LCGJoinery Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Just sold my car and the guy has left me a deposit with the rest to pay when he collects it at the weekend, but he's just messaged me asking if he can have the new registered keeper number that's on the log book... Is it safe to do that? I literally have no idea about this. It could potentially just be a stupid question haha. Any help would be appreciated.

Dardandec Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 If that's the document reference number? it will be so he can tax it. Remember tax is no longer transferable between owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obelix Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 When you sell the car you give him the new keeper section. That will let him tax it at any post office or he can do it online or over the phone at that point. He doenst need it now and you shouldnt let him have it till he's paid in full.

I think he wants it so he can get it taxed for when he picks it up... Is that safe to do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Miyagi Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I think he wants it so he can get it taxed for when he picks it up... Is that safe to do so? I can only speak for myself but I would NOT give it him. He can tax it when he has paid for it in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowperil Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 It all boils down to how much you trust him essentially. I can see the reason he would want to tax it so its legal to drive home. If anyone tried to get the logbook into their name without the actual green slip then the dvla would contact the previous owner to say what's happening and confirm that you agree and know. Theres really not much else he/she can do with the logbook number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCGJoinery Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Yeah he wants to get it taxed and insured for the weekend so he can drive it home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carboy42 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 OK Here we go The V5C or Logbook states on it in big clear text that the document does not prove ownership of the car. It just shows who is responsible for taxing the vehicle. Go read that and put your mind at rest then give him the number so he can tax the car. Its still your car until you give him a receipt to say otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
