My tracker has only just moved to 'arrived in the uk' this morning so i guess i'm looking at a couple of weeks from now before it's ready for me to collect. Getting a bit giddy now to be honest and a nice way to start 2014  :smug:

Lol  :grin: well they will probably leave it at the dock until they get the DVLA paperwork come though, pointless taking up space at the dealership etc.
I sent my paper work to the DVLA, also waiting....  :rolleyes:

You may have a point there. In fact I'm gonna get in touch now and let them know I'm cool to do the transfer after collection. Thanks 2014GTi :cool:

Yes, have a word with them and see if they can do the transfer after collecting, if your part exchanging a car then this might provide difficult.

So in future folks, if you have a private plate on your car, have it removed a month in advance and ensure you have the retention certificate to hand.
During busy periods like March / Sept 1st or Xmas DVLA can take ages dealing with registration requests.. the best advice would be to have your car bought on the original plate and then sort out your own private plate afterwards.
The plus side is that you have the original set of plates to put back on when you come to sell it  :wink:

Back onto private plate transfers, and sorry not on thread topic: My current car Reg doc with original number plate has arrived in the post… Bearing in mind the new car has been in the UK for nearly 2 weeks now waiting to be transported to the dealer, so looking at a week till collection?… Do I just keep the private plate on current car till trading in? Or do I legally need to swap it now? I'd need to get new plates made though (Hassle!).

Right, this is what I would do.

1. put old plates on current car and inform insurance of registration plate change
2. agree to collect GTi without transfering the private plate onto it, this will allow you to collect sooner
3. when the private plate certificate comes through put the place on your GTi

Simples!  :smiley:
