nice to see you are putting it in trade lots of traders bluff their way at the door of people and skank the whole log books away causing untold headaches for the selling owners

I’ve done this on loads of cars. I don’t understand why it would be a problem. Its taxed, it’s insured, it has mot. And most of the time it has oil in the engine

Good luck You can fill it in as a sole trader I would says long as you have a trade policy your ok get yourself a rubber stamp and stamp name address part and sign the yellow slip there's lot of people involved in the trade that are not a Ltd company as well as part time traders etc

Had mine taxed & in trade for the last 15 months

For 9 pence each

Haha thanks Casper. I hope so too!

Jason, what do you think I did? who needs money anyway? Gamble it away and kick yourself later. Called VW they said the mileage is all ok, and by the sounds of it it has good history but I have to go into the dealer to get it. No one else wanted it, only 1 Irish bidder on it. Worried sick, but at the price I got it, I can easily offload it and get my money back. If it's all good and straight, I'm quids in. This is what I'm hoping, tradex. I'll know 10am Monday. If not, the sea is a stone's throw away, I'll at least have had an expensive day out haha.

Didn't work for us , waste of money as far as I'm concerned

well half of the title is right ive got a customer approaching from 100 miles away and im unable to tax their car due to dvla maintenance only these people and tsb bank would crash their systems on a friday morning

That's correct. You can be stopped for having 'no current keeper' and that is enough for them to go through your details and the car? The cops know that 'scumbags' and 'gangsters' tend to "forget" to register cars in their name for obvious reasons?

Just done two by phone, no issues

so to summarise it might have a mileage anomaly its a million miles away its obviously cheap and nobody else wants it its had a plate change and showing low mileage so probably hiding a vcar tag too nothing to lose then get it bought

me too also goods in transit for business use (no pizza deliveries mind) a few years ago i looked into using i think it was road+++ trade insurance as my premium had nearly doubled,i nearly signed up till i went online to see the small print no personal cars no sdp no goods carrying in relation to your business it might have changed now or it might not have

That's definitely the case if the OP is Limited. Amazing how many 'Limited' dealers don't know this or maybe they just totally ignore it.

Not sure but I would have thought that taxing it on the V5C/2 i.e a new keeper will log it at the DVLA as having a new owner on the date the tax was issued...they'd then just be awaiting the new owners details to be sent/input .........so suspect its definitely bending the rules, bet if you rang the DVLA they'd tell you that you need to put it in your name.... Sort of thing that isn't a problem until you have a bump or get a tug from the plod.........

how can it be taxed and in trade its an oxymoron and sounds a recipe for disaster i would never do it,i had the warning letter from dvla last year regarding this practise and to be honest i value my trade plates too much to lose them if i got done for a criminal tax prosecution

As a small home trader, I use one of my stock cars to avoid the cost of running my own. I just put the cars in trade on the V5, and use the regular details off the V5 to tax it. Never had a problem doing this

pay what you want dont pay what you dont want...........however price rises by auctioneer is not the issue, its happened like FOREVER

It is. If there is a reserve price they can't push you up to achieve this. However they can sell lower than the reserve price.
