Apologies if this post is better suited to another section:
I'm about to sell my coupe. It currently has a private plate on it that I want to keep. It is due to be sold next week. I will also be buying my new car next week and I would like the private plate to be transferred onto this car.
It used to be that I could take the V5 (or new owners slip), tax disc and mot for both vehicles and swap everything over at my local dvla office in Trafford Park for the cost of £80. But having looked on the dvla website this seems to have changed. Now it seems they take the documents and post them back to you at a later - date 4-8 weeks.
The dilemma is that I can't sell my car without paperwork and the new buyer is being good about tranfering the plate at a later date but does anyone know of a fast/efficient/cheaper way to do this?
Any help is much appreciated
