Q: if there are outstanding toll charges on a vehicle i want to purchase who is responsable for the toll charges if i buy?

A: I would not go anywhere near that car. If you are determined to buy it, then do not pay any money until you have seen proof that the tolls and fines are fully paid.

A: The responsibility for outstanding toll charges on a vehicle typically falls on the current owner of the vehicle at the time the tolls were incurred. However, if the outstanding toll charges were not paid by the previous owner and are attached to the vehicle's registration, the new owner may become responsible for paying them.

If you are considering purchasing a vehicle with outstanding toll charges, it is important to factor in the cost of those tolls into your decision-making process. You should ask the seller to provide you with a detailed record of any outstanding toll charges, and to pay them off before you purchase the vehicle.

If the seller is unable or unwilling to pay off the toll charges, you may need to negotiate a lower purchase price or agree to pay the tolls yourself as a condition of the sale. It's important to have a clear understanding of any outstanding toll charges before you finalize the purchase, as they could impact the vehicle's registration or transfer of ownership.

Once you become the new owner of the vehicle, any outstanding toll charges attached to the registration will remain your responsibility until they are paid off. You can contact the relevant toll authorities to pay off the charges or dispute any errors or discrepancies.
