Which dealer is this?
That's a pain in the backside, an extra set of plates and more admin for nothing.
Bizarre, Ineos have little or no experience of doing this, don't appear to be registered for online dealing and don't want to let the agents, for whom this is a bread and butter activity, handle it?
I'm gobsmacked if that is true, it must have been discussed at any one of the numerous online team talks or indeed the retail training conferences.
They'll need cleared money before the paperwork to register it happens, and if that's all done with paper then what does that add to the delays? DVLA state "It can take up to 6 weeks for your registration certificate (V5C) to arrive" if you follow the paper route. It's instant if you do it online, as you have confirmation and the paperwork just follows you on.
If the truck is registered by the dealer and then you get the truck and have to add your own plates, does that (on paper) make you the “2nd” owner?
No, thankfully, as that would reduce its value even quicker. Conventionally, the dealer would do the registration paperwork and file it online electronically; it looks like Ineos are doing that bit themselves without a process for personalised plates and they are having to do it on paper. It will probably make the actual collection days a bit hard to predict.
That’s good. I was worried that it would be considered a “used” car which would not only reduce value, it could affect financing and insurance.
Chandlers of Belton, Lincolnshire. They are Ssangyong dealers, so not entirely unaware of the processes.Which dealer is this?

My agent was all primed to register mine with a private plate, so this must be a late change in the workings or never briefed out fully.
Don't understand why "numbers registered have to be carefully controlled", but surely Ineos manage that by not shipping vehicles they don't want registering?

Ineos seem to know how to suck the joy out of the whole experience.
A UK quirk, the vehicle registration document is not the vehicle owner. It is the registered " keeper". That is the one responsible for maintaining the documents and road fund tax. Providing the registered keeper remains the same you can change address or to private plates whilst retaining single registration name.
Thanks for the replies. Coupled with the "sick of waiting" thread having 28K views, I'm going to take any customer pick ups as a, "No".
Interesting, thanks. Thinking about the N1/M1 split I would have hoped that IA would plan their manufacturing to ensure they stayed within the annual, monthly or whatever quotas for EU and UK markets, rather than holding them at dealers and managing their quotas that way. Still, stranger things have happened!
So, AFAIU N1 customers should be preferred??
Dunno mate but yours could have been built or be in build as the contract doesn’t seem to be required for IA to build a customer’s order. For example, I got notified mine was in production and asked how I’d like to pay before I got sent my contract for signature two weeks later. Their systems are a complete mystery or should I say mess?!!
Ineos seem to have bee taken by surprise by the registration process as most of you know car/truck dealers are part of an electronic DVLA registration process AFRL(you can't just sign up and use it you have through a training course which takes a little while. RaV has replaced the old Automated First Registration and Licensing (AFRL) service and is used by manufacturers and retailers to register brand new vehicles.
we will see. Having just spent £650 to get the px through its MOT [ thank you ford for the built in self destruct mode] I will just suck it and see!. Hope we have some successful deliveries in March as it would be good to get the feedback from the pro's rather than the press!
Same in Germany.
