My mates looking at buying a 172 and she has found one which has been "stolen and recovered"
What are the implications of buying a car that has been stolen and recovered....only think i can think of is the possibility of higher insurance.
If its nothing to drastic she could save herself a couple of grand

possible chassis damage wrecked clutch etc etc
if its a good price get it checked out with the AA or the RAC before you buy it! then at least you know if its goosed or not!

Add on about £200 if it doesnt have the key as that will be what renault charge to have the transponder coded to the immobilser.
Do stoeln cars have to have Q plates?
