wing nut:
Hi all how can i legally claim a vehicle thats been abandoned for the last 3 years ,my friend has just bought a property which was a repossesion ,on the drive there is a w plate saab ,which 3 years ago the old owner parked it up and has not been since ,my friend wants this car gone and im happy to take it as its in very good condition ,but i want to do it all above board ,any help or suggestions greatfully accepted

carbore:
Was the car listed as part of the house purchase may have been on the list so the new house owner could say he "owned the car" ????

hobbit:
Send off for a new log book for yourself, if there is no objection from the previous owner your should be ok, DVLA normally send a letter to the current owner, if they recieve no reply you will recieve a log book

If they do recieve a query from the old owner tell them to get it shifted


I imagine there is a more legalistic method but this could be a basic route to take

wing nut:
his solicitor congratulated him on inheriting the car ,but we wanna do it legally ,this car is mint and is fully loaded ,it beggers belief that someone has just walked away from his home and belongings ,after doing a hpi check there is nothing untoward regarding the car ,if dvla write to the old owner then no reply will be given coz my mates bought the place lol..i,ve been told the vehicle was driveable before it was parked up
