Before buying a car, it must be legally clean - not be hijacked, pledged and not arrested. Any interested person can check the status of the car according to these criteria using free online services - let's get acquainted with them in more detail.
Machine validation: identifiers and data sources
Check the car for theft, arrest and state loan. number as the only identifier in many cases is problematic: as a rule, you also need the VIN of the car (in some cases, the body or chassis number is suitable instead). Actually, VIN can be considered the main identifier for obtaining the specified information.
The required identifiers are easily requested from the current owner of the car (seller). The very fact of refusal to provide them can be interpreted as a circumstance indicating that the car being sold has some problems.
Using the main identifiers - state number and VIN, any interested person can, using the available online services, find out:
- whether the car is stolen;
- whether the car was under arrest (that is, is there a ban on registration actions with it);
- whether the car is pledged by the bank where its owner took out the loan.
The main source of such data is the traffic police website. Its peculiarity is that it collects information on all regions of Russia. To get acquainted with them, you will need a VIN (or body and chassis number).
There are also regional portals: they provide information only for a specific constituent entity of the Russian Federation. For example, this is the portal of the Moscow City Hall. There you can get the required data about the car not only by VIN, but also by the state number (https://www.mos.ru/services/autohistory/check).
Let's take a closer look at how each type of information is requested on the traffic police website, where data for all regions should be displayed.
How to check a car for theft?
To check if the car is listed in theft, you need to go to the website GIBDD.RF, and then:
- Go to the "Vehicle check" section (the link to it is located at the bottom of the start page).
- Enter the VIN of the car (as a last resort - the number of the body and chassis).
- Find a line about checking for a wanted car.
- Click on the "Request" link.
- Enter the numeric code (if required).
Using the same interface on the traffic police website, you can find out if the car is under arrest - we will consider further how.
To obtain information about the arrest of the car - that is, about the presence or absence of prohibitions on the implementation of registration actions with her, you need:
- Again, go to the traffic police website, go to the "Check" section, enter the VIN.
- Find a line about checking restrictions on registration actions (this line must be next after the one in which a request is made to find a car in theft).
- Click on "Request", enter the code (if required).
The traffic police website can also be found:
- with the registration history of the car (in fact, with the number of transactions on it - in many cases corresponding to the number of owners);
It can be noted that the state number (supplemented by the number of the vehicle registration certificate) on the traffic police website provides information on car fines. To make a request about their presence or absence, you need to load the start page of the site, and then go to the "Checking fines" section (the link to it is next to the section for checking the car history). Next, you need to enter the state number and the number of the vehicle registration certificate, and then click on the "Request" button.
And if the user is interested in information about whether the car is pledged by the bank, then the traffic police website will not be able to provide them. To do this, you need to go to another Internet portal - the Register of Pledged Property. Let's consider how to use it in order to obtain the necessary information.
Checking a car for a loan
In order to check whether the car is pledged by the bank or not, you must:
- Go to the Registry website (https://www.reestr-zalogov.ru)
- Go to the "Find" section (the link to it is on the right side of the start page).
- Select a search method based on information about the subject of the pledge.
- Select the "Vehicle" tab.
- Enter VIN, click "Find", enter the verification code (if required).
Then the screen will display data about the car being pledged by the bank. If it is written that the information was not found, then everything is in order with the car.
Buying a used car is always a big risk for the buyer. Therefore, before you sign a vehicle sale and purchase agreement, you need to check the car for "cleanliness". You need to make sure that the car is not listed in theft, is not under arrest. And even if the seller has a TCP in his hands, this is not always a guarantee that he has the right to sell the car. The document may be fake, and the information contained in it may not coincide with the real technical data of the car.
In order not to get into an unpleasant situation when a person who bought a car, when registering it, finds out that he has acquired a stolen or arrested vehicle, it is necessary to conduct a preliminary check of the car. And you need to check the engine number with the data specified in the TCP. It is also necessary to punch this number through the inspection base road service... Only if the buyer does not find information that the vehicle is pledged or stolen, he can safely buy it, without fear that in the future he will be denied his registration or even withdrawn, if it suddenly turns out that the purchased they have the rightful owner of the vehicle.
Checking the engine number in the traffic police online
A convenient way to check the engine is to use the online verification service on the traffic police website. It is called "Checking the car". To find out the information about the vehicle, you will need to enter the VIN of the vehicle in the field of the verification program. It is also allowed to enter the chassis or body number into it. After that, the system will query the database and display the information of interest to the user. He will be informed if there are restrictions on the registration of vehicles with the specified data, or they are absent.
Before checking the engine number on the base, it is advisable to see it live on the car. Some hijacking criminals can change the engine number by interrupting it. Therefore, you need to carefully inspect it, carefully wiping the place of the engine where it was knocked out. If the interruption was made, then on a clean engine it will be clearly visible.
In addition to the traffic police website, a service for checking car engine numbers is available on thematic forums, specialized Internet sites. And through them, you can also find out if there are any restrictions on the sale or registration of a car. And every buyer of a vehicle must check it for "cleanliness" before purchasing it, since every year the number of fraudsters on the auto sales market increases, and honest buyers lose their money.
Conscientious car enthusiast who purchased motor vehicle, listed in theft, will eventually be left without transport and without the money paid for it. This outcome of the case is quite logical and predictable for several reasons:
- is unlikely to be able to carry out registration actions to re-register such a vehicle in the traffic police if the buyer follows the simplified purchase scheme, which has been introduced and is widely used in recent years. Here we are talking about the fact that the seller does not remove the car from the register, is not present at the re-registration procedure at the police station. As a rule, both parties to the transaction sign a purchase and sale agreement, and money is exchanged for property. After that, the buyer must register the car for himself. When the car is examined by a police officer, problems begin;
- upon finding a car that is on the wanted list, police officers will take measures to arrest it;
- the buyer of such a vehicle will have to repeatedly visit the police, participate in interrogations, give evidence;
- the car, at the end of the investigation, will be returned to the rightful owner;
- There will be no refund to the buyer, since the real car owner did not accept money from him, and intruders are unlikely to be found.
Vehicle check methods
How to check a car for theft? What should you pay attention to? What data is needed for verification? These and other questions always arise for the attentive buyer of a used car. As a rule, in the process of choosing a car, you have to break through only 1-2 cars for legal "purity", between which there is a choice in the end.
If, during a conversation with the seller about the technical condition of the vehicle, the timing of ownership and other nuances that only the owner can know, the buyer did not have any suspicions, you should pay attention to the documentation (PTS, STS) and identification numbers (VIN, engine number) ...
Passport and vehicle registration certificate should not raise suspicions of authenticity. Ideally, the TCP should be the original, not a duplicate. Since it is it, in the first place, that scammers fake. Engine numbers and VIN identification number must be legible, without traces of correction and completely match the numbers indicated in the documents.
For further verification, it is worth recording or photographing these particular data, as well as the passport data of the car owner.
Checking on the traffic police website
The very first assistant for checking any car is the official Internet resource of the traffic police. Anyone can use the site. To carry out the check, you need to know the VIN - the number of the car.
The online traffic police service provides complete and reliable information about the vehicle on the following points:
- vehicle registration history, number of owners and periods of ownership;
- participation in an accident;
- whether the vehicle is listed as hijacked or wanted;
- are there any restrictions (arrest) imposed on registration actions in relation to this vehicle;
- information about the collateral;
- information about OSAGO.
The database of stolen traffic police cars, the official website of which is in the public domain, is the most reliable source of information. Since the information comes from a government source, there is no reason not to trust it.
Thus, we can say that when contacting the website of the State Traffic Inspectorate, any citizen can get the most complete report on the life of any car. Even the owner himself is unlikely to tell in more detail about his history.
Search by Vin code
The VIN of a car is a unique code that consists of seventeen letters and numbers, each of which carries information:
- about the vehicle manufacturer (its geographical affiliation and name);
- O technical characteristics(model, type, equipment, engine, year of manufacture).
The check digit is encrypted in the ninth position of each VIN - code. It is designated by numbers from "0" to "9" or the letter "X". It is unauthorized changes in it that will not confirm the authenticity of the entire VIN-number of the vehicle. When examining and verifying this code, lawyers advise you to pay special attention to the 9th character.
Knowing the wine number of the car you like, you can make a comprehensive, duplicate check.
In addition to the traffic police website, you can punch a car through other specialized services. For example, for cars that are registered in the capital and its region, there is a specialized site AUTOCODE (avtokod.mos.ru).
With its help, you can duplicate all the information received on the traffic police website. In addition, this site will provide information on the operation of a car in a taxi. Also, in any city of the Russian Federation, there are commercial firms that carry out such checks. The report can be obtained both in electronic form and on paper.
Where can I find the car's Vin-code?
According to international standards, the VIN-code of a car must be applied to integral parts of the body or chassis, sometimes on special plates. They are called shtildik.
The main places to look for VINs are:
- under the hood;
- in a special window below the windshield;
- on the front of the driver's door;
- under the floor trim on the driver's side or front seat passenger;
In some cars the VIN number can be found elsewhere. As a rule, on the Internet you can find information about where the individual number of a particular model and brand of the vehicle is located, and even a certain year of manufacture. Therefore, as a preparation for the inspection process, you can find this information in advance.
Checking by engine number
Many car enthusiasts know that it is possible to check the engine for hijacking by the number. However, not everyone knows that if a vehicle has an international 17-digit VIN number, then it may not have other identification numbers, including the engine number. In other cases, it is. Moreover, the engine number is indicated only in the TCP, and such data are not reflected in the STS.
For verification, it is necessary to compare the number indicated in the document and actually printed on the working unit and make sure its authenticity. If the buyer has special skills, he can do it himself.
However, most buyers prefer to contact car services, where a specialist, in a short period of time and using certain reagents and knowledge, will verify the authenticity and verify the data. Such an examination is carried out only on a commercial basis.
If in 2011 amendments were made to the legislation, and the license plates of the body, engine and chassis were not checked when registering the vehicle, then in recent years the laws have changed again. Now, the inspection by a traffic police officer when reissuing a vehicle must include a reconciliation of the engine number.
It is the mismatch of numbers, suspicions of falsification or their unreadability that can cause refusal to register and send the vehicle for examination. Therefore, before making a purchase, be sure to make sure that the car and its parts bear the original numbers, which completely coincide with the documents.
Using the license plate of the car
Experienced buyers and automotive lawyers advise against relying on only state registration plate (GRL) vehicle checks. After all, it is he who, in the first place, is faked by the attackers. However, it is possible to check the GRZ as part of a comprehensive investigation. On the website of the traffic police by state number, you can find information on unpaid fines.
And on the Internet resource www.avtobot.net by state number (or VIN) you can find out the whole history of the car, check for theft, fines, arrests.
Checking other car restrictions
For complete peace of mind when buying a used used car, you can check the status of the vehicle for the debt obligations of its owner and the seizure of property.
Knowing the name of the owner, the date and place of his birth, you can go to the website of the bailiffs (www.fssprus.ru) and find out if there are any arrests of movable property. On the website of the notary chamber (www.reestr-zalogov.ru) you can get information about whether there is a subject of pledge regarding a particular car.
If the vehicle is encumbered by any financial and credit institution, for example, a bank, then such information will be in the notaries' database. In the case of a pledge from a private lender or pawnshop, it is unlikely that such information will be reflected in the notary. But still, it doesn't hurt to check. To check, you need to specify the VIN.
The consequences of buying a stolen car
It is logical to assume that buying a stolen car will not bring anything good for the buyer. As a rule, he, who honestly fulfilled his terms of the purchase and sale agreement in terms of payment, finds himself without money and without a car.
Since when traffic police officers find (usually this happens during the inspection of the vehicle at registration) a car that, according to its external features, fits the description of the stolen, and even more so, listed in theft, it will be confiscated from the new car owner.
Then the car is sent for examination, and the buyer gets an unforgettable experience from long-term communication with the police. V best case, he will be held in the case of theft as a witness, at worst - as an accused. It is unlikely that the buyer will be able to complete the procedure for re-registering a suspicious car on himself. Usually, after investigation, the movable property is returned to the real owner.
The buyer is left without money. Since the money should not be returned by the owner of the car (he did not sell the car, he did not take money), but the person who "sold" the stolen vehicle to him. The chances of getting money from scammers are always close to zero.
When buying a used car, there is always a risk of purchasing not a personal vehicle, but some problems. Therefore, before making a deal, buyers meticulously inspect the technical condition of the transport, ask to show all the documents and ask the seller tricky questions, trying to understand whether the owner is going to sell a credit, faulty or even welded car and whether the car is stolen. And if technical problems- this is a fixable nuisance, then legal problems will only lead to the seizure of the car in favor of the true owner and a waste of money.
Do not hope that the seller will not be able to deceive the traffic police officers. The current legislation regarding the registration of the vehicle gives the new owner 10 days after the conclusion of the purchase and sale agreement to complete the registration actions and does not require the previous owner to remove the car from the register. That is, if earlier the legal purity of the car was checked when the seller was deregistered and it was possible to refuse the purchase in case of problems, now this procedure takes place only with the buyer, and he will have to cope with all the complications. Therefore, the question is very important: how to find out if a car is stolen or not?
Vehicle check
When visually inspecting a future purchase, it is difficult to unequivocally identify signs of hacking, because the criminals were preparing the car for sale and replaced parts that were damaged during the abduction. But if they acted in a hurry, then there is a chance to find traces of theft common to most stolen cars, indicated in the diagram.
However, you should not completely trust only a visual inspection, because individual signs of hacking can be present both in just old cars, and in those Vehicle the owner of which did not pay enough attention technical condition... Therefore, you should additionally look at the behavior of the owner (worried, in a hurry, trying to sell as soon as possible) and analyze his answers to questions regarding the acquisition and operation. If the seller is confused about where the car was bought and for how much, where the service took place, what was repaired, what is the mileage, etc., then there is reason to believe that the car may be stolen.
Verification of documents
The next step is to check the documents for the car, the main of which is the vehicle passport (PTS). It is worth paying attention to the signs of authenticity:
- When viewed by light, the watermarks applied during its manufacture should be clearly visible on the TCP form.
- To the left of the TCP number there should be a round or narrow oblong hologram, the images and inscriptions on which are clear and readable.
- In the upper left part of the form, there is a volumetric image that changes its color from green to gray depending on the angle of inclination.
- The first two digits of the TCP number must correspond to the code of the region in which the passport was issued. For Russian cars the document is issued by the manufacturer (clause 16 of the TCP), for foreign cars - by the territorial customs authority (clause 23 of the TCP).
- In the lower right part there must be the seal and signature of the person in charge of the organization that issued the passport.
The location of the checked elements is shown in the figure.
In addition, you need to check if the VIN numbers and the body or chassis number match. If not, then some of the parts have changed, which must be indicated in the "Special notes" field and may be a sign of an attempt to legalize the stolen car. In the same column, the reasons for issuing a new title will be indicated, if the owner has a duplicate document in his hands. The very existence of a second passport is by no means criminal, but it is worth weighing the pros and cons more carefully if a duplicate is issued instead of a lost title, since criminals often “lose” a passport in order to get the original form.
Car database check
Unfortunately, both of the above methods are not guaranteed, even if both the machine and the documents look perfect. How to find out if a car is stolen using databases?
Check through the traffic police
Through the State Traffic Inspectorate, anyone can get information about the legal cleanliness of the car. There are two ways to do this:
- Contact any traffic police officer, presenting the title and providing a car for a visual inspection.
- Go to the official website of the traffic police and in the "Services" section select the subsection "Car check", where you can find out by the VIN number whether the car is wanted or under arrest.
Both verification options are free and can be considered the most reliable, since the information in the official database is updated several times a day.
Checking on third-party services
In addition to government services, a car inspection service is also available in many car dealerships, which provide similar information for a fee. There are also online services that allow you to find out on the Internet whether a car has been stolen not only in Russia, but also abroad, which is important when buying a used foreign car. Typically, these sites offer CARFAX and AutoCheck reports for US and Canadian vehicles for a small fee.
You can also get information about the car and its license plate for free on the website avtocod.ru. In this case, the result is unlikely to differ from the information received from the traffic police.
Thus, in order to check the legal purity of the purchased car, it is better to carry out a whole range of measures: carefully examine the car itself for signs of burglary, and its documents - for signs of forgery, and then use the available Russian and foreign databases of stolen cars.
Every buyer should check the car for a deposit. Buying a car from your hands, you can fall into the hands of scammers and it is easy to be left without transport and without money. We will analyze how to check a car for bail and how scammers cheat.
Buying a car is always a responsible event, especially if a suitable option is chosen on secondary market... One of the main points is checking the car for collateral at the bank and other bases.
Signs of a mortgage car and how not to fall for a fraudulent scheme
It is possible to identify a "hostage" in a car by several signs:
The most obvious is the presence in the CASCO insurance policy of data about the bank - the lender. This information indicates a car loan that is still valid and not fully repaid.
Another clear sign is the absence of the original passport of the technical device. The seller's words about some alleged difficulties in restoring the vehicle title are most likely a lie, since if a duplicate of the document is lost, a duplicate of the document is drawn up in a very short time according to one application to the traffic police. If the car is on credit - the original title is kept in a bank or credit institution.
Do not purchase a car using a power of attorney. It does not give full ownership rights, the seller remains the owner and can dispose of the property at his own discretion without your notice.
And even more so, you should not trust the seller if he cannot, but rather does not want to prove the honest purchase of the car, for example, to provide the corresponding sales contract. Of course, after all, it is the contract that contains information about who the vehicle is pledged.
Note the elapsed time from when the vehicle was purchased by the previous owner to the current deal with you. If it is suspiciously small, there is another sign on the face that the car does not have a very clean history.
Too much low price the purchased vehicle is also a reason to think, rather the owner decided to just get rid of it, and, as they say, throw you. In addition, in the passport of the car there may be a mark about its purchase under a commission agreement. Also, avoid transactions with people suspiciously frequently changing the value of the product.
How does a fraudulent scheme work?
The circuit works like this:
A fraudster buys a car on credit and resells it at a low price.
Then, within a couple of months, he still makes credit payments - he gives the new owner to register the car - and disappears.
The bank puts the car on the wanted list, and all the paths lead to you.
Naturally, the vehicle is confiscated, but no one will return the money to you.
Attention! Even if all of the above means did not help you identify any violations on the part of the seller, do not rush to rejoice - the car can be pledged by a private person or in a pawnshop. In this case, it will be really difficult to find the catch.
Ways to know the "cleanliness" of the car
One of the most effective and simple ways to find out the security of the car - is a check by the vin code or state number. To do this, on the avtobot.net website, you need to fill in the appropriate fields and click the search button. On the portal of the State Automobile Inspectorate, the section "Car check" is located in the pull-down menu "Services". By the way, recently the “Register of collateral” has been working, there you can also check the history of the car, and the corresponding statement can be easily ordered from a notary for 200 rubles.

Buying a used car: how to check a car for theft? Is it possible online?
How not to buy yourself a stolen car?
When making a deal to buy a used car, a person is most afraid of buying a stolen car. Indeed, cases of selling far from the "cleanest" equipment are found both on automotive markets and when buying a car over the Internet. There is always a risk, but with a competent approach and certain knowledge, many problems can be avoided.
In order not to buy a stolen car, it is necessary to "break through" it at the traffic police office. This can be done directly during the sale and purchase of the vehicle and its re-registration (deregistration). Experts carry out a set of procedures that allow you to determine the "cleanliness" of the car for the fact of theft, its being pledged on a loan, and so on. After all the inspection and analysis procedures are completed, the buyer receives a special Act, which confirms that the car is not stolen.
But it is far from always possible to go through the vehicle check procedure, because often a car is bought by proxy, without visiting the traffic police office.
In such a situation, you need to know some subtleties that will help to recognize a stolen car.
FIRST thing to do is check the similarity VIN numbers indicated on the vehicle and in technical passport(PTS) auto. They must match. If you wish, you can check the VIN of the car if you go to one of the special resources on the Internet. There are no problems with this today. For example, you can "punch" the number at the link //vinformer.su/ru/ident/vin/steal.php. But, by the way, this option is far from the only one.
SECOND STEP - checking the presence and conformity of all metal plates, stickers and labels that are attached to the doors of the vehicle. In this case, special attention must be paid to the year of manufacture of the car (it is usually stuffed on the side windows of used cars). Using a magnifying glass, it is necessary to accurately determine and then rewrite the TCP number and its series (this is necessary for further verification).
Pay special attention to the peculiarities of applying numbers and letters in the TCP number. If they have different size, and a different distance is noticed between the letters, then it is possible, with a high probability, to talk about the fake of the TCP.
Checking a car for theft by state number
At the very least, such a car was in an accident, at the most, it was stolen. Most often, there is a special grid on some numbers in the technical passport. If there is none, then we can talk about a probable fake TCP.
THIRD STEP - pay special attention to the presence of watermarks on the technical passport. If they are not there, and the document shows metal "hair" threads in UV light, then the TCP is fake, and the car is stolen.
FOURTH STEP. Study the seller's documents carefully. Ask for a passport, driving documents. If you have a power of attorney, study it as well. A service book for the car must be presented. Listen carefully to the seller's walkthrough story Maintenance and compare with the data recorded in service book... If there are serious inconsistencies, then it is worth doubting the sincerity of the narrator's words.

How to check the car on the bases of the traffic police on your own? How to find out the history of the car by the VIN code, the real number of owners by vehicle title, the presence of an accident, a collateral in the bank, theft and restrictions? Three simple steps every motorist should know in this article.
Millions of cars are bought and sold every day. According to statistics, 48% of cars have had an accident at least once, 19% are twisting their mileage and 1-2% were used in a taxi. How to avoid becoming a victim of scammers and buy a “clean” car? Below are 5 points every motorist needs to know. So, how to check a car before buying:
1. We check the car on the bases of the traffic police through online services:
The first thing to do is to independently check the vehicle on all bases in order to find out its entire history and legal purity. To do this, we need the vin code of the car or, in some cases, the license plate will be enough. You need to punch through official databases: traffic police, FSSP, FCS, register of pledges, banks, taxi register, OSAGO insurance companies, decryption vin... Any car enthusiast can do it independently and for free.
There are also online services that do this all automatically. They are directly connected with all official bases and it is much easier to find out the history of the car. I recommend that you always check the vehicle in all services, including these, as they collect data from the Internet (forums, platforms, ads, social.
networks) and can give out more information than just the traffic police website.
1) AvtoBot.net - on this site you can find out the whole history of vehicles by vincode or by license plate of the car:
- Get all information from the traffic police
- Number of owners by TCP
- Transport photos
- The presence of an accident (road traffic accidents)
- Are there any restrictions on registration
- Customs clearance on the basis of the Federal Customs Service
- Check the vehicle for theft / search and legal purity
- Ads: who, when and for how much sold (auto.ru, avito.ru, drom.ru, etc.)
- Information about the owner, which was indicated on the Internet
2) Autocode is a good service, but it is paid, the cost is about 450 rubles / car. In general, he conducts the same check, only sometimes you can find out about registration as a taxi or get information about the mileage if the owner has passed an official technical service. inspection. Before buying, you can find out which items there is information on, and which items are missing, so as not to pay in vain.
2. On-site diagnostics of the expert and live inspection of the car.
If the iron friend turned out to be legally clean, you researched him on all sites and you are satisfied with the price, then it's time to make an appointment and inspect the car in person.
If you are not a specialist, then before buying, we recommend that you conduct an inspection together with an expert, an autocriminalist, or go to a car service and carry out diagnostics there. This will protect you from many surprises that you may not notice, such as a twisted mileage, errors in the system or a painted body.
If you buy a car in Moscow, you can order on-site diagnostics of the car from an expert verified by Autobot. On average, the cost of the report will be 3000 rubles. The plus is that the auto experts recommended by Autobot have been tested and are good specialists, not scammers. Call the phone number or leave a request here and an expert will contact you.

The car is stolen: how to check for theft
3. Verification of TCP documents and reissuance
The documents should be checked for authenticity, of course, when inspecting the car itself, but we took it out in a separate item. So, how to check the PTS for authenticity:
1) Inspect the passport ornament. This is a kind of pattern that should be clearly printed over the entire surface.
2) The hologram on the document must be High Quality and easy to read from different angles. Pay attention to the little things, the text should be clear, without vague letters.
3) There is a special pattern on the back of the TCP in the corner, which should be felt to the touch. It can change color depending on the viewing angle.
4) Each vehicle has a RUS watermark. We scan through the document and check for availability.
This is a very cursory check of the TCP, we will tell you in more detail in a separate article.
And the last point is called "turn on your head." Nobody will insure you against buying a "left" car and no textbook will give you any guarantees, so be careful 🙂 These are simple rules, to check the car before buying.

The simplification of the procedure for selling vehicles (TS) is undoubtedly a good innovation, but it also has its drawbacks. Now there is no need to remove a car from the register in order to draw up a sale and purchase agreement - re-registration is possible already during operation by the new owner. This means that the buyer during the transaction will not be able to check the car for being hijacked, restrictions, fines, arrests and pledges - all "pitfalls" will be discovered after the purchase, which is unlikely to be appealed.
