Supposed to be having a new car today

Was due to pick up a new car today. The one I have bought has a private reg on it. I’ve waited 10 days for the dvla to put this reg on retention. Had a phone call from the dealer this morning to say the paper work had been rejected because of an error on it :mad: Now I have to wait another 10 days :cry:

Feel like telling them to stick it :eek:

Bad luck Deaky. It’ll be worth the wait to drive around with your own plate :). Not worth going for a starndard, then transferring because of the fees and insurance admin costs.

3

The reg is on the new car. The seller of the car wants to keep the reg. Thats what is holding things up

4

inevitable question… what car, your old one wasn’t too shabby :nod:

5

:Pimp:

6

ohh… nice :cool:

7

isn’t a private plate on that a little pretentious? the car says you can afford it. the private plate may be a bit too much?

(just my 2p)

8

You mean to tell me that you can’t just go to a dealer, sign the loan papers and drive off in your new (or used) car?

Please excuse my ignorance :slight_smile:

AFAIK as well curufin here you can (mind I’ve only ever bough one car and that was second hand so a quick signing of a change of ownership forms, change of money and it was mine. Cant remember if I drove home uninsured mind.)

I think Deaky’s problem here is the current car has a personalised number plate and the current owner wants to move the plate onto his new car. :shrug:

:hail:

Nice motor but you can’t get 6 DAF YA-328 tyres in the back of that.

I can only just get the kids in the back :uhh:

Looks like delivery this Friday if dvla sort themselves out :xfinger:

Are you getting excited now? I know i would be!

14

Still doing a good job of not thinking about it m8. I’m expecting some dick from dvla to balls up the paper work again. If this does happen I won’t be too dissapointed. We’ll se what tomorrow brings :xfinger:

15

to be fair to DVLA, they downsized a couple of years ago and got rid of older staff through early retirement. everything is now scripted and computer-driven with kids earning £11k, so any unusual circumstances hit a brick wall.

16

Just had a call from the dealer. He has spoken to dvla who have confimed that the neccessary paperwork will be ready for collection tomorrow :slight_smile:

Guess I’ll be up early then :nanasplit: :driving:

You see that’s the problem with taking it easy :Poke:

Now if he had been more hasty and planted the gas peddle to the floor that truck would never have got close enough to hit it in the 1st place :wink: :chuckle:

:Poke: :wink:

Enjoy the motor Deaky (Not to my taste) but looks a cracker non the less.
