Hi, just after some advice. I bought a car from Evans Halshaw last week and they refused to let me take the car as it didn’t have a log book. At the moment I have no car and am out of pocket nearly £10,000.
The car is still taxed and registered to the previous owner whom they are having trouble contacting. The previous owner said they will order a new log book, but we’ve been waiting over a week now and they are ignoring all calls.
My question is, if the car is still taxed and I insure it, can I drive it while I wait for the previous owner to send in the log book? If I borrowed someone’s car, then they will have taxed it, so is it not a similar situation?
All I want to do is insure the car and drive it while I wait for the log book, then when it comes, it will be transferred to me and I will tax in my name and the previous owner will get a refund.
Any advice would be appreciated.
