Car tax and dealer car prices

MrStanners

Hi,

Not changed my car for many years and forgotten what the process is, so this might seem like a dumb question.

I know that for new cars dealers give an "on the road" price but for used cars is the quoted price inclusive of the car tax? Is there a common practice or is it down to negotiation?

Thanks
Mr Stanners

Entirely down to negotiation. Remember that responsibility for the VED lies with the registered keeper/owner of the vehicle.

When I've bought 2nd hand over the last few years it has NOT been included in the price, but the dealer has taxed the car and included it in the final invoice.

For used cars everything is up for negotiation. Some may throw in tax as part of the final price, others will expect you to sort it yourself.

Thanks for the replies, you've answered my question.

Possibly things are changing with post 2017 registrations but last time I bought he said £30 on a £15K car wouldn't break the bank.
