you have to have an insurance cover note, so you'd have to wait a few days until you've changed your car over on insurance and for it to come through the post.

If its not taxed then has he declared it sorn? If so you can't drive it. If not you need to tax it before a fine is sent through...

or ofcourse you could get him to deliver it

Takes the risk off you then...

I wouldn't even bother buying a car without tax

Surely the seller could spend £60 taxing it FFS.

Don't knowhow you did this, as my post office won't allow copies.

Neither do DVLA offices.

If the police would've ran a check you would've been busted tho, even more so for copying a tax disc

As long as its got a decent MOT on it thats all that matters, the seller can take the TAX price off

But either way someone has got to pay the tax. You or the seller.
It makes more sense to me for him to just charge me the £60 for the flamin tax then I don't have to drive around illegally.
