Title: car tax advice Post by: juddie on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 15:29:48 Feel a bit of a dumdum asking this, but I'm picking up a car tomorrow that needs taxing. Whenever I've renewed car tax before I've had the form from the DVLA, but I won;t have that this time - so do I just go to a post office with a V5 and MOT form?
thanks Title: car tax advice Post by: genf_stfc on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 15:31:36 you also need insurance, or a cover note - if you buy car from a dealer you can usually get them to sort it out for you.

I bought a Leon in the end, part exchanged with my megane for 4k and 12 months warranty. It's five years old and done 30,000. good for the mileage I do.

So they said just take log book, MOT and insurance....I think if you're giving them money then they're generally happy.....you can also do it on line, but must wait up to 5 days for a disc.

Good choice Juddie, I've got an Ibiza - very low mileage too, runs like a dream - VW basics but not paying the badge premium.
