I sold my old Skoda when it needed over £1200 spent on it. I assumed that the chap who bought was scrapping it but he told me that within 2 hours it would be in a container at Tilbury waiting to go to India.
That's just what they told BG. What actually happened, is they paid by cheque, didn't re-register the car, and used it on job.Where's the profit for them in that ? They bought the car legit, they'd have the cost of shipping and still need work done on the car. Can't imagine they're going to up the price to cover that lot unless you sold it very cheaply.

What's a dead herring?Or the whole thing is a dead herring
As above. High end motors may get sold on (stripped, lobbed into a shipping container and sent off to west Africa for example). Sometimes the perpetrators change the plates & keep them, but it's risky business as a fair few have trackers built in.
Mid range stuff frequently gets used to commit other crimes: burglaries, ram raids and so on. Or cloned. A P reg Vauxhall Corsa will probably have been nicked by some 16 year old for a laugh, and will be thrashed, smashed and dumped within a week.
Do they change the plates and use false log book, do they go abroad or to a scrap yard ?
Sisters car got nicked but log book thrown out and all the stuff in the boot was dumped.

Doesn't anyone check these west African bound shipping containers?
