How does the manufacturer have the owner's email after something like a private resale? Would they just send the consent request to the original purchaser?

- rad_gruchalski 6y agoDepends how you purchase the second hand vehicle. If the first owner did a trade in, it’s all easy to manage. If it’s a direct sale, I guess it’s worth asking the first owner for the connectivity status. Even so, I believe a visit at a dealer with registration document would get that resolved pretty fast.
