Bought a new car last night, but it doesn't come with any tax.
I'm picking it up next Wednesday and get 7 days free Driveaway insurance with it and they can print me a cover note on site, but how am I supposed to get the tax with no log book and MOT certificate?

I *thought* you could do it online as long as you have the reg no (and perhaps the number off the top of the MOT form) as the systems are linked up now?

You need a reference number from the V5C, which I don't have yet, and in any case they send the tax disc to the registered keeper - currently not me. |

Ask whoever your buying the car from to tax it. The documents will be in their name.

You can do it at a Post office with the Insurance certificate, MOT & the new keeper section (section 10), of the registration document. It's valid for two months.
The new keeper section is the bit that they should give you on sale of the car (They send the rest to the DVLA)
Alternatively get the seller to tax it for you& pay them extra ?

I'm buying from the Carshop who won't tax it because they offer a "no frills" service  Basically they're too lazy to go to a Post Office and get a tax disc. In all normality I'd pick the car up and go straight to a Post Office to get it taxed, but I'm picking it up at 6pm by which time the Post Office will be shut. |

I'd ask them how the hell you are supposed to tax it then. If you have paid for it BEFORE you pick it up surely they must have given you or will give you the documents you need to tax it ? |

We'll be heading down that route as well soon, Sam. If you don't mind me asking, what was the mileage/age and how much did you end up paying? (PM fine if you don't want to post publicly.)
Thanks.
