    hey just a quick question about a REVS certificate.

    im getting a VR wagon and got a REVS, now does this check if the car has been stolen? like its unregistered etc, i know it checks if money is owing but does it check if its been reported stolen? im pretty sure it does but yeh;)..also no i dont think its been stolen but you never know in this world:p

    I use the online one, and the REVS just checks for monies oweing, they have other more expensive ones that check if its been stolen.

    dont qld transport have a register now that you can check your car against to see if it's been stolen, or in a crash? pretty sure i heard about it somewhere before.

    revs only does a finance check, money owing, thats it

    well time will tell if im driving down the road and a cop pulls me up lol but i doubt its been stolen. i mean i have no feeling that it has juts wanted to know if it included it inm the revs (now i know it doesnt:))

    anyway its a VR commodore station wagon...blue..has 165 000 on teh clock (not sure if odometer has stoped or not) runs good starts pretty quick has 7 seats (been compliance for it as well) has new tyres and mags all round, pretty good/expensive (id say) cd player. only thing thast is a let down is teh paint...i mean it will polish up good but teh roof will need a touch up. body is straight etc, Cost $900, the dude paied near 4000 (including new tyres/mags) about 6 moths ago and been sitting there since as it was for there son but he has since decided to get a smaller car, and now the dude has been transfered to another town for work and needed the car gone buy today....so yeh i got it pretty cheap :) ....im keeping me VS lol not getting rid of that haha but i oing to fix it up (doesnt need much) and either sell it or sell/give to me dad for a run around) or maybe even keep it as a runaround for meself and try and keep the VS in better condition for longer haha

    REVS check is a must

    anything can happen man, a couple years back i won a bid on a 93 vr commodore on ebay for my dad.

    it was a heap of **** cost like a grand but a registered runner at least, i didnt think anyone would owe money on something like that but i did a revs check on it for peace of mind.

    turns out it was encumbered i confronted the guy about it and he crapped himself apologised lots and bailed on the sale told me there was more money owing on it than the sale price.
