Facebook car sales..... Is there something I'm missing, V5's

[southside]

Bit of an odd one but it's been bugging me for a while, just wondering if anyone else had noticed....

I, like many, join a lot of car sales Facebook groups but has anyone else noticed a good 90% of the cars for sale on them always say "no v5" , "v5 lost in house move but full receipt given" or "green slip only"

Ok fair enough the odd one or two people might lose them but I'm talking the majority here. Is there some kind of scam going on that I don't know about?

There are enough sites out there to be able to check the history of a car for as little as £3.

If it sounds too good to be true......it is!

Yea I wasn't buying any of them it's just something I'd noticed.

can't you change ownership online yet?

There is no registered owner only a keeper.
Financial Interest can be added online.
Personally I think the system should be changed to make it more obvious who owns the car.
