  1. Hey guys,

    Not BMW related post unfortunately, but recently bought a car through Turners that was repossessed by a finance company and sold as is. Car has a few issues like noisey diff, oil light and airbag light which i had budgeted repairs into.

    However, while vacuuming the car tonight i found a booklet for Autosure Extreme cover mechanical insurance valid until 2017. It's still in the previous owners name it says in the booklet he needs to sign something to change name and i'm unsure how he would feel about having a phone call from me after having his car repossessed.

    Interested to know if anyone has any experiance with these guys? Would it be possible to claim for my diff etc under the prev owners name? Or transfer it without contacting him?

    Any advice appreciated

    I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure making a claim under somebody else's name without their knowledge would fall into the "against the law" category.

    I also think that whilst Autosure has been great to deal with (for me) if there is any reason for them to not have to pay out i.e. change of ownership hasn't been completed I doubt they'd side with you

    Best course of action. Give the fellow a call (even though he probably wouldn't be too impressed) and offer him $100 and a box of brews to change the name over to you. If he got a car repo-ed he'd probably (stab in the dark) be keen on some cash his way.
