when selling a car to a dealer and they have done the checks it comes back as being flagged what does this mean
2007-01-14 02:42:55 · update #1
usually, a flagged car means the title has been branded as either a total loss that was repaired or a salvage vehicle that someone may or may not have repaired. if a car was flooded, the insurance company would pay the claim, take the car, and sell it to a salvage yard and flag the title so someone would know it was damaged beyond repair. another reason for a flag would be odometer discrepancies. if the mileage reported is not correct such as if the odometer doesn't work and the mileage didn't change for many years or the odometer only reads up to 100k miles and now it has over that, the dmv will flag the vehicle with a mileage not correct flag.

That means someone check flagged the vehicle as being stolen. Or when cops see a car or something and they run the plate number, or if you do a beer run on a convenience store or something and your car and plate match the description theyll flag your car. Pull you over even though you were doing anything wrong at the time(like speeding or something).
It means something different if your refering to racing though. i really dont understand what your asking in the question. Green flag means drivers may begin racing blue flag means car faster car is approaching do not interfere, yellow means slow down and hold position, Red means driver must come to safe and immediate stop, Black means pull into pits for next lap, Cross flags means you reached a half way point, white flag means only 1 lap left, checkered flag means race has been completed etc.

It simply means the car has either been an insurance write off, has finance owing on it or there is some discrepency with the mileage. MOT's now collect mileage on database so if the car shows less miles than it did 2 years ago it will show straight away.
Depending on the dealer, he may refuse to take it or adjust the price offered accordingly as he cant sell it in the normal way. He must send it to auction or into the trade.

as you give hardly any information, i opt for the most logical thing: the car is on finance (lease/hire-purchase) there are payments outstanding (that means " due Payments have NOT been paid) and now it is "flagged" to indicate that any possible Buyer of this car can be aware that there is outstanding finance on this vehicle and to take that into consideration before buying it.That is what i have normaly encountered in such a situation.

If it has been flagged by the old bill that means that they know you are a dodgy person.
Drugs, violence, shoplifter
They usuall flag for that sort of reason.

if it has been used in criminal activity, or is known to be driven by a banned driver, or is known to police for not having tax/insurance
or mot. if the previous keeper was caught drink driving. are among many other reasons.
