Car Forum / UK Car Forums / General Car Topics (UK group) / August 2004Insuring new car
Dealer reckons he needs me to fix up some insurance before he will register my new car next week. I thought dealers could do that sort of thing without insurance. Probably needs it's to get the TAX?

That's odd, 'cos second hand dealers don't need to have details of the new owner's insurance to get tax, as long as it is covered, usually by thier own trade policy. Does the same not apply to new cars? I don't really see how this is a problem, tho. > <will@reeve.org.uk> slurred : > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > I don't really see how this is a problem, tho. Actually, that's odd, because I've never bought an un-taxed second-hand car from a dealer when I haven't been required to produce a cover note or insurance certificate for the dealer to tax the car.  SignatureJim Macura. "There are 10 types of IT people. Those who understand binary and those who don't." I seem to remember having to supply a insurance certificate on both a new and an old card bought from a main dealer. I think it depends if there is tax still left / and or the car is registered to the dealer? Not sure!

I have. My current car, I bought from a dealer and the dealer put a years tax on prior to me picking it up. >> That's odd, 'cos second hand dealers don't need to have details of >> the new owner's insurance to get tax, as long as it is covered, [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > second-hand car from a dealer when I haven't been required to produce > a cover note or insurance certificate for the dealer to tax the car. I have. Every single time I have bought a second-hand car from a dealer, I have got them to tax it, and have never had to supply any documentation to allow them to do it. Tax is completely tranferable, and as long as it's covered by the dealers trade insurance, the legal requirements are met and they can tax it. The law is a funny thing. For some reason we need to check that people have insurance for cars we deliver! The Post Office & DVLA have a similar policy! Most people organise their own insurance although your dealer will be able to do it for you. SignatureAlan Steele Steeles of Worthing www.steeles.co.uk |
