Help, I'm confused.

I've got someone coming to have a look at my VW this evening, and he is 99% sure he wants it and if he does he#d want to take it away with him this evening, but it still ahs my private plates on, as I haven't had chance to swap them over to my new car? so if i sign the car over to him (v5 etc) How do I go about getting my number paltes abck?

Cheers

if you do that you are putting faith in him letting you have the plate back, something I wouldnt do and something Im sure someone on here got done over with

you would have been better taking it off before advertising, Im not sure how long it takes to transfer them if he is willing to leave a deposit

There is a way of doing it iirc. I would have removed them first though. Much less hassle

The plates are lost with the car, if you want to keep the plate, don't sell the car.

The way is that you trust the guy you've never met, don't be daft.

its lazyness then, if you loose them then its your own fault. Your car has been for sale for ages well youve wanted to swap for everything under the sun. It takes all of 30mins to fill in the forms and send them off.

I had to do this with my plate when i sold my Ibiza, it is a big risk but the guy seemed very genuine about doing it! He also had to trust me with it because i had to keep the complete V5 to take into the DVLA to swap it back over. Sean-B i think had to do it and nearly lost his plate on his Corsa as well!

There have been loads of people either been very close to losing them or actually lost them. No idea why you would leave it to chance.

Thing i found when doing it was i couldn't really lose out? When i sold my Ibiza, he went off with a car, yet I had £1400 cash, the V5 and my form to swap the plate over to my Corsa. I could have easily told the police my car was stolen and come out of it £1400 richer (with a big risk of being arrested myself ) But that does prove there has to be plenty of trust going both ways!

You've technically broken the law not supplying the V5 thought, so not ideal either way. Very trusting by him, that.

well he might have a receipt?
also on New V5C, it states that the holder of the document not necessarily is the owner - just who is responsible for taxing the vehicle

can take up to 4 weeks to transfer plates, but it pretty much gets done in 10 working days
