Problem with px'd car from a dealer - Not registered

[AceOfHearts]

I need some advice on my new car

2 months ago I px'd my car against a Subaru Legacy import (swap with £300 my way) The dealer had the V5 with him and service history which i filled out for him to send off.

In those 2 months I have spent roughly £600 getting the car up to a standard i am happy with, and today i just got this letter through:



What do I do now? How do I bring this back up with the dealer, as obviously the car was blatently mis-sold and i will be even more out of pocket jumping through the DVLA hoops. I also don't understand how it was declared exported when it currently has tax and MOT still?

This is such an annoying set back as i love the car, but this is going to be such a PITA to sort out.

As permenant export (which is what the letter says although you say it was originally a grey import) is that suggesting it was sold to the Polish export type clan that turn up with transporters and disappear abroad with stloads of cars?

Maybe the last V5 was incorrectly filled in and the permanent export bit filled in by error?

Anyway I'd go back to the dealer and suggest they sort out the issues of getting it registered and so on. If they are a decent set up you should have no issues.
