trade in time

hi beergutz
if you are worried about you privacy,maybe white out your details but nothing else .to a buyer of a second had vehicle it give an idea to the history and services

your name and address will be on registration papers which are mormally handed over and have to be on the transfer of ownership papers, so why the worry??

Shaker you are right. beergutz is otherwise removing the credibility of what he is trying to sell. A car with a service history.

These details are rquired by law to be displayed on the vehicle as part of LMCT Form 5:

FORM 5 Regulation 11 Motor Car Traders Act 1986 WITH STATUTORY WARRANTY under
section 54 of the Motor Car Traders Act 1986 Particulars of a Used Motor Car
offered for Sale, required in accordance with section 52(1) of the
Motor Car Traders Act 1986
A. Name and business address of the current owner of the motor car.
B. If the owner of the motor car is a motor car trader or special trader-

(i) if the last owner of the motor car was neither a motor car trader nor
a special trader, the words "name and address is available upon
request"; and

(ii) if the last owner of the motor car was a motor car trader or a special
trader, the name and business address of the motor car trader or
special trader.

The previous owners details will be made available to any prospective purchasers, so removing them form the service books is futile.

nothing to hide ! just do not want any phone calls or door knocks from people who look at car in car yard and want to know 'more' about the pajero.
it is 06 petrol auto with 41000 ks

I have deliberately left my name in the handbook so they can ring me and find out exactly what they are buying.

EG when I sold my Patrol the guy rang me saying how much he liked it but got a shock when he went to fill it up because despite me putting a list of improvements in it when I traded it, the dealer removed that and didnt tell him it had a long range tank in it.

Poor guy though it had a leak when it got up over 140 L

LOL

beergutz, you have no choice but to provide your name & address for the next purchaser!

That would apply to many other posts as well.

gee duncs, you didn't answer the question.would your children consider that polite ?

it is the first time i have traded in & was not sure if their is legal requirement to provide personal details to be left in car till someone removes service book etc .
which could take one owner or ten.
shaker has answered that as have some others .
thankyou & cheers

Sorry didn't mean to be impolite.

We have been talking at work about people's inability to make decisions. In particular people at a management level who are paid reasonable money to make decisions but feel the need to ring the boss for advice on everything. That discussion probably carried over into my reading of your post.

What would I do in your situation. I never would have considered taking my details out of the book. It wouldn't worry me.

If it did worry me I would block out my details in some way or lose the book. Some people have suggested you have to supply those details but if the page got torn out or the kids scribbled on it what can you do? If you look at my Facebook profile I was born in1920.

Shaker,

You are right. Sadly we live in a risk averse, pessimistic society. The old Aussie attitudes of "have a go" and "she'll be right" have long gone. What a pity I for one would much rather be optimistic.
