I just bought my missus an 02 206cc (I think :/ ) as she has always wanted one - as her other car was written off in a recent hail storm. I live in Perth, car was purchased in Sydney and shipped over.

She loves the car to bits but Im about to break some news to her.

ISSUES:
The car does not have the log books, user manuals, spare keys and service history information – which was said to be in the glove box. These belong with the car, I thought.
The car appears to have been in an accident or worse. I did ask if it had been in an accident and I was told no.
The car has 2 different VIN numbers and 2 different date of manufacture stamps. Plus the VIN tag has been removed from the dash. This is ILLEGAL. The NSW RTA registration papers for the car is for a different VIN# (but correct engine #.) I will have to contact the RTA NSW on this issue.

I bought the car through CarSales.com.au at a reasonable price but how can I re-register it over here with these VIN discrepancies ?

Dodgy seller or rebirth or crappy NSW RTA for failing to pick this up ?
