The V5 is not proof of ownership. I could send away a v62 for your car knowing you were on a months cruse around the world or somthing, nick it and hide it. Receive the V5 and the sell it... who owns the car????Woodybeefcake wrote:And finally, with regards to buying a car without a V5, I have done this in the past. I had a Mk3 VW Golf cabriolet which I agree'd to straight swap with a forum member from Vzi for a 1972 VW Beetle. As I live in Liverpool and he lived in Reading we agree'd to meet in Solihull to do the deal. When he turned up he had part of the V5. The wrong part. I'm unsure how he got it but he only had the two parts that were worthles, the dealers slip and another part. He didn't have the front part nor the part that I would fill in and keep until the new one arrived.
I filled a form in, sent it to the DVLA with a fee and recieved a new one in my name 6 weeks later. The previous owners details were of someone else, not the guy I bought it from. I have no doubt he was legit but he clearly never had a copy in his name.
Not something I would go about doing it again, if it had have been proved stolen I'd have lost £1300. BUT you can do it, it isn't the end of the world if the car doesn't have one!

I travelled to York last year to buy an E21. When i got there, the owner did not have the V5 (Did not tell me before i left) I took the coach back and went through small claims court to get my deposit back. I wasnt prepared to take another day off work, spend more money on train fares to pick up the car. I got the deposit back and all my £268 costs + my £200 deposit
I'm sorry, but No V5 then no sale and no deposit. Simple.

if this went to small claims, his threats and manor of purchasing a car he hadn't seen and deception in vin numbers without looking at a v5 would be thrown out of court by a pre court assessor, due to the fact he's a confirmed liar, and if i was defending you id summon him for wasting the police and courts time if he submitted a claim and charge him the assessors costs.
That all said i am assuming you are being honest, the vin numbers arn't tampered with and you have not "miss sold" the vehicle with a incorrect description, in this case he is entitled to his money back and the courts would support him
then there's just the moral issue of it £100 that wasn't yours anyway just to resolve it??
But thats a different matter. do you really want to sell this or are you just having a moan about it????golfman wrote:Iv lost a week of potential sales due to this man, I also mot'ed it at his request.
You're a lawyer? Honestly!? Back to the books then my friend. A verbal contract is binding and legally enforceable. The problem will be proving it. It's more often than not one man's word against another. But it is indeed binding. In Scotland anyway, I suppose it might br different in Liverpool.LLamaFarm wrote:my 2c as a lawyer, is , you entered a verbal contract to hold the car until tuesday and put a mot on it, which you did, he didnt purchase it thats his problem you did your part of the contract, i may add verbal contracts are not binding by law in anycase
