Taxing a sorn car

My Ibiza should be sold this weekend and I have offered to tax it for the guy rather than having him faffing about (he's paying me for the tax btw)

I have the car on sorn as I have another car I use

How easy is it to unsorn the car and retax it

Is it just a matter of going on to the DVLA site,typing in the number off the V5 and thats it?

 

Iv always just taxed it as normal no problem at all

 

just go to the post office has normal with mot and log book and insurance and tax it no problems

 

Post office

Not used one of them for years :lol:

Why waste time queing when I can do it on me lappy

 

y ask then how to do it THEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Re-READ my post Steve

It's a question,not an answer :wink:

 

You can also now tax your car online. :wink:

 

easy enough to tax a car with it being on sorn, just go to the online site and click apply for a tax disc now. it will ask for the log book reference and there you go your sorted

 

Thanks Rob

Reason for asking is I'll only tax the car when I am sure the guy wants it.

He's coming to look at it on Saturday and if he likes it he'll be taking it with him on the day.

Didn't want any last minute hold ups

 

I'd use the old delaer trick and say you havn't had time.
That way if he pulls out of the dael you havn't taxed a car you won't use.

 

Gary - I don't see how you can tax it on line and then drive it straight away! - You need the disc to display - which will arrive 'within 14 days' or something... There is a serious offence of 'failure to display' which they will use even if the disc is on the vehicle but not able to be read clearly for some reason!

Correct me if I'm wrong... ?

When I have re taxed my car online/via phone the disc took 2 days to arrive.

It is also my understanding that as long as the vehicle is taxed there will be no action taken if not displayed. The Police hav direct links to the DVLA database so can check straight away.

The DVLA allow 14 days grace on things like this

 

The only problem with doing that is that it will be sent to the registered keeper, which will be you, you will then have to post it to him or he will have to collect it from you, Is he far away?

 

I'll correct you Mick

As long has you have applied for your tax disc on line,it is recorded by the DVLA and the police also have access to this data,it would'nt be my fault if it was delayed in the post.

Also,in repsonse to another question on here.

It makes it easier for me to tax it in my name as I curently hold all the relevant documetation.it will come to my house,but I'll just post it on to him

 

benefits of taxing at post office you get the disc in your hand there and then !!!!!!!!!!!

 

Option 1

Get in the car
Drive into town
Find a parking space
Queue at the post office
Yippe, I now have a small round piece of paper I can stick in my window.
Go back to car
Pay for parking
Go home or back to work

Option 2

Log onto DVLA website and pay for a tax disc
Open the enveope that comes through the door a few days later
Yippe,I have a small round piece of paper I can stick in my windscreen :lol:

 

I have to say i would nip to the post office and get it sorted.

It ain't that hard is it

 

Once a tax disc has been applied for online & is in the system you can legally drive around for 5 days without a valid disc and thats it.

I prefer the disc done online, I like it printed not scribbled on by some post office muppet :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

just wait till next year u will have to have your car still insured to be sorn that will hit some people hard

 

I don't think that is the case Mark...
