Every car you take out on British roads needs to be taxed. So if its parked up in a street infront of your house it can be taken away and crushed etc. Just make sure you stay off the motorways/duel carriageways and dont bring any attention to yourself.

If you like the car and intend to buy it, tell him to take a stroll down the Post Office and slap 6 months on the thing. I am sure if he wants to see a sale, he will not haggle over the cost of a tax disc.

He might not have it insured hence no tax, but I doubt you will be the first person to buy a car and drive it home without a tax disc ;)
Yeah definately get some tax on it, really not worth the risk and hassle if you get caught.
if its got a new MOT i think you can buy the tax on the internet as soon as you buy the insurance
I think you can only get tax online if its one of the 'newer' computerised MOT's... And if it's not taxed, it will void the insurance so you could be facing 'driving without insurance', which isnt good. Would be best to try to get him to tax it I reckon. Joe :)
Have sent him a message asking if he can tax it for me
trip to the post office cant be that troublesom fella! So what you buying anyway? I think you should move outta spares sales and into car sales dude ;)! Best of luck!

if you know any1 with trade plates you can drive it without tax
[QUOTE=markt4]if you know any1 with trade plates you can drive it without tax[/QUOTE] yea i done that when i picked up a mini, but it must be road worthy
unless marshalls will lend you some trade plates it should not be driven
i think if you do get a tug though its gonna be an £80 fine but i dont think any copper would do you seeing as you bought it that day the main ones to watch are the anprs
Personally I would, and have. I doubt Mr Plod will do much, especially if you have all the docs and a reciept. As long as you dont pass any ANPRS as already mentioned. Mind you, if you did the fine would go to the prevoius owner anyway :D
Panic over if i win the car he will tax it for me
Legally.. Can only be driven without tax to a PRE ARRANGED MOT test and back 'home' again. Must be a 'reasonable' distance. :)

i see he says he'll take £1500 - seeing as its at 1300 now it might be worth taking him up on that if its the one you want?
i would put £1500 in his hand and do the deal its gonna go over that at auction
hope you're gonna do something with the exhaust!
