narcotix Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Alright guys, I've been searching on the Internet but couldn't find a definitive answer .. Since buying the Zed, it's been registered to my dad on the V5 as it was considerably cheaper to ben insured as a named driver .. It's come to renewal time again while searching for a new policy I've found there isn't much difference to have it insured with me as the Policy holder ... So my question is this: Is there any way to transfer the ownership of the car, without adding an extra owner on the V5? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattygcup Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I had to do this with one of my old cars. I had to send log book off and add extra owner to the car. Call the DVLA see what they suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 There's no way of avoiding an extra owner/keeper going onto the V5, but since it will show up with the former keeper as having the same name as you, any future buyer should appreciate the situation once explained.

IanS16 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Could you ring the DVLA and say that you have noticed a mistake on the V5, ie. John Doe should be Steve Doe? (assuming the address etc is the same?) Pretty sure there was a mistake on one of mine and they amended it FOC and sent it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fronting I know it's not right to insure in this way .. but I was struggling with the insurance costs last year as I'd just purchased the Zed and spent a little more than I wanted ... I'm definitely sorting it out properly this year though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkwright Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 as far as insurance is concerned put it in your name with your mum or dad as a named driver. My son did this with his 300ZXTT and got £400 off the quoted price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 I've been trying all the different combinations to try and get the quote down ... I've found that adding my older brother and his missus as named drivers brings it down the most .. I'll try ringing the DVLA regarding the transfer tomorrow, before I send off the V5 ...
