Trade in vehicle licence is behind, who pays?

[McGuywer]

What's your point exactly?

At least these people clearly point it out, don't they?

Why did you NOT point it out to the dealer during the evaluation?

Just answer that simple, straightforward and very relevant question.

How do you know I did not point it out or hide it?
The topic genuinely never came up. The previous evaluations I got, the dealer mentioned that the disc is behind and subtracted that from the tradein amount.



Let's stop this here.
The opinion is that I am liable for the renewal and I accept that.
I honestly did not know but at least now I know.


I am being accused of not paying my bills, trying to hide a renewal amount, ignoring problems and hoping they go away. I wanted to know, who is liable. The seller is liable, now I know.

The vehicle I traded in had a expired licence of about a year or so behind.

Don't forget ...

It's obvious you didn't point it out...otherwise you would not be posting here about it.

If you pointed it out to the dealer, he would have told you there and then you have to pay it.

I still don't understand how you expected to not be responsible for paying the license on a vehicle registered in your name..

Just because you traded the vehicle in, does not mean you magically have no more responsibility over the licensing of said vehicle..

Until the vehicle is transferred to the new owner, you are liable for any and all license and associated fees.. and the transfer cannot take place unless the vehicle is licensed..

Unless you had made the dealer aware of the expired license and included it in the deal you need to settle the fees to get the license current.

 

[Sinbad]

So you agree with the dealer that I need to pay for the licence renewal of the old vehicle?

Definitely. That license was your legal obligation.

 

[bluepoole]

Had the same situation a few years ago, bought a new car but still had outstanding fees on the old car (which I did not trade in though), had to pay it over before they could register the new car in my name.

It's your responsibility in the end.

 

[Nicholas Lisse]

Much like the thread title.
I traded in my vehicle for another vehicle, now the dealer is withholding my new vehicles licence/registration papers and is asking me to pay for the licence of the traded in vehicle.
The vehicle I traded in had a expired licence of about a year or so behind.

The dealer wants me to pay R1300 and some change for the licence on the traded in vehicle.
What do you guys think? My reasoning is that the dealer knew the licence was behind and needed to calculate that in his sums.

You need to have your licencing up to date at all times
Even I know that and I don't have Matric

 

[Crayons]

That's exactly what I did. I was in the middle of a divorce and pissed off at everything and miserable and thought, ****it, I'll take a chance. I got found out and I paid. I have since recovered from my emotional meltdown and I try and behave better now.

Have you owned more cars than marriages?

When MightyQuin and I think the same, you must know you done goofed McGuywer

Pay your vehicle license, it's the right thing to do

 

[RedViking]

Was your vehicle.

You pay.

Finish en klaar.

Then again, screw dealerships. They can pay.

I sold a small trailer to a guy 4 years ago. Yesterday I went again to licence it because he still hasnt put it in his name. I know the guy, good dude, but jinne I am getting bored paying for this licence every year.

You do realise you can deregister it from your name.
Or fill in the transfer of ownership and the rest is his problem.
No wonder you are poor.

 

[PsyWulf]

Legally required to be up to date to be driven
Did you or somebody else drive it on a national road to the dealership?
It's one of those things that most people don't ask because it rarely is an issue,except in the trash/facebook/whatsapp/trademeets where they usually mention it first

Being nice cost money and is high maintenance.

Unless the other option is divorce,then you rather just stay nice

Yeah, but the guy is also an Afrikaburner and almost 60, he has nothing. Poor man
