Ado!!

When you buy a new car, how long does it take to register the car from one name to another.

My dad bought a car for me in his name but im thinking of putting it in mine? what will i do and is it a long process?c

Usually takes a few weeks to receive the new v5 after a change of keeper

iv paid the deposit at the garage, giving my dads name and address but thats it? will he actually register the car when the money is paid because im assuming he will need more details than name and address?

So is it a brand new car? Most dealers don't register the car until the day it's leaving the showroom

no no second hand! lol my dad would never buy me a new car!

its a second hand dealer, paid deposit took my dads name and address, i still need to pay the rest

Chance is they won't fill out the V5 until you pay in full

thanks mate been a great help!!!!

oh another question if you dont mind =]

when i get insured im putting the insurance on my name, but owning the actual car wont make a differnce on the insurance will it?

Most insurance companies will insist the person taking out the policy/main driver is the registered keeper of the vehicle
