Have been counting the days till my RRS is ready for collection!!!, was given 23rd of march as a date for delivery, it did in fact arrive at the dealer then. I was told it would be pdi'd and ready today . But it has remained in their hands because the tax disc from DVLA has not turned up due to their strikes this month!! I am now being told it will be ready on wednesday! i have seen it, i have touched it, i have paid for it ,but i still cant get it!!
the next two days will be hell!!
cheers in anticipation

I thought dealers self taxed cars nowadays

Had the same problem with mine,only ten days

i was told today that if it was a normal number then they would have self taxed, but as it was my own number being transfered, they have to wait until the paperwork is completed for transfer from DVLA (i should have made that clear in my first post!) i would have thought 3 weeks was enough though but it seems i have been caught up in the strike(24th last week) althogh the dealer could be spinning a yarn, but i cant think why, as the car is there, complete with after market wheels i asked them to put on, and it was paid for on the 12th of march!

johnf,
ten days till collection?

Should have picked it up on the 1st,had to wait till the 10th

Cherished transfers are an absoloute nightmare these days. We used to be able to go to the tax office and wait for them to be processed there and then, however we now have to leave the paperwork and we are contacted when they are good and ready. We can't call for a progress update, instead we are only allowed to fax and wait for a response.

My advice is to put a plate on retention £25 more so £105 in total, take the car on a normal plate and then transfer the number once the log book and retention doc have come back.

This seems to be a hit and miss thing at the moment. LR could not get my cherry plate on the car in time for delivery and had to wait weeks driving on original plates, however, just collected my Ford Mondeo from a local dealer having traded in the Toybota, did deal Saturday, gave him cover note Tuesday, drove away Mondeao on my plates the following Saturday (7 days later) who's kidding who? purple people eater

james,
that is exactly what the dealer said today, the three weeks notice would normally be fine but the backlog created but march 1st AND 3 days strike have thrown it all to pot!! not the dealers fault, (they have been excellent in all other respects ), if it had been any more than a few weeks extra then i would have considered going down the "change plate after delivery route" but hey ho its only two extra days!! just so frustrating its sat in the forecourt rather than my drive, and i just cant wait!!!
cheers
