TangoVictor32 90 Posted August 24, 2019 Before you all have a go at me and say "I told you so".... Yes I do know BCA have some good points... Anyways bought a car with no v5 and no service history about 2 weeks ago (originally came with a blank service book) and today received a present from BCA in the post... Service book with lots of stamps in it all the way upto 120k! They hadn't called me or anything it just got delivered. Edit: Edit again: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blenheim Car Sales 111 Posted August 24, 2019 yes happened to me a few times and arrived late in the post, it is nice given the thousands of cars they sell in a week they still have the thought of sending on these items if they arrive, Car was obviously sold with no docks so they were within there wrights to just dispose of the items you received Nice one BCA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JA Trader 58 Posted September 3, 2019 Interestingly enough i have just received a call from BCA saying they are posting me a log book for a car that was delivered last week. The interesting part that car came with a logbook so i am intrigued to see what arrives ...... 1 owner since new car so doubt its a duplicate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bought a 1 owner ex lex car from bca a few months back, Sold it last week, tried to fill new keeper details in online but dvla won’t except it as they are saying it isn’t the most recent issued V5.

It's me 612 Posted September 4, 2019 dont panic remember an even newer log book came out a few months back go back to customer explain situation ask them if they are willing for you to tax it and possibly pay the £25 fee at a local tax post office to get them on the road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am hoping it is this. The car is a cheap banger for me to run round in for 12 months all going well i want out of it in 12 months for essentially costing me nothing. I cant tax the car online with the old green slip so hoping a new one will be more useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattR 177 Posted September 5, 2019 Heres a good old fashioned idea - fill the reg doc in with a pen and post it to DVLA! I Still do this with all my sales (send a bundle of docs every couple of weeks), never an issue, even an old blue doc. I think its as quick as filling it in online and means I get a walk off site for 5 minutes with a justified reason. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
