Its not your problem ,tell them you want the docs immiediatly all they are doing is fiddling the vat.Or you want a payment to half the vat they will save do not forget what they have done is fraud against H.M.G.revenue dept probably punishable by death in the UK.

Honestly.
It isnt a 'Vat fiddle' unless your invoice is incorrect for vat. Look at the invoice. No way is a uk main dealer fiddling vat.
This is a fairly standard practice and occurs with lots of pre-reg new cars. Fleets get deals from the mfr, dealers get deals on demos from the mfr. The deal is that they are not supposed to resell those cars at low prices for a set time, mfr protecting price levels.
The V5 shows the KEEPER not the legal owner. Different things.
If you were looking at a pre-reg car or ex fleet car at motorpoint the same thing would happen.
Your Honda main dealer is doing you a good deal and you want to throw a wobbly?
Try doing a forum search - this has been covered many times.

Many Insurers will only insure you if the car is registered in your name.
More Than for one.
(Very inconvenient if you need to reregister a car which has been on private plates. I had to switch from More Than to be able to insure the car I had just bought because of that. An inflexible rule so I was told)

I've never been asked in whose name any member of my fleet is registred in, for heavens sake. The Defender is registred in the dog's name.

could it be that you are a business?
most private individuals will find that it is a condition of insurance that the vehicle is owned & registered in their name. some/most will not even accept a partner/spouse as owner/keeper if you are to be the main named insured driver.
cna madf & pugugly tell us who their insurers are, because imo these companies must be the exceptions to the rule.

I wouldn't throw a wobbly with anybody, I don't see the point, it just builds prejudice.
It's just that nobody at the dealership has explained why. It's so easy to be fobbed off if you don't know the real reason behind something.

Probably completely wrong here- but thought it was actually a legal thing introduced a few years back to stop dealers pre registering loads of cars as demonstrators then selling them next day at discounted price to boost their sales figures.
Think it came in around 2001 as dealer mentioned it whilst I was buying a car from them, and a friend had a similar thing when she bought her car.

It's a Tax issue. A demo car is tax detuctable but you have to keep it a minimum of 6 months to qualify and offset against tax. Regards Peter

This does seem standard practice, but I've always wondered what would happen if the dealer went bust.
Would the administrators think they owned the car? OK, you've got a receipt, but if the dealer hasn't put the sale through the books then it could be messy.
Being asked if the car is owned by you and registered in your name is a common insurance question.

You require a formal letter from the Company detailing the circumstances of the delayed V5. As you are not the registered keeper of the vehicle how did you insure it. A receipt and cover letter can prove ownership but not the Registered Keeper. Regards Peter
