But in all seriousness, how much would that actually be worth to weigh in? £20 maybe?

As already stated that's not what he's selling. All you need is a freshly nicked car with the same make, model, and colour, and this guy can sell you a whole new identity for it. V5, keys, reg number, the lot. As the car in the ad hasn't been written off the chances are you'd get away with it. It's as crooked as a very crooked thing.

You'd have to be a pretty desperate criminal to nick an 8 year old diesel A3 :/

I know this lol, I meant in order to go through all the faff of "ringing" it, I don't mean nicking it for a joyride or robbery or something. Wouldn't you aim for something like an S3? I dunno, I'm not a car thief. :p

I would say that joy riders are teen chavs looking to cause trouble by going after old battered cars.

its "free" money, i dont think it matters what model you go after, more than likely itll be whichever it is easier to get the identity for.

itll then be sold off, with "new" identity, to some unsuspecting punter, who ends up with a stolen/insurance company owned write off

when the "duplicate" car applies for tax twice in the same year then people start asking questions lol

the fuzz turn up and take "your" car away, sadly

but no, to the theives its not about the cooler car or whether they are more gangster driving a stolen S3 for a little while. you have to try and look at it in a "quick buck" mentality

Which won't happen in this case as the duplicate car is burned to a crisp. That's probably why he reckons someone will pay him a grand.

ive been googling for an AudiSport thread from years back when a poster had is S3 taken off him by the police
