Buying a used car.

scotty0103 · 2022-09-13 10:57:37

Asking for a friend. I have a friend who is selling a used car, a mutual friend wants to buy it. The issue is the buyer does not have an Irish drivers license yet, and wants to buy the car anyway and put in storage until he gets his license.Could the seller get into trouble for this transaction?

No, it's none of the sellers concern.

No, not their problem.
Make sure though that the seller puts the logbook in the post with the new owners details the moment the car leaves their hands.

If the new owner is a friend the new owner should declare the car off the road immediately or they will be asked to back pay motor tax when they go to tax car later. New owner should also get insurance quotes now as they might get a shock at the cost but I suppose that's their problem. A lot if non Irish E.g. UK people are shocked at costs here.
