how long does it take for them to contact you and take a car???

As many will already know my car is not exempt. ive spoke to my dad and he will only bid up to £80 as the car needs work doing to it

so a few questions

how long does it take for them to contact me about putting in a bid?

if they dont take the bid how long does it take to collect the car??

if they do take the bid and i want to sell it do i have a set time that it cannot be sold for???

if they do not take the bid and my dad buys me a car do i have to notify the OR that i now have a car

im debating whever to just let them take it and just start looking about for a car now

sorry for all the questions

    They're usually very quick because at the moment they are liable for the car and any accidents you may have. If you take out a bus stop with it the OR will have to pay! So they usually do it within a week or 2.

    The OR accepted my offer of £20 for my old mondeo even though they said £50 so haggle : ) After all that my engine blew up a couple of weeks later, just my luck!
  • thanks caroline

    how long did they take to contact you? how much was your car worth? as mine on the parkers guide is £300-£400 but theres alot that needs doing to it but considering doing a low bid as it still runs ok so it will do till i get something else.
