What Is The Procedure When Buying A New Car.

[kloofnek]

I am getting another car,a used one.What do I have to do regards to the log book etc.
Call me thick... but I have no idea.From what I can gather,the present owner of the car will give me the right-hand side of the log book which contains Section 10
What do I do with it?

The V5 form (log book) has a space to fill in your name and address as the 'New Keeper' the previous owner fills it in and you sign it. Then that part of the form is detached and handed to you. The previous owner sends the rest of the form off to DVLC . You keep the part you are given as proof of ownership until the new V5 arrives with your details on it. You just keep your part of the form until you get the new log book (V5) that is all you have to do, the previous owner has to send it to the DVLC.

Having the V5 means you are the keeper of the vehicle not the owner!

Make sure you get a full recept!
