I am over in Belfast and due to go back to England in a couple of days. I found a wee car I want to buy, but the tax runs out tomorrow.
The owner already has the insurance transferred to their new car, so they can't insure it.
I need to get the insurance done for my home address in the UK so I can't insure it here as it is not a NI address and I need a Norn Iron address to do the tax..
Any ideas?
Could I maybe get insurance for 1 day just to get it taxed, then I can start my 'real' insurance from tomorrow?
Do I need to show Photographic ID, so it proves a NI address?
I would really like to buy this wee car- just have this problem. Need answers this morning.

Drive it without tax. Back tax it to the date you starting using it when you get to England
You get at least 7 days grace to retax the car0 -
I don't think you do!!! If you can post a DVLNI link that says that, then I would do it, but otherwise I will poass thanks.
I would just be driving it 2 days untaxed by the time I get it back to the mainland, but it's illegal. Wouldn't do that!Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

Have you any friends in NI who could let you use their address to tax it here and then when you get back to England inform the DVLA that you have changed your address.0

I can tax it from my sister's address where I'm staying. Just trying to find temp insurance at the mo. Some companies want the driver to be registered at the NI address. Will keep trying!Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

Could you insure it as you would usually by calling the insurance company or over the internet, then apply for the tax disc online? You won't have the disc to display, but you would have at least paid and have a good explanation???
(Not sure if this is ok, so happy to be shot down if someone knows better!)0 -
Now, there's an idea!!!Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

Okay. No go. Can't tax online in NI. Just by phone or in tax office.
Back to the drawing board.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
