Hi all, Sorry if this post is a bit long but here goes.... Bought a 2011 Astra from a Vauxhall dealer 27 days ago, upon receiving the V5C today it says 2 former keepers whereas when I bought the car I remember the advert saying "one owner". I know about the Sale of goods act so I rang consumer advice and explained the situation however I didn't have an proof of the advert and they said Autotrader might not be able to track it or not release it due to data protection etc unless the matter went further legally, so I was worried the dealer might act dumb. Phoned up Autotrader and luckily the person on the other end of the phone said they can email me the latest version of the text in the ad, without any problems with data protection and if needed they would help with forwarding the text onto anyone else who may need it. Here's the email I got..... 2011 11 Reg Vauxhall Astra 2.0 CDTi 16V SE 5dr Auto, 5 Doors, Automatic, Hatchback, Diesel, 34,732 miles, Grey, *One Owner Full Service History*, Balance of Manufacturer Warranty, Cruise Control, Multi-Function Steering Wheel, CD Player, Body Coloured Bumpers, Automatic Headlamps, Front Fog Lights, Metallic Paint, Rear Wash Wipe, Adjustable Door Mirrors, Adjustable Steering Column, Air Conditioning, Electric Front and Rear Windows, Electric Mirrors, Trip Computer, ABS, Automatic Gearbox, Power Assisted Steering (PAS), Daytime Running Lights, Side Impact Protection, Isofix Child Seat Brackets, Central Locking, Deadlocks, Immobiliser, Remote Central Locking, 17" Alloy Wheels.£9,873Click 'Visit Website' for more approved used cars. So as advised I have sent a letter using a template to the dealer recorded delivery explaining the situation and have put "I would like this matter to be resolved either by a full refund, return of our part exchange car and monies or an acceptable replacement." I could ask for just some compensation and keep the car but one of the criteria when I was looking for cars was it to be just one former keeper. Just wondering if anyone has any idea what might happen and if they become difficult what to do,also if we got out PX car back what the deal would be as far as former keepers on it as we bought it from new so wouldn't really want to be the 2nd keepers and if that was the case could we be compensated for it as far as depreciation is concerned and insurance admin fees for changing cars etc etc. If i get a full refund then I'll be without a car so would that be considered as far as inconvenience and costs are concerned. Thanks for any advice given, Alan

I bought a car in December 2010 without the log book. The car was damaged so my intention was to have it off road to fix it up and sell it on without the logbook so that it remains as 1 former keeper from new. Well this process took longer than expected. With the company who sold me the vehicle having it back in their possession for most of the time as to cut a long story short they tried to rob me basically by removing good parts and fitting faulty parts to the car before they sold it to me, so i was in a battle with them to get them to sort it. In the mean time when i did have possession of the car i taxed it using the green new keepers supplement part. The post office stamped the barcode of this slip. Anyway now is 2013 so 2 years 2 months later, i do not have a logbook and i do not have tax. So my question is, when i pop to the DVLA to get it all sorted. When i tell them i bought the car in 2010 will they send me a fine for no tax? because i did not declare it sorn and i only taxed it 1 time. It HAS been offroad but not declared. Second question is, i tried to be cheeky and i tried to rub off the post office stamp on my new keepers supplement barcode so i could nip to the post office and tax it for the second time (this time i wanted to sell the car as it was now sorted of its problems). I backed out going as it looked a bit.....dodgey, anyway...will the DVLA accept the green part to get a new log book in my name? even defaced?. This car has been nothing but hassle for me, cursed, jinxed...however you want to call it. I've lost over 4 grand in 2 years trying to rectify the issues without taking the seller to court and the last thing i need is big fines for not taxing (when i didnt have possession of the car most of the time).
