That link is about manufacturer policies for pre registration card, not the law.  The legal advice is about having the car registered to the buyer straight away.

I cannot advise the OP, as it is their decision to a large part.  One thing to be aware of is whether the car will be 69 or 70 reg.

You are the third person that is wrong or the link is wrong. The link clearly states it is a 'criminal offence.' So is the link fake, wrong or what??

If it's a criminal offence there will be an act of parliament making it so. Can you show the legislation that makes it a crime please?

Clearly states in the link that it is and that is good enough for me. If you are not happy with that, that is your perogative.

So you can't show the legislation then? 

So you are saying the link is not real?

I'm not saying that at all I'm saying I would like to verify things for myself by reading the primary legislation. When stating something is a crime then accuracy is important as people may inadvertently break the law. I want to know what I can, and can't, do so need the legislation to check for myself.

Its also possible the article is complete bunkum.

Does that mean that the information it shows is correct?

Indeed. Is this also correct? A WW2 bomber found on the moon https://www.workshopshed.com/2018/04/world-war-ii-bomber-found-on-moon/

Of course it's correct. It's on the internet so it must be true.

The link is not wrong, in fact what it states is 100% correct.
It is your understanding of what it states that is wrong:

If your car is not registered to you at the time you collect it, you will be committing a criminal offence

What happens to that car regarding it's registration before you collect it is a different matter and if a dealership wishes to register that vehicle to themselves before putting it up for sale, this is perfectly legal and if you think otherwise, you should be able to use the following link to show the legislation that makes it illegal:
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/

Yet again (ref. bold underline bit). The rest of us are in agreement and can see the distinction, you can't. So who do you think is wrong?

The drive the deal case covers the situation where dealers were buying vehicles, selling them immediately as brand new, but not registering them to the new keeper for 3 months.

This could be an offence under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act as change of keeper should be registered immediately the vehicle is sold.

You could be right what you say about the "article" but its been up for many years and these people sell a lot of brand new cars - therefore I will take it for real unless there is eveidence to the contarary.

When in a hole, the advice is to stop digging. 🙄 (Unless your goal is to reach Australia). The evidence has already been provided.
