Hey guys,
This is only my second post here, wasn't quite sure where to post this so decided to post it here even though it isn't specifically about only Scirocco's.
I've bought a used Scirocco from a VW dealer which had a private plate on it. The plate transfer request was sent off to the DVLA by the dealer at the very end of December, the 30th or 31st I believe. I therefore cannot pick up the car until the plate change over has happened and has been processed by the DVLA.
To anyone who's been in this position before or have experience in plate transfers, how long does this process typically take?
Hope someone can help!
Cheers guys!

Hmm, not impressed by a dealer selling a car with a private plate on it and wishing to retain the plate or hand it back to the previous owner.

Thanks for your replies! Haven't heard anything yet so hopefully the documents will come through this week and the dealer can then release the car!
