Advice sought on selling a car

[lilelvis2000]

When you sell the car, it's your responsibility to send the details of the new owner to DVLA - if you've done that, you should no longer be the registered keeper. So presumably the tickets in your name will be cancelled and re-issued in the name of the new owner.

Dunno how long it takes DVLA to update their records, though.

Did all that. 'course the wife cocked it by sending the old V5 and not the new V5/C which I found two weeks later. She constantly brags on about her infalible filing scheme...

Not sure if that has caused the delay. But it has taken a while. I faxed them last week and they have noted us as nolonger the keeper of the vehicle..but the new owner hasn't replied to them yet. This is right outta the '50's.

Does the new owner have to respond? When I bought a car off a mate he sent in the form, and a little while later I received the new document in the post - I didn't have to do anything.

Mind that was nearly six years ago so maybe they've changed it again.
