A quick tax/sorn question for you smarter than me folk

[leigh_harty]

Ive sold my BMW on ebay and the guy said he'll come pick up on sunday 27th but the tax is up this month so 3 days later basically.

Do I:

1) Sorn it now to cover my back and let him know he needs another to transport it home other than driving

or 2) Sign the logbook and send it on the 28th because its out of my hands so not my problem?

Dont want to be landed with a fine seeing as though my new VR needs taxing this month too

Sign and date the log book for before the end of the month. Do it already, rather than back date it infront of him. If he asks why that date is there, just say you did it when you knew you sold the car.

The DVLA do not have to receive the log book yet, so don't send it until you have the money.

They won't send out any fines right away and even if they did, you'd have a chance to inform the 'fine department' or whoever, of the change of ownership, pending the log book going through their system.

And then the fella just taxes it on the following 2 days after?.. or rings up and sorns it himself. Depending what he wants to do

Nice one dude just what i needed to know

No probs mate. He can do what he wants with it, tax it himself with the green slip and an insurance cover note when he gets it.

Personally if you're still insured I'd just ask the buyer if he'd like you to tax it for him. If not like Ant said fines won't happen straight away and he can tax it online as long as it's insured somewhere anyway.

Insurance got switched over to the vr straaaaaaight away 

Cheers guys, Leigh
