NO V5

Bought a car with no V5 but took it back and changed it for another the next day but that also had no V5. Was 'persuaded' by the dealer that we could take a V62 to the Post Office and get tax immediately BUT he had to write on the form that the vehicle had been purchased a month previously. We did get the tax ok but within a couple of hours realised that the turbo was not working and it was changed back to the original car. I informed DVLA. Went to the Post a Office with another V62 but couldn't get tax as it was already taxed! Asked for refund from The dealer as we'd stressed that we needed to use the car immediately and this was a'Breach of Contract' but he definitely was not going to refund. The upshot was the 2nd car sat on our drive for almost 3 weeks and a £65 fine arrived for the 1st vehicle as it had been parked on a public road just a few days before we purchased it. As soon as we turned up to the site where he keeps his cars that should have been warning enough NOT to buy there - this is a much shortened version of our horrible experience.
