selling car - plate on retention ?
Hi guys just sold my car tonight and buyer is going to collect with cash at the weekend. the car has my private plate on just now and the buyer knew I would be removing the plate upon this sale. so okay have no new car to put the plate onto just now so want to put the plate onto retention which I now believe is £80 for ten years ? was advised that I can now start the process online ? so okay do I simply get the plate swap procedure underway asap and come the weekend give the new owner the current mot and v5 certificate and then the new mot and v5 will automatically be sent to him thru time once he has sent the v5 certificate off ? totally confused if someone could explain the process to me ??!!

Whether the purchaser is happy to wait for you to post the new V5 on is upto them. Trust and all that.
Insurance needs to be informed if you want to drive the car after registration change.

Thanks for the info on the plate swap mate, done it online today so easy apart from parting with the £80 for the pleasure off doing so !!
so the new owner can take away the car and mot certificate and when the new v5c arrives here with me I wil have to send it to him where he will then send it away with his new address or do I enter the new owners details and send off the new v5c ?
lastly, how / when do I get a refund for the road tax ?
