Buying a car with a private plate on,quick question...
Discussion
Buying a car in an hour and the guy says its on a private plate.He's wondering if when he sends away the v5 he can put 'my' name on the v5 then just send it to dvla?Or does he have to send it to DVLA in his name,then when the plates changed over send it away again when he gets it backin my name?Need an answer sort of quick,cheers!
he should have taken the plate off before the car was advertised.
If he sells you the car with the plate on, the plate becomes yours. He may choose to trust you and you can agree to get the plate put on a certificate in his name.
I've done this before and it worked, but its not the right way. Legally he wont have a claim on the plate if he sells it on the car.
Can he trust you is the question...?

Yeah, as above. He should have taken it off before advertising it.
You will either have to wait before picking the car up, can take a 2-3 weeks. Otherwise you can buy it with the plate on, but it does become yours, so he has to trust you to send the paperwork off and have it transferred back.

Never trust a goblin.If he sells you the car with the plate on, the plate becomes yours. He may choose to trust you and you can agree to get the plate put on a certificate in his name.

on your identical other thread I said:
It is no problem, on the new V317 you can do a registered keeper change, and retain the reg in a different name.
You fill in your details as the new keeper on the logbook, and you go down on the V317 as the registered keeper. The grantee of the retention is put down as the seller (second page of the V317) and you send the docs (V317, cheque for £105 and MOT) off to your local DVLA office.
DVLA gets the paperwork, transfers the car into your name as R/K, retains the reg in the sellers name, then sends you the replacement tax disk and MOT to you the buyer.
I do several of these a week, no problems.
