edited by kidd

I got burnt by this once.... DEFINITELY ring REVS... and as the others said you write out a cheque to her finance company and the rest to her.

Even if the amount of the car is LESS than the amount she owes, the finance company will still release the encumberance on the car if the cheque is written out to them.

REVS will advise you on how to proceed anyway so take their advice.

Although - I wouldn't suggest doing Arkon's 2nd suggestion, as I did this and the guy nicked off to the UK and my car was repossesed because he didnt pay out the loan. But it was the letter that enabled me to charge him with fraud and get my car back. BUT you don't want to go down this path... Trust me... it was messy.

yeah its the white one on antilag for 10k im just buyinig this for my brother for his L plates and yeah hehe don't wanan like get scammed or nothing mmm so ring revs and they'll tell me what to do ? i got her Vin/Rego Number but no engine number sooo can i still perform this check cheers

Cheers

Ring REVS and find out? 1300 304 024

The Western Australian REVS site is https://bizline.docep.wa.gov.au/revs/

Go to this link and you can do your own search

https://bizline.docep.wa.gov.au/revs/public...ch.cfm?search=1

Although the online search just tells you it is encumbered. You still need to ring to find out the other details.

You need rego, VIN, Engine number.

Anyone else need spoon feeding?

You have the information you need. Thread Closed.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
