Re- the v5 and plate change, I thought you could change the plate and sell the car within minutes on line now days? I sure I did with my last one..
Change the plate in seconds. Change the owner in seconds but have to wait for v5 to give the 11 digit number to new owner so they can tax it. The numbers always change so the old one will not work. Not sure how much they change but they do.

Your right there Gazcw. It’s a ball ache as well. DVLA are taking weeks, or where taking weeks, to send out new V5s for plate changes. When I unexpectedly sold my BMW 650 the guy obviously wanted the car straight away. So we came to an agreement where I sold the car with the plate, paid him the £80 transfer fee and he sorted the plate out and reasigned it to me. It was the only way to get it done and let him have the car. Obviously a level of trust has to be involved.

Not my recent experience of the dvla when buying the GT a couple of weeks ago. Registered a change of ownership and taxed the car on a Monday, received the V5 on Thursday. Then did a change of plate the same day (Thursday) and received the V5 on a Tuesday. All very quick I thought.

Yes. Unfortunately I have already made the change so have to wait for V5. They have been pretty quick in the last 3 cars purchased since December so no complaints from me.
