V62???

Craggiest

Hi all
Recently purchased vehicle and been given runaround in regards to logbook
Basically second hand dealer sold car and had no v5 and said I could tax car with v62
True,you can ,however the postcode he gave me for previous owner is non existent and post office would not issue any tax
Also need tax to change plates as car was sold to me on private plates and v62 states original plates
Heinsight is a wonderful thing but at the time you think you have your wits about you but get caught up in the moment,
Anyhoo,car shows on dvla as being motd and HAS car tax on original plates??????
Confusing I know
Just wondering if anyone can advise on process that now takes place
Hope I sound clear enough for some idea
Keep beating myself up for being a bit nieve in thinking what I was told was ok:(

You keep the car off the road and apply for a logbook (V5C) in your name and when it arrives insure and tax it and your sorted. Dont forget to send payment.

Have you sent off the V62? Section F covers you. You cannot tax it until the log books in your name.

And the previous keepers tax wont be valid for you.

Dont buy a car without getting the new keepers slip.

Section f?
Vehicle is off the road
Currently taking wife to work and picking her up whilst doing my job
Bloody garage should not be selling vehicles in a way that they can dupe people into purchasing
Should be a law in selling vehicles with logbooks

Lots of dealers refuse to bid for cars without a V5 as they know it'll be a few weeks until they can sell them. Sound like you found a dealer who stitched you up, alas.

You have to put the car off road until the v5 comes through. THis can take up to six weeks.

Already covered under existing laws - a dealer should declare anything that would put off a normal buyer. As long as he told you he didn't have the v5, he's covered. If not, you could ask for your money back. But if he's the sort that lets a car go out knowing it can't be used on the road, he's likely to make it difficult to get your money back off him too.

Yep, you can.

You don't need the previous keeper's name or address.

Also need tax to change plates as car was sold to me on private plates and v62 states original plates

The V62 states whatever plate you write on it. If you've bought the car with a certain set of plates on it, that's what I'd be writing on the V62. Unless...

Anyhoo,car shows on dvla as being motd and HAS car tax on original plates??????

OK, so the plate's been transferred off, and the dealer's not waited for the replacement V5C to arrive. Lazy sod. So put that plate on the V62. Oh, and get some correct plates made, because you're driving around on the wrong ones at the moment...

So the dealer's given you a partially-filled in V62?
Here's a blank one:
