Hi all I'm just after a bit of information really.. .. I went and test drove a car at my local ford dealer about 4 weeks ago loved it so i put a £500 deposit down while i sorted my own finance out all was well until my finance company noticed the car was still registered in northern ireland they would not pay out until the garage got the car registered in the uk which i was told by the dvla would take 10 working days so that was all fine. 10 days pass still nothing i got in contact with the dvla again only to find out the dvla had received nothing and the garage had sent the 5v + paper work first class so no proof of postage and its lost i have taken matters into my own hands and sent a v62 to the dvla my question is the car is "in trade" as in the last owner must of sent the yellow part in(V5C/3) would this make it faster? Not 4 weeks to get a new v5 in my name as the dvla should not have to contact the last keeper which they say to give 2 weeks for the last keeper to respond. Or do they still need to contact the last keeper???
