jackso11 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Can anyone on here help me out... I am selling a mazda mx-3 that I have been working on (mums old car) and have had it MOT'ed to help the sale, however as it has been off the road for a while it has been sorn and not insured. I have had offers from people to buy it but getting it from my mums house to the buyer is proving difficult due to it not having any tax. I can get a days insurance to drive it, but can't get tax with that and don't want to insure it for a year just to get tax as I am only looking to get £800 for it! Can anyone on here who is a trader get tax using their trader insurance for me? Then I can insure it for a day and drive it to whoever buys it. Help please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Wouldn't it be eSker to knock off gbp50 and get the buyer to collect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 apparently not. I have had 4 offers and accepted, people keep asking me to tax it ready for when they collect which I can't do unless I insure it. I have offered to tax it if thex insure it and fax/scan the insurance so they can pick it up.....apparently thats not good enough. One person wanted me to drive it them, which I am happy to do....but can't without tax. I can get a days insurance but can't get tax with that.

Thorin Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 You can still get 6 months tax you know... then stick £50 on the price. Then cancel the insurance once sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said if you go to the Post office with your one day insurance certificate on that same day you can tax it...but as you say its whether the buyer wants to pay for tax...

jackso11 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Really? I can get 6 months tax? I was told that it had to be an annual insurance cert to get tax an a day cert won't do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know on a days insurance. It's not going to cost you much to insure for a month third party only though surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supspower Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I did a days insurance to get tax on a rover 25 i bought back in Jan. Whether the lady checked the certificate fully who knows but i got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Sean Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 If you cant get it at one post office then try another one, When i was home for xmas leave my Veccy ran out of tax and i tried to tax it with my German insurance, The one post office wasnt having it cause with Germany insurance you dont get a certificate so i shouted at them a bit and moved on to the next post office who didnt even really check and give me the tax no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 cool I will give it a go then. £25 days insurance, a month insurance is almost the same as insuring it for a year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 If you insure it for a year, there is a cooling off period as there is with anything, I think it is 12 or 14 days, in that time the insurance company HAS to return your premium in full, my broker told me that!!!! Or get it transported!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supspower Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 14 days but they can still charge a admin fee i think dont quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 All good tips. I will look into it. Anyone want a taxed Mazda Mx-3 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
