RE: UKNM: Buying cars on the Net

[Leslie Bunder]

A few months back I tried one of them ( OneSwoop.com) which needed

registration, so I started to register and got to a question where they

asked for nationality. I was somewhat staggered that in all my 23 years of

living in the UK and buying things off-line for 23 of those and online for

the past four that they wanted to know your nationality.  If I go into a car

showroom to make an enquiry about a car, they don't ask me which of 150

countries am I from, so don't understand why they should need to know this

when it comes to buying a car online. What has nationality got to do with

buying a car? If it is so important to them, why don't they ask for which

country are you a resident in?  But nationality???


Next they'll be asking for your blood type :)
