Build Date Confirmed!!

I've no diffs about not being the first in the reg book - the basis of a pre-reg deal after all.

But (and without being an anorak about it) I'm a lawyer - road traffic law is major yawn - but the dealer is having a solo run on this.

V5 must be transferred on, well, transfer....

So are you looking at it sitting at the dealers for 3 months before you can legally take ownership?  That will be a killer!!

[battleshipgray]

What would you suggest? I'm a little pissed off...

[battleshipgray]

Depending on the chat with the partner it could be a case of stick it up your...

And then, revenge!!!!

Salesman didn't get off to a good start.

Began by saying he'd be happy to register it to me as 1st owner, but the numbers (price) would need to change. I'm getting a reasonable (but not brilliant) discount as a it's going to be a pre-reg, but if I'd walked in and asked for a brand new car I'd have haggled for a comparable proportionate discount, so he can stick that argument up his a*s.

Sorry, just a little frayed after having seen the bloody car in the metal, and then they lob in these new issues.

I can well understand your frustration.  Bloody dealers!!!  What goes on in their heads?!  (Or rather doesn't!).

Can you not bring pressure to bear on them to register you as the first owner, and honour the original price, as they have not previously made you aware of this requirement, despite having plenty of time to do so, and have led you to believe (if that is the case), that you could take delivery of the vehicle shortly after arrival at the dealership.

What is the partner likely to say?  And what form would revenge take??

Where would that affect you getting insurance.  Would you be able to get insurance if you are not the registered owner for the first 3 months?

Would that not be the same as a lease car? I would imagine it would be the leasing company's name on the V5 could be wrong though. I certainly know when I had a car through my work scheme I never even seen a V5 never mind knew what name was on it. But I did by a car that had been previously leased as it had the lease company name on it.

I gave my wife my Audi A1 when I changed to the Golf. I certainly wasn't changing the V5 ownership and adding another owner so its still in my name. Loads of company's still insure if your name isn't on the document but an awful lot won't touch it.

You don't have to be the legal owner though to drive on the road.
Surely its their administration that has fecked up. Its on their side that BSG can't have the car for 3 months. So could they not give it to him just now for an extended test drive for 3 months?

I think you could well be right.  I thought the same about that being the case with leasing but as I've never leased a car, wasn't sure and didn't want to post inaccurate info up.  I know you don't have to be the legal owner though.  BSG is a laywer so if anyone can seek out the fine detail, it's him.    Not that he should have to though, as I agree, it's the dealer's error and they should be doing whatever is necessary to sort it out so BSG can drive the car away this Friday.
