Or just transfer your car to his name?

Either option will work but transferring the new car means anothere registered keeper.

true to this and i doubt i would pass the credit check for the finance....

i wasnt sure if my dad would have to have been the registered keeper of mine for x amount of months to prevent him buying a scrapper for £50.00 (which is effectively what he is doing) and getting £3k for it as trade in?

Yeh think you have to have been registered keeper for x amount of time.

What car is he getting? There are lots of heavily discounted new cars out there, so you could probably get £3000 off the list price of a new one without having to px anything.

Go onto http://www.drivethedeal.com/ and see what you can get the car he's after for.

Remember the keeper is not the owner. Just make an invoice

I thought your car was currently not roadworthy?

we get this quite a lot where i work, all you need to do is write and sign a letter stating that you are the owner of the vehicle and that you give your father permission to trade it in  :smiley:
