Hi fellows, looking for advise.I paid deposit for a car after inspection to pick up this week in VIC. Seller arranged roadworthy and everything went well. However, today that car got hit by another car from behind (boot and bumper damaged). I was suppose to pick car tomorrow but now seller has arranged insurance to get repair done. Considering the damage and holidays coming, i don't think it will get repair in a week but probably 3-4 weeks.
The seller is going overseas for good on 26 Dec.
If I transfer the car on my name before repairs are completed, is there any risk of insurance claim going toward myself instead of earlier owner????
The seller is stuck as well as he cannot sell the car to anyone else because he has to fly out too. So i am thinking not to leave him hanging, and help him considering he is in tough spot if there is no risk to get vehicle transferred during the repair already lodged.
Suggestions?
vehicle is honda city 2011. low KM. Single owner. $8500 agreed before it got hit. Damage is bumper and boot.
