car dvla registration - Piece of mind before you buy
The used car could be a "ringer" or a "clone". Both these terms refer to stolen vehicles with a false identity. A ringer uses the identity of a scrapped vehicle to conceal its history, while a clone simply takes the identity of another car on the roads – so you will have two cars with the same number plates driving around! If the chassis number (VIN) doesn't match the number plate be extremely cautious – and be ready to walk away from the sale. A used car check will tell you the history of the car instantly.

A car dvla registration with full history costs, on average, less than 1% of your overall spend on a used car. At the very least, it provides you with peace of mind. But a car dvla registration could be saving you the loss of the car, your money – and even your safety on the roads. Do you really want to take that gamble?

  • Chevrolet unveils Aveo supermini
    Chevrolet has revealed the production version of its new five-door Aveo supermini.

    On sale in the UK next autumn, it follows two sporty RS concept versions that were shown earlier in the year at the Detroit and Geneva motor shows.

    At first glance the Aveo might look like a three-door car because the handles for the rear doors are hidden in the C-pillars.

    Two petrol and two diesel engines will be available from launch. The 1.2-litre petrol develops 85bhp while the 1.4-litre has 99bhp and will be available with a six-speed automatic transmission for the first time.

    The 1.3-litre diesel delivers either 74bhp or 95bhp and will have engine stop-start technology to improve economy.

    Chevrolet promises lively handling for the car, which, it says, has been fine-tuned to cater for European tastes.

  • How to deal with car salesmen - part 1
    What Car? Target Price mystery shoppers experience the full range of tactics that sales staff use to get the most cash out of car buyers.

    One recent experience at a Peugeot dealer uncovered two typical tactics that we're going to reveal here.

    Learn how to spot these tactics and you'll know how to deal with them when they're used against you, whichever brand of car you're shopping for.

    Tactic one – 'Sorry, we can't discount that car.'
    This is, almost certainly, complete rubbish. The majority of cars on sale are available with a discount. The exceptions are models available in limited numbers, such as a Ferrari 458, where demand will always outstrip supply.

    Recently launched cars where demand is buoyant will also miss out on the biggest discounts.

    So, you're unlikely get a discount on a new Ferrari, but how about a Peugeot RCZ?

    We were told by one Peugeot dealer that: 'Unfortunately Peugeot have said that anyone who discounts the RCZ will have the rights of selling the car taken away from them.'

    Peugeot denies they have threatened dealers with any such action, admitting it's just a case of 'salesmanship' in action.

    However, a spokesman for Peugeot said: 'There has been so much demand that the RCZ doesn't attract the same kind of incentives that other Peugeot products enjoy.

    'There would be no point in discounting the car and we have communicated that to dealers.'

    Competition laws exist to ensure that Peugeot, or any other importer, can't dictate to franchised dealers the price at which cars are sold. That's why when you look in a pricelist it says 'recommended retail price,' not compulsory retail price.

    If you're told by a dealer they can't discount, for any reason, be suspicious. Consult our Target Prices to see the most you should pay for any new car and don't take no for an answer.

    You should be able to find a dealer or broker that will discount more than our Target Price, but get in touch with us if you can't and we'll put you in touch with one that will.

    As far as discounts on an RCZ goes, take a look at the hundreds that Drivethedeal.com is offering off prices.

    Don't expect a big discount on newly lauched cars such as the Peugeot RCZ
    Tactic two – 'You have to buy now to get this price.'
    This can be true, but more often than not it is just used to seal the deal by panicking buyers into signing on the dotted line.

    Take time to satisfy yourself you're happy with the deal and don't be pressurised. Go for a breath of fresh air away from the pressure-cooker atmosphere of the dealership, so you can look over the details with a cool head.

    The same Peugeot dealer that told us they couldn't discount the RCZ told us we needed to order now to avoid the increase in next January's VAT increase.

    This simply isn't true.

    Even if a car you order now isn't delivered or paid for in full until next year, a dealership can raise a tax 'point of sale' this year, when you place a deposit, which means VAT will be applied at the current rate, not the increased level of 20%.

    Come back tomorrow for part two.

  • Vauxhall reveals GTC Paris Concept
    This is the Vauxhall GTC Paris Concept, which will make its debut at the Paris motor show later this month.

    Hints at new Astra Sport Hatch
    Vauxhall describes the GTC Paris Concept as 'the strongest hint yet to the Astra Sport Hatch's successor.'


    The car maker has suggested that a production version 'will not stray far' from the concept car and that it will retain the GTC name for the production car.


    The concept car is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a start-stop system and is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.

    It's fitted with a limited slip differential and an updated version of Vauxhall's Flexride adaptive shock absorber system.

    Despite looking production-ready, the three-door Astra is at least a year away from going on sale.
