Simon Mac Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The V5 arrived for my new car today, but the car is at least a week away! TBH it's the first time I've personally bought a brand new car, is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It does happen but when the car does arrive it will not have a tax disc, they come separately now (ours never turned up and had to get a replacement from the post office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Mac Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 The best thing about it is I received the V5 one day before the date of first registration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I have received a car before the date of registration, I had to promise not to drive it until the day though (I was good but very tempted not to be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
