Type 3 questions....please help

[Mr9a.fastyowner]

I am busy with negotiations for a type 3 squareback in EC yes quite a drive but as you all know i have been looking for one for years...

Now i quite like this one alot she needs alot of tlc but the owner has got palers its 4 years behind its license but he says he thinks she is scrapped ?!? So how do i sort that out ?

Next thing is she has a 4speed manual gearbox but no motor so will i be able to get a type 3 pancake 1600 easy or is there someone that has one laying around for me in working condition?

And as soon as i have her home i will start a thread

First & foremost, get the current owner to get the valid papers first, it could be frustrating & costly for you and you might even land up not being able to get it in your name without valid documentation. The way I see it .... No paperwork in the current owners name - NO DEAL, no exceptions.
Had a dude at my place, paid R20000 for a split bus with no papers only to find that it's on the database as stolen.

Why would anyone NOT have papers for their vehicle except if it was stolen? I am very, very suspicious of such vehicles.

When I bought the Fugly, the Paper issue also sounded fishy, I asked the PO to e-mail me copys of what they had, went to the Post Office ( License Dept) and had it verified.
As it happened, I had all I needed, and the sale went through.
