Looks like my car dealer will be going to prison then - my current pre-reg was 2 weeks old when registered to me   But that was a genuine pre reg not a dodgy dealer making numbers up - across the country they had about 100 various specs of the same model.  The previous one was 7 weeks old but it had been on sale for about a month before I bought it.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1994/22/section/43C

I don't believe that law really applies to a dodgy pre-reg. DTD is scaremongering why you should buy a new car from them rather than a pre reg from someone else. It is more about not registering a vehicle or falsely registering to avoid being traced - I am sure the dealership would pass on details pretty quickly in the same way as Motability or any lease co would.  It would be interesting though if involved in an accident as the insurer would likely walk away and void the policy.

Pre reg = no less than 25% off list price or walk away - my last 2 were around 31-34% off list.

Thank you. As I said previously, read my posts, this dealer has been up and going for 20 years poss plus that and has good reivews. As i said before, if the link contains info that is wrong, I'm sure other dealers that specilze in pre reg cars would pull them up. for that reason it is my sincere beleife that the information is genuine and accurate.

If you believe it to be correct then show one example of somebody being prosecuted for it. Just one that's all it needs. 

Why should I, it was not me that put that message up years ago and still ongoing and legal site that sells millions of pounds worth of cars.  

Bottom line, several posters called me many nasty names here and I backed up my post with what I thought was right and the evidence is in the link to a well known site amongst those that buy, sell cars - now if you think the site is a fraud/lie, take it up with them as I won't as in my judgment it is true as it is a respected broker according to net reviews and that is good enough for me.

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.

Does not state what you think it states, how can one poster be wrong so many times

May I strongly suggest you look up what Abraham Lincoln said about quotes on the internet.

May I very strongly recommed you contact DrivetheDeal as I am in agreement with that they have stated and happy to go along with that ie the info they pust there as being 100% aaccurate.
Perhaps they will put you and the others straight.

Sweetsand I think you should step away from the motoring forum, I noticed you either had posts deleted yesterday or you deleted them yourself when you were clearly wrong...which was it?

And so many of your posts are reported...why do you think that is

No-one has questioned the caliber of the dealer / middle-man that you provided the link to, nor has anyone queried the accuracy of the link.  The link clearly states that to buy a car that is not notified to DVLA as yours when purchased is illegal.  The link does not state that buying a car that has been registered to a dealer and then sold very quickly is illegal.

Why can't you understand this very simple fact and acknowledge your error in understanding with thanks to the people that have highlighted it?

There is nothing wrong with drive the deals article ... However it does not say what you claim it says

The problem is that your comprehension seems to be as accurate as your typing.

Thank you
