Hello, I have a question. When drawing up the purchase and sale agreement, I indicated the seller’s name from my passport, but it (due to a change of surname - I got married) does not match the name on the passport... what should I do? Will there be any problems when registering with the traffic police?

They will. The full name in the PTS must match the full name in the DCP.

Hello! We are purchasing a car in another region and will change the license plates accordingly. When registering a car with the traffic police, a compulsory motor liability insurance policy is required. That is, the old numbers will be indicated in the OSAGO?

Good afternoon, tell me how to register a car in your name step by step, with registration of the purchase and sale and the presence of the seller directly at the traffic police, so that it acts as a guarantor, in case of anything. The seller does not have a valid MTPL policy.

Catherine, Hello.

When purchasing compulsory motor liability insurance, the old number will be indicated in it. After changing your registration data and receiving new numbers, you should contact the insurance company again to have a new number added to your policy.

Good luck on the roads!

Scorp333, Hello.

Officially, the traffic police does not provide such services and cannot be a guarantor.

Good luck on the roads!

Hello! I bought a car but they didn’t write anything in the title. Can the traffic police fill it out themselves?

the previous owner had to sign the title (well, since he didn’t sign, what will you do), everything else is filled out in the traffic police themselves and you just sign as the new owner.

Hello! Please tell me, is it necessary to show the car for inspection at the traffic police? Is it necessary to have insurance to register a car with the traffic police?

Daria, Hello.

Purchasing insurance and inspecting the vehicle are mandatory.

Good luck on the roads!

Good afternoon I purchased a car using a policy, I haven’t registered it yet, if I’m thinking of registering it in my wife’s name, can I do this if the seller signed a policy with me? Thank you.

Maksim, Hello.

To register a car in your wife’s name, you need to draw up a purchase and sale agreement or a gift agreement between you and your wife. In this case, you will have to provide the traffic police with all existing agreements (practice agreement between the seller and you, agreement between you and your wife).

Good luck on the roads!

Good afternoon, I’m buying a car through a friend, I’m in another city. What is the best way to complete the purchase, will my friend sign out the policy for himself and then give it to me, or in another way?

Hello, Linar.

1. If your friend first buys a car and then sells it to you for the same amount, he will have to file a tax return at the beginning of next year. You will not have to pay tax.

2. You can make a notarized power of attorney, in the text of which you allow a friend to purchase a car on your behalf. In this case, a friend will sign the agreement on your behalf.

3. You can agree with your friend and the seller about the following. You draw up, sign and send to a friend. After this, the seller signs the contract, and the friend gives him the money.

Choose the option that is more convenient.

Good luck on the roads!

I work 4/4 shifts. In principle, I earn normally, I don’t complain. But six months ago, my wife and I had a second child, and money was not quite enough. My wife is on maternity leave, so I decided that I needed to find some kind of alternative part-time job that I could combine with my main job and wouldn’t get me down. I decided that taxiing was a great solution. All that remains is to buy an inexpensive car that is most suitable for this. I searched the Internet for a long time for a normal car. As you understand, I bought a car there that was suitable for the unstable life of a taxi driver. Everything went well. The documents are in perfect order. Surprisingly, I'm happy.

So, the story about how you either bought a patent, entered into an agreement with some gang to provide dispatch services, how you registered in some database, when will that be?

Good day!

Tell me, I’m buying a car from a person who did not register it and drove without it, as a result, the license plates and certificate were confiscated.

What are the options for registering it with the traffic police? There is no insurance or technical inspection.

Oleg, Hello.

If the documents and license plates were confiscated precisely because the new owner did not register the car, then there will be no special problems.

When contacting the traffic police, you will need your purchase and sale agreement, as well as the original agreement between the previous owners. You can buy OSAGO on the basis of PTS.

Good luck on the roads!

So, in your opinion, money can be paid before receiving the car? Or is it safe for the buyer immediately after registration of the policy? You know, I don’t want to throw away almost a million))) But I like the car so much and it goes through all the bases (even the mileage is not twisted))), which is already strange)

Paul, theoretically, you can agree with the seller, for example, that you will transfer the money to him in a day/week/month and formalize this period in the contract. However, the seller is also parting with a million (in the form of a car), so it is unlikely that he will agree. Because There is also a possibility of running into a scammer on the buyer’s side.

What danger do you see in transferring money?

Sergey-583

Good afternoon According to the contract, my wife gives me a car (2012). The two of us are registered in OSAGO (05/04/2018, latest).

1. To register with the traffic police, do I need to re-register for compulsory motor liability insurance or can I do this after registration?

Thanks in advance for your answer, Sergey.

Sergey, Hello.

1. To register, you will need a new MTPL policy, where you will be indicated as the owner of the vehicle.

2. It's possible. Currently, numbers are saved by default unless you indicate on your application that you require other numbers. Please note that the numbers must not be damaged.

Good luck on the roads!

1. I am buying a car. If it already has an MTPL policy (for an unlimited number of persons allowed to drive a vehicle) and a diagnostic card for this year, is it possible not to buy a new MTPL policy or is this mandatory?

2. If there is no more space left in the vehicle passport to add new owners. Is it possible that not the seller, but the buyer (so that the seller would not have to wander around again) would go to the traffic police with all the documents with the old PTS and there they would give him a new PTS with all the changes?

1. A new policy is needed, where the new owner will be indicated as the insured. Theoretically, the policyholder can contact the insurance company to make changes to the current policy, namely, change the owner.

Hello! I am the owner of a car driven by my ex-husband, who has been driving for a long time without taking out insurance and without a compulsory motor liability insurance policy at all. I want to sell him a car. The fact that in this case he will have to buy a compulsory motor liability insurance policy, where he will be the owner, is understandable. But we won’t be able to complete the transaction if the car is not insured before the sale? Is it possible to get me a compulsory motor liability insurance policy for a minimum period in order to save money? For example, for a month or a week?

Julia, Hello.

But we won’t be able to complete the transaction if the car is not insured before the sale?

The presence of insurance from the previous owner does not matter in this case. You can sell your car without compulsory motor insurance. Those. You do not need to take out insurance. Just fill it out.

Good luck on the roads!

Hello! I am a citizen of Kazakhstan, I am in Moscow... I want to buy a car and register it in the name of my sister, a citizen of the Russian Federation, who now lives in Kazakhstan... can I do this with a power of attorney written there and where can I get a sample? In the future I’m going to go to Kazakhstan in this car! Thanks for the answer!

Zhenya, Hello.

Good luck on the roads!

Can you clarify why a notarized power of attorney is needed in this case? Why isn't handwriting enough?

wowick, Thank you for your comment. You are right, a handwritten power of attorney is suitable for this transaction; it is not necessary to contact a notary.

Good luck on the roads!

The purchase of used vehicles is rapidly gaining momentum in the Russian market. This is due to the fact that used cars are much cheaper, and you can buy a pretty decent car for a reasonable amount. However, there is one nuance here: scammers are often found in this market segment, and in the best case, the buyer can receive a car with significant defects that were not noticed during the initial inspection. At worst, a person is left without a car and money. Let's try to figure out how to properly buy cars second-hand.

Proper documentation is a guarantee of security in transactions with used vehicles. Despite this, practically nothing is required from the buyer when completing a purchase and sale transaction. Required documents include a passport and driver's license.

Driver's license

If necessary, you can make photocopies of these documents so that the buyer’s data remains with the seller after the transaction is completed. However, this is not a prerequisite, and if the seller does not insist on receiving copies, you can do without this step.

Documents from the seller

The package of documents that the seller must submit will be much more complete. In particular, the buyer must request all documents that can ensure the legal purity of the transaction. These include:


Additional documents include a driver's license, insurance, and operating instructions. In general, the more complete the package of documents from the seller, the safer the transaction.

Features of buying used cars

Let's consider the basic conditions relating to the purchase of used cars.

What documents are needed

In general, to complete the transaction you will need:


The purchase and sale agreement must state as fully as possible the characteristics of the subject of the transaction and the details of the participants. This will help avoid misunderstandings in the future.

Correct execution of the purchase and sale agreement

The document must contain the following information:

  1. Passport details of the parties to the transaction.
  2. Date and place of the transaction.
  3. Full information about the car: make, color, model, engine and body numbers.
  4. Absence or presence of encumbrances.
  5. Method and terms of mutual settlements.

Please note that you can additionally draw up an act of acceptance and transfer of the car. This document is proof that the buyer has no complaints about the technical condition of the vehicle.

A transfer act and a purchase and sale agreement are drawn up in 3 copies. One remains with the parties to the transaction, the third is transferred to the traffic police upon registration of the vehicle.

Notarization

Let us immediately clarify that it is not necessary to have such transactions certified by a notary, although there is no prohibition on this procedure. In general, this issue remains at the discretion of the parties to the transaction. When contacting a notary office, it is important to remember that certification of any documents and transactions is paid. On the other hand, a qualified lawyer will help you correctly draw up a purchase and sale agreement. However, even without notarization, a contract for the purchase and sale of a used car acquires full legal force from the moment it is signed.

Re-registration of PTS

In order for the vehicle to pass to the new owner, it is necessary to make a corresponding entry in the title. To do this, enter the following data:

  1. The date on which the transaction took place.
  2. Number of the document certifying ownership.
  3. Personal signatures of the parties to the transaction.

If the car is purchased from a legal entity, the seller’s signature is additionally certified by the organization’s seal. In situations where there are no blank pages left in the PTS, the document is reissued by the traffic police.

Registration of title when selling a car

How does money transfer happen?

This issue remains at the discretion of the seller and buyer. In particular, payment can be made in cash or by bank transfer. The main thing is to make a note in the purchase and sale agreement that the buyer has received the money in full.

Receiving keys and undergoing maintenance

When the seller receives the money, he gives the buyer the keys to the car. You need to understand that after the transaction, the new owner of the car must have the following documents in his hands:


Car registration plates deserve special attention. According to current legislation, the former owner of the car can keep the license plates. To do this, you need to submit a corresponding application to the traffic police. When the car goes through the re-registration procedure and receives new license plates, the old ones will be returned to the previous owner.

On the other hand, registration plates can be transferred to the new owner along with the vehicle.

After completing the legal part of the transaction, the car undergoes a technical inspection. It is necessary to undergo maintenance in cases where there is no diagnostic card. Technical inspection is carried out at all service stations that have received accreditation from the Russian Union of Insurers.

Registration of insurance

There are two possible options here. According to current legislation, driving a car without an MTPL policy is prohibited, and the legislator does not insist on maintaining a valid motor vehicle license.

The new owner can independently insure the car with any insurance company. Please note that this must be done within 10 days after completion of the transaction. During this period,
You can drive a car without an insurance policy without fear of fines. However, if during this time the uninsured driver causes an accident, he will have to pay monetary compensation to the injured party out of his own pocket.

In this case, you can re-register your existing insurance. To do this, the parties to the transaction must contact the insurance company with an application for renewal of the policy. In this case, the former owner of the car receives compensation for the unused period.

Re-registration of a vehicle

Only the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate is responsible for registering vehicles. In this case, you can contact any department, regardless of your place of actual residence. However, the car must be re-registered within 10 days from the date of conclusion of the purchase and sale agreement. In this case, registration is carried out even without deregistering the car.

To carry out the procedure, the following documents will be required:


If an intermediary is involved in the re-registration of the car, a notarized power of attorney will be required. It should be clarified that the procedure for re-registering a car involves paying a state fee. On average, the service will cost 1,500-2,000 rubles.

Is it possible to return a car bought second-hand?

Let us immediately note that theoretically such a procedure is possible, but everything is not so simple here. In particular, much here depends on the form of the contract drawn up. For example, if the participants have drawn up an act of transfer of the vehicle confirming that the buyer has no complaints about the technical condition, it will not be possible to return the car, even if it was purchased with significant defects.

This rule will also work if the existing defects were listed in the purchase and sale agreement. In fact, these nuances confirm that the buyer was aware of the technical shortcomings, but despite this, the terms of the transaction suited him.

If the nuances listed above have not been documented, there is a chance to return the car to the seller. Firstly, you can simply call the former owner of the car and inform him of your decision to return the vehicle. In some cases, the seller can meet halfway, but not always everything goes so smoothly. For example, a person may simply refuse to carry out a reverse transaction or report that the money received from the buyer has already been spent.

If you refuse, you will have to defend your interests in court. Note that in this case you will have to conduct a technical examination of the car to confirm the validity of your decision. The service is paid, and the initiator of the trial will have to pay for the expert’s work.

At the same time, it is important to understand that it is not always possible to return the entire amount. This is possible in two cases:

  1. The machine has serious technical problems that cannot be eliminated.
  2. The cost of repairs is beyond reasonable financial limits.

If the car has minor defects, the court may oblige the former owner of the vehicle to eliminate them at his own expense or compensate the new owner for the money spent on repairs. Termination of the purchase and sale agreement in such situations is usually not provided for.

In any case, it will be difficult to resolve such issues without the help of a qualified lawyer. In addition, such legal proceedings can last for several years, so you cannot count on a quick return of funds.

The law allows for the sale of cars. The process must be formalized accordingly. This year, the current legislation has undergone major changes. This was done to make existing methods of fraud impossible to implement. Not all drivers are aware of the adjustments made. Experts advise to figure out in advance how to register the purchase and sale of a car according to the new rules in 2020.

Today, you can sell your own car yourself or with a general power of attorney. The transaction is concluded on the basis of a purchase and sale agreement.

In the process of carrying out actions, you will need to prepare a package of documentation. The sold car must be re-registered to the new owner. In this case, there is no need for deregistration. There is also a set of other innovations. To find out all of them, you should familiarize yourself with the latest information in advance. We will talk further about how the car is sold according to the new rules, about the package of documents that will need to be prepared, as well as about the features of registering a vehicle.

Today, you can formalize the sale of a car in two ways - using a standard purchase and sale transaction and using a general power of attorney. In the first situation, the seller and buyer enter into a simple written agreement. The mechanism for selling a car under a general power of attorney is simple. A document is drawn up regulating the transfer of the rights of one of the parties to a third party. It will act on behalf of the seller or buyer. The procedure for selling a car between individuals under a general power of attorney is associated with a number of additional nuances and risks. The likelihood of fraud increases. Therefore, purchasing a car under a general power of attorney is highly not recommended.

Before signing a car purchase agreement, it is worth finding out whether the previous owner of the vehicle intends to retain the license plates. If yes, then the person must contact the traffic police and draw up a statement in accordance with the established rules. The seller and buyer can then proceed directly to the sales process. The fact confirming the conclusion of the transaction is the car purchase and sale agreement. It does not require notarization. The transaction is concluded in simple written form.

The law does not impose restrictions on the frequency of sales and time of purchase and sale of vehicles. Any citizen has the right to draw up and sign any number of contracts during the year.

If the parties find it difficult to draw up a car purchase and sale agreement on their own, you can contact a lawyer. The specialist will draw up the document in accordance with established rules. However, a fee will be required for his services. During the transaction process, it is necessary to prepare a package of documents.

The owner of the vehicle is obliged to provide:

  • passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
  • registration certificate.

The list of papers for buyers is smaller. The person acting in this role must present a passport and purchase a compulsory motor liability insurance policy. The law allows information about the buyer to be included in the seller’s current policy if such an operation is provided for in an agreement concluded with the insurer. The information will be included in the PTS, as well as in the registration certificate.

The purchase and sale agreement for a new vehicle is drawn up in 3 copies. It must be supplemented by the vehicle acceptance certificate. The seller and buyer participating in the transaction each receive a copy of the contract. 3 copy is provided to the traffic police. It is required during the car registration process. Information about the buyer will be entered into the PTS. The law does not impose any special requirements on the specifics of drawing up a purchase and sale agreement. However, the paper regulating the transaction must comply with generally accepted rules of document exchange.

When filling out the form for the purchase and sale of a new vehicle, you need to take into account the following rules:

  • the period for transfer of the vehicle begins to be calculated from the moment the agreement is concluded;
  • the information in the document should be reflected in as much detail as possible;
  • You will also need to provide information about the documents for the car - registration certificate and title. This will subsequently simplify the procedure for deregistration and registration;
  • the price of the car must be indicated in numbers and words;
  • It is necessary to record a list of additional items that the seller transfers along with the car.

In the contract itself, the parties indicate the rights and obligations of each other. Composing the paper yourself can be problematic. Therefore, experts advise using a ready-made sample document and following the step-by-step instructions. This will avoid mistakes.

Car registration procedure

When the purchase and sale of a car is completed, you will need to complete the registration procedure. The action falls on the shoulders of the new owner of the car. He is obliged to contact the traffic police to undergo the procedure within ten days from the date of conclusion of the contract.

To register a purchase, you need to have a package of documents with you, the list of which includes:

  • a completed application to contact the traffic police;
  • PTS car;
  • OSAGO policy;
  • registration certificate;
  • a copy of the vehicle purchase and sale agreement with the signatures of the parties;
  • receipts confirming payment of the state duty.

The state duty consists of several parameters. A person who decides to buy a car will have to transfer funds to the state treasury for the title, registration certificate and license plates. In total you have to pay 2000 rubles. If the car still has old license plates, you do not need to provide funds for their repurchase. In this situation, the state duty will be reduced to 500 rubles.

During the process of re-registration of the car, the traffic police officer will inspect it, and the inspector will check the application. Then the new owner will receive the title back. The document will be stamped by the MREO. Additionally, a registration certificate and license plates are provided if they are renewed.

Do you need transit numbers?

Last year there were changes to the rules for removing and registering a vehicle. The detailed decision is due to the fact that the use of transit numbers issued upon transfer of a car provided the citizen with the opportunity to evade taxes.

Today, you can drive with temporary license plates only to avoid customs clearance. Registration can be carried out without deregistration.

This allows you to reduce the amount of time required to complete the procedure. Additionally, the new owner of the vehicle has the right to retain the old license plates.

Additional features of selling a car

If the PTS does not have a place to make an entry, the document must be updated before concluding the contract. The cost of the service is 500 rubles. You can pay the state fee at the bank or at terminals. Details for completing the transaction can be obtained on the traffic police website or during a personal visit to the organization’s office. According to the new rules, the purchase and sale agreement for a new car must contain an exact indication of the date of its conclusion. The transfer of the vehicle must be carried out on the basis of a signed agreement. The seller must transfer the registration certificate and title to the buyer.

Hello! Today we’ll talk about how to sell a car.

There comes a time in the life of every motorist when the owner is forced to sell his “iron horse”. But few people know how to do this as efficiently as possible - quickly and at the same time for a decent price. This issue has many nuances, which we will discuss in this material. So, how to sell a car profitably? Read the details in this article!

Before we get into the details of how to sell a car correctly, we’ll give some general tips and be sure to watch the video!

  1. The price of the car is affected by the season. Experts are inclined to believe that it is best to sell in the spring, but to buy in the winter. In the summer, when everyone is on vacation and at their dachas, finding a buyer will be very problematic. In general, the market has seen a decline in prices by 5-10%;
  2. It is better not to try to deceive the buyer. The fact that the meter is broken or twisted will eventually come to light, providing you with considerable problems;
  3. You should not sell your car in installments. If the buyer does not have enough funds, he can always apply for a loan from the bank, or come up with another way.

Factors affecting the selling price

  • Make or model;
  • Year of issue;
  • Mileage;
  • Equipment;
  • Manufacturer and country;
  • Gearbox type;
  • Steering wheel location;
  • Number of former owners;
  • Condition of the body and coating;
  • Smooth operation of the engine and gearbox;
  • Condition of optics and suspension;
  • Cleanliness in the cabin;
  • Terms of Use;
  • Additional options, restyling and airbrushing;
  • Battery, wheels and tires.

All those who have ever been involved in sales will unanimously say that pre-sale preparation of a car is mandatory. However, what should you pay attention to first?

Most often, buyers first pay attention to two important parameters: visible and audible defects. This category includes various dents, chips, cracks, as well as oil leaks and uneven engine operation. This is what should be eliminated first. It never hurts to polish the body (as well as the headlights) - the external shine and gloss attracts buyers. Chips should be painted over, and dents should be straightened.

Before you sell your car, fill it with good gasoline - it will make the engine run smoother. As an option, it is worth using fuel with a higher octane number. Be sure to replace the spark plugs and check the wiring. In most cases, after such work, the engine sound becomes much smoother. A fresh gasket will help avoid loud engine roar, which will scare off a potential buyer, and tightened belts will eliminate the whistling.

Is it worth washing the engine? Situational. If the car is many years old, and its engine looks no different from a huge lump of dirt, then it should definitely be washed. You shouldn’t think that a washed engine will scare away buyers: according to statistics from sellers, the number of buyers who don’t like a washed engine is no more than those who don’t like it being dirty. Try to figure out for yourself whether a clean engine can add value to the car or not.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the twisting of the odometer. In Russia, his testimony is rarely believed, so is it worth spending your money on correcting his testimony? Everyone decides for themselves. In any case, the mentioned preparation should already help in selling the car at a high price.

Where and to whom to sell a car

There are several ways to quickly sell a car. Here are the most popular:

Relatives

The method is both good and bad. Among the obvious disadvantages, it’s worth taking at least requests from relatives to reduce the price, give installments, etc. And the problems found later will be remembered for a long time. You will still have to respond to such claims, both morally and financially - this is simply inevitable. But it will be possible to sell the car quite quickly, and the price should be very attractive.

Glass stickers

You can place an advertisement for sale not only in the newspaper, but also on the car itself. A sticker with the word “For Sale” and a phone number - and here is the product as it is in front of the buyer. Every passerby will be able to see the ad, but only in the place where the car is parked. The special beauty of this method is that the potential buyer can immediately inspect the car for body defects, etc. One drawback is that with this method you will have to walk until the car is sold.

Automotive market

Today every major city has its own car market. Unfortunately, most often they are paid and you will have to pay a certain amount for a day of parking. On the other hand, you can always not only show yourself, but also look at others - choose an option for further purchase, argue about prices. It will always be useful to go to the market at least once - there you can re-evaluate your own car closer to reality.

As for the usefulness of this method, it is difficult to judge. Some people sell the first time, others sit there all weekend for several months, which results in significant expenses.

There are two important nuances here: before going to the market, it is better to immediately clear the interior and trunk of personal belongings. It is possible that you will be able to sell a used car today, and as a result you will have to run around and think about where to put everything. You should also be wary of resellers - they will hover over the car, convincing you of its disgusting condition in an attempt to get a lower price. Of course, you should stay away from such people.

Advertisements in newspapers

Despite the fact that advertisements in newspapers are not read as often today as before the widespread use of the Internet, this method is still relevant. Especially in the regions, where buyers often turn to “From Hand to Hand” and similar publications in search of the right product.

Selling via the Internet

Perhaps almost the optimal way. The whole country will be able to see the ad, you won’t have to pay for its placement, and you won’t have to go anywhere to submit it. All you have to do is sit and wait for calls. The most popular portals for this today are Avito, Avto and Drom. The latter is focused more on Japanese cars.

When posting several ads on different portals, it is better to work hard and publish different pictures. Someone may be attracted by one thing, another by another. This way you can increase the flow of potential buyers.

The Art of Writing an Advertisement

A well-written sales advertisement will help you sell your car quickly and profitably. It can also slow down the entire process by the same amount. After you decide on which site you are going to place your ad for sale, it’s time to compose it.

The first thing you should pay attention to when placing an ad is the photos of the car. These are the ones that potential buyers will look at. If you don’t place them at all, no one will notice your ad. If you place low-quality or frankly unsuccessful ones, you can scare away buyers instead of attracting them.

In addition, the ad must be filled with information. You should not glorify all the advantages of the car in high style - instead, try to lay out all the information as clearly and accessible as possible. It should help you stand out from the crowd.

These two factors are fundamental, but there are enough nuances on how to sell a deregistered car.

Which photos to choose

There are two main points here. Firstly, you should choose photographs that are appropriate to the season of sale, so that it is clear that they are recent and not taken who knows how long ago. You need to take pictures from all sides and always during daylight hours. Experts recommend taking several dozen photographs in bulk and then selecting the most beautiful ones.

Photos can also tell a lot about a car, and they are obliged to do so. If the car has external defects that will be quickly detected during a visual inspection, you should not try to hide them in the photo, deliberately avoiding them.

What to write

Equally important is well-written text. First of all, it must include a complete description of the car. Don’t use general phrases; try to mention all the advantages. A person who looks at an ad must understand whether he needs such a vehicle or not. This will help ensure that only truly interested clients call you.

It is also important that the description is completely accurate. In no case should it be mentioned that the car was not damaged or repainted if this is not true. An experienced buyer will immediately figure out the truth, which will turn into a scandal. Mention that bargaining is possible, but it should only be done in person. Many experienced sellers know: even if the buyer is completely satisfied with everything, including the price, he will still bargain. That is why you should put a higher price in the ad - in practice, during the auction, you can painlessly reduce it to the starting price.

On the Internet there is a buyer for everything, even the most rotten and damaged car. Just don’t talk about its merits if it can barely stand on the move - it’s better to immediately reveal all your cards and wait for your buyer.

7 steps to selling your car quickly

1. Choose a sale date

The most important point is to decide in advance how quickly we need to sell the machine. This determines what actions should be taken in the future. It is worth remembering that urgency and high price are incompatible concepts. The more time you have, the wider the range of options. If you need funds right now, you will have to place an ad with the most attractive price or immediately give the car to resellers.

2. Determine the desired price

Everything is more complicated here. It is advisable to immediately go through various publications and portals with classified advertisements in order to evaluate the car by analogy with cars of the same year of manufacture, country of manufacture, etc.

3. Determine the desired method of sale

There are many options here, from an advertisement in the newspaper to a trade-in program that will help you exchange an old vehicle for a new one with a minimal additional payment. In the latter case, you should remember that your car will be valued much cheaper. About a third compared to the average price.

4. We carry out pre-sale preparation

Its importance has already been mentioned earlier. Remember that an extra wipe of glass and a washed interior can bring in more than one thousand rubles.

You should not write a highly artistic novel in your ad. Everything should be said clearly and to the point. It will be enough to carefully list all the characteristics, note the strengths and weaknesses, features, additions and improvements. In addition, the advertisement should be periodically updated and supplemented with current photos.

6. Negotiations and bidding

After potential buyers see the ad, some may ask for more information. At this stage, the more calls the better. Experienced sellers recommend purchasing a separate SIM card, since it is not safe to show your real phone number today, and after the sale is completed, you can simply put it aside, in which case you will not be bothered by calls.

A few words about the negotiations. The golden rule here is: don't panic. People can be very different, but the following categories will often call you:

  • Resellers. You can distinguish them very simply: they will immediately offer their price, most often 20-30% lower than yours. At the same time, they are not at all interested in the condition of the car. It is recommended to contact such people only as a last resort;
  • Irresponsible buyers who make appointments. But then they themselves don’t come to them. To protect yourself from unnecessary unnecessary running around, it would be better to make appointments as close to home as possible.

You should not let go of buyers who are going to “just go for the money.” Require a deposit from them. If the buyer does not agree, you should look for the next one. You shouldn’t be “intelligent” with potential buyers; choose a tough line of behavior. Under no circumstances let them ride in the car - often in this case the sellers get nothing but trouble as a result.

7. Paperwork

Very often you can come across an offer to sell a car by proxy. A separate paragraph of the material is devoted to this, but in short we can say this - this option will be inconvenient both for the seller and for the buyer himself.

Selling a car without deregistering it

Recent changes in legislation allow owners to sell cars even without having to deregister them. True, this is only available to participants in the transaction living in the same region. The step-by-step instructions here are as follows:

  1. drawn up in 3 copies. The first remains with the seller, and the rest are transferred to the buyer; of the latter, one will be required for registration with the MREO. An important point: it is not at all necessary to seal the contract with a notary; it will be enough to write it by hand, filling in your passport details, as well as indicating information about the car. The paper must have a date and two signatures: the seller and the buyer. No amendments to the contract are allowed;
  2. After receiving funds from the buyer, the new owner should be recorded in the technical equipment passport. You should leave your own autograph in the signature box. It would be a good idea to make a copy of the PTS for yourself, and the passport itself is given to the buyer;
  3. He should also be given the vehicle inspection certificate, vehicle registration certificate and keys. The responsibility to obtain a compulsory motor liability insurance policy falls on the buyer;
  4. In order to make life easier in case of problems, the seller and buyer can exchange photocopies of passports.

Based on the results of all actions, the owner must have the following papers in his hands: a purchase and sale agreement, money, a copy of the PTS and, optionally, a photocopy of the passport.

It is worth noting right away: this method of how to sell a car without deregistering it also has a negative point. Currently, even experts do not really know how motorists who have bought a car that has not been deregistered will defend their rights in court. Only time will be able to show whether the court will require the traffic police to register cars.

Used car valuation

One of the main problems that certainly faces those who are going to sell their car is the price. How much can you sell your “iron horse” without selling it short? How to determine the value of a used car? What stock should I take for trading and is it worth doing it at all? What is typical is that you can calculate the optimal price without any tricky formulas or long calculations.

Most often, the seller follows the following path: he opens advertisements in the newspaper or goes to thematic forums on the Internet and looks at how much similar cars are sold for. This path is reasonable and correct, but only partially. Thanks to him, we will only be able to find out approximate prices, because two similar cars and the circumstances of the sale simply do not exist. On the other hand, using this approach we will be able to find out at least approximate price ranges.

There are three more effective ways to evaluate a car for sale:

  1. Contacting a bank or other credit institution. Simply ask her to calculate the potential value of the car as a possible collateral for the loan. Moreover, in this case it is not necessary to take out a loan. You can absolutely safely increase the stated amount by 10-15%, and put the car up for sale with the resulting price tag;
  2. Contacting a car dealer. The option is almost identical, but here you should ask for approximate prices for the program of exchanging a used car for a new one with payment. Here you should add a little more to the amount - about 20%;
  3. The third option is insurance organizations. You should inquire about the potential valuation of Casco. It’s worth noting right away that in this option they won’t tell you the price of the car, but the cost of the policy will be quite clear. It’s just that it’s calculated based on the price of the car. To get it, just add 90% to the amount.

Attention: all of the above applies only to relatively young cars, no older than 10 years. For machines with a longer service life, you will have to spend a lot more effort. The main criterion here is mileage.

It is unlikely that it will be possible to determine the exact amount, but experts recommend proceeding as follows: first, we look through the advertisements and select the maximum price among analogues. If no one responds to the ad within a month, we reduce the requested amount by 5%. We continue the process until the desired result is achieved.

Sale by proxy

Among motorists you can often hear the term “ownership by proxy”. This selling method has its pros and cons, which we will now discuss.

It’s worth starting with the fact that such a method itself means transferring the right of ownership, disposal and use to a third party. As a result, the vehicle, as it were, leaves the hands of the owner and goes into the possession of the attorney. However, all this is no more than temporary.

Both the buyer and the seller may face inconveniences with this method of ownership. Let's start with the first one:

  • The attorney is not the owner of the car, so the owner can unilaterally cancel the agreement;
  • If the owner is seized, the court can seize the car from the attorney;
  • In the event of the owner's death, the car can go to the heirs;
  • If the car is stolen, the attorney again loses it;
  • Selling a second time by power of attorney is impossible or requires notarization (depending on the drawn up agreement);
  • The attorney cannot re-register the vehicle;
  • In case of loss of power of attorney, you will have to contact the owner;
  • It will be almost impossible to defend your interests in the event of a technical malfunction.

There are certain risks for the owner:

  • He will have to pay taxes on the car;
  • If the car is used for criminal purposes, then the owner will be the first to feel all the troubles with the law.

Sale of used cars

There are times when you need to sell a car after an accident. So, how to sell a junk car? In this case, conventional selling methods rarely produce the desired result. There are three main ways:

1. Redemption of damaged cars

The method is both the most obvious and the least profitable. Most often, sellers end up with resellers who are trying to buy a car in order to sell it at a higher price later, so you shouldn’t expect the real price from them. In the end, if all the components except the body are in good condition, then it will be more profitable to sell the car for spare parts - the final profit will be much higher. Unfortunately, in this case, you will have to create and monitor a whole bunch of ads at once, which is unlikely to please anyone.

2. Selling a car without repair

One of the most controversial options. It’s unlikely that anyone will like a dented and battered car purely psychologically. However, others will perceive this as a plus - all the shortcomings and vulnerabilities are immediately visible, which can turn out to be beneficial. Don’t think that there won’t be a buyer for such a car. But the price will be lower than repairing and selling a refurbished car. But more on this a little later.

3. Selling a refurbished car

This option is used by those who are going to hide the “pig in a poke” to some extent. It is worth remembering that serious damage can be disguised, but as a result it will still come out. One of the main problems here is buyer fear. When selling a repaired car, you will have to try and prove that the damage was minimal. Only in this case will it be possible to get the proper high price for the car.

Selling a used car for spare parts

A few words about how to sell a car for parts. It will not be possible to simply disassemble a vehicle and sell it piece by piece - first you will need to obtain the consent of the tax office, for which an appropriate examination is carried out.

At the next stage, you will need to take a photograph of the car and post its photo on various sites (they have already been mentioned above). You should store your damaged car in a garage or in a parking lot - otherwise, criminals will solve the problem of dismantling and selling it for you. As for the starting price, take the market average right away. If you cannot find similar offers, you can always consult with familiar specialists.

Selling a car for parts quickly is unlikely to be possible. As an option, you can immediately contact resellers. If you know someone, it’s worth talking to the craftsmen and agreeing on 60-70% of the price of each part sold. The revenue will be frankly low, but at least part of the funds will be recovered.

Selling a car without documents

From time to time, advertisements appear on the Internet for the sale of cars without documents. The reasons for their absence are given in a variety of ways, but most often people immediately think about whether the car is listed as stolen. In fact, this is not always the case. As an alternative example, we can highlight at least “left” customs clearance or the banal loss of documents. Most often, they prefer to purchase such cars for spare parts - this is due to the fact that without documents it will not be possible to register the car.

How to sell a car without documents? It’s worth saying right away: this is legally impossible. The sales contract simply will not be carried out by the commission agent. Moreover, this is also true for those cases when the car was not stolen, but the documents were simply lost for one reason or another. When buying such a car, you should be very careful - you should check in advance whether the car itself or any of its main components is listed as stolen.

Selling a credit car

Some people buy a car with a bank loan and end up in a situation where they simply cannot pay it back. As a result, they have a completely logical question: how to sell a credit car? The answer is simple: quite simple and there are several ways to do this. We will talk about them.

Sales through a bank

Simply driving a car to the bank’s door is a useless option, no one will take it, but very often credit institutions have partners who sell collateral. There are even special auctions where cars end up by court decision. They are one of the ways to sell a credit car. But in this case, of course, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to get the full price for the car.

The algorithm can be explained in more detail as follows: the seller and the buyer contact a credit institution, where a purchase and sale agreement is concluded. In this case, the buyer must open a bank account into which the balance of the loan debt is deposited, and the balance of the price is given to the seller. As soon as the loan is repaid in this way, the bank must issue its opinion to both parties, which indicates the fulfillment of the obligation secured by the pledge.

An important point: when concluding the initial contract, the buyer can specify in it additional functions of the seller, for example, vehicle registration. In general, it is possible to sell a car to a bank, but not very profitable.

Independent sale

You can try to sell the car yourself, but you will still have to resort to the services of a bank. You will need to conclude a tripartite agreement, which stipulates the following: the buyer transfers a certain amount to the seller, he gives back the car with documents, and spends the proceeds to repay the loan. After completing this procedure, the vehicle is removed from the collateral property register. Losses include banking services and income taxes.

It is also possible to re-issue the loan to the new owner. With this approach, the car needs to be deregistered and re-registered to the buyer; this will require spending about $200.

Which method should you choose? It is worth proceeding from priorities: if you need to close the loan quickly, it is better to entrust the sale to the bank; if you need to get a good amount, we handle everything ourselves. The bank will be able to do everything on its own, but the price will eventually drop significantly, about 25%. But the method allows you to completely distance yourself from the sale - a special broker will handle everything.

Taxes on car sales

When selling a loaned car, in some cases you will need to pay tax. It is paid if:

  • The price of the vehicle is above 250,000 rubles;
  • The sale price is higher than the purchase price;
  • Service life less than 3 years.

The tax rate for individuals is 13%.

Taxation nuances:

  • When selling, you will need to confirm the transaction amount and the starting price of the vehicle. The easiest way to calculate the tax is if the car costs 250 thousand, that is, more than a tax deduction. Only the amount exceeding it is taxed by law;
  • If the seller has owned the car for more than 3 years and during this time he had only one insurer, then no tax is paid upon sale. The point is very important - if one policyholder fails to comply with the conditions, you can receive a significant fine;
  • If the amount received from the sale of the pledged vehicle is lower than the original price, then it is not paid;
  • Some sellers negotiate with buyers so that the contract specifies a lower transaction amount than the actual amount. This happens especially often when it comes to a vehicle less than 3 years old that was sold at a price higher than that stated at the time of purchase. This practice requires almost complete trust between the parties;
  • After selling a vehicle with a service life of less than 3 years, after sale you will need to report the fact of the transaction to the tax office. To do this, fill out, to which documents confirming the fact of sale are added.

As you can see, the question “how to sell a car under a purchase and sale agreement” is solved very simply.

Documentation of the sale of a car

Each transaction for the purchase and sale of a car must be properly formalized. The main document is the contract, which is the legal basis of the sale, which confirms the fact of ownership. It is filled out in triplicate with a dark colored pen. As soon as the contract is signed, the car becomes the property of the new owner.

Upon completion of this stage, you will need to register the vehicle with the traffic police. The owner is given a period of 10 days to do this, during which the car must be registered and its registration data changed accordingly. If the buyer does not make it in time, he will face a fine. Moreover, after 10 days the seller can write a statement himself and terminate his registration.

To register and re-register a vehicle, you will need the following papers:

  • Passport of the owner and vehicle;
  • Application for registration;
  • Contract of sale;
  • Registration certificate;
  • OSAGO;
  • A document confirming payment of the state fee for issuing a registration certificate and for making changes to the PTS (350+500 rubles);
  • certificate of payment of the state duty for registration plates if it is necessary to change the number (2000 rubles).

So, how to properly register the sale of a car. Starting from 2016, the transaction itself is processed according to new rules. It can be done even without deregistering the vehicle, and temporary transit numbers are no longer issued. A car is deregistered in one of two cases: when it is sent for scrap or abroad. Used cars are sold with their license plates.

The parties can complete the transaction without involving a notary. In addition to the pre-prepared agreement, each of the parties must have passports, and the seller must also have a vehicle passport. The latter will help the buyer find out important nuances about the vehicle’s past. If the old one was lost, and you issue a new one with a mark, the buyer will immediately be wary. Such cases are always the first sign that the car is listed as stolen.

  • Sometimes due to old age or due to corrosion, the body number becomes unreadable. To avoid problems in the future, it is better to undergo a forensic examination in advance. It’s just that it takes a long time to complete, so it’s better to postpone selling the car for several months;
  • Upon receipt, check the money for authenticity. This service is provided by all banks without exception, and its price is relatively low. Alternatively, agree to deposit funds into your card account. You can withdraw cash at any time;
  • And again about the important thing: selling a car by proxy is one of the worst options among the possible ones. Claims, taxes, fines - all this will come to your name;
  • If the MTPL policy is valid at the time of sale, you can contact the insurance institution to request a refund.

Is it possible to sell a car under a contract? Not only is it possible, but it is also necessary. Today this is the simplest and legally correct way to formalize a transaction of this kind.

In this article, we will tell you how to fill out a purchase and sale agreement, how to set the validity period of a car sale agreement, and how to avoid mistakes in the content and complete everything correctly.

“Hat” and passport details

The name of the contract (purchase and sale of a vehicle), as well as the date and place of drawing up, is written here. The name of the city is entered on the left side, and the date of the transaction is indicated on the right side.

Immediately after completing the “header”, the passport details of both parties, both the seller and the buyer, are entered. What to note in the contract:

  • Full name of the seller and buyer;
  • Passport number and series;
  • Where and when the document was issued;
  • Registration and actual address of residence, if they differ.

The telephone number is also indicated here. Home or mobile - it doesn't matter. When filling out, it is better not to abbreviate words if they are not well-established or generally accepted.

Vehicle information and price

Further in the contract there is information about the object of the transaction. Here they indicate the make and model of the car, the VIN code and the numbers of components such as the engine, chassis, frame (if equipped), as well as the state registration number.


The data is entered in detail, including the year of manufacture, the color of the car, its body type, and so on. When registering with the traffic police, employees see that in front of them is the car that was the subject of the transaction.

After all the data about the car is indicated, the price of the car follows, which was agreed upon. As in most documents, numbers are written twice - in words and in numbers. For example, you write “300,000 rubles 00 kopecks” and then “Three hundred thousand rubles”.

If the contract is handwritten and not based on a sample, then further in the form you indicate the period for transferring the car and the period for transferring money - they may vary depending on the terms of the transaction, if it is an installment plan, or the car can be transferred only later for some reason.

A sample agreement looks like this:

The purchase and sale agreement separately requires a list of all those additional things and components that the seller agreed to give away: spare tire, tools, etc.

Legal subtleties

Drawing up a purchase and sale agreement is an important process, but it is equally important to know the legal aspects and have a general understanding. You don’t need to be a certified lawyer for this, but without some knowledge there is a risk of facing deception or fraud:

    • Be sure to put your signature on the DCP - if, at the buyer’s request, you leave this field empty, there is a chance that he will simply resell the car on your behalf, without even deregistering it;
    • If the sale is carried out in installments, strictly indicate the terms of payment;
    • It turns out that you are selling a car more expensive than you bought it recently, and also more expensive than 250 thousand - in this case, a tax on the acquired benefit will follow. in our separate article.
    • The validity period of a car purchase and sale agreement is usually not regulated, but you can specify it separately to prevent the buyer from delaying the registration of the vehicle.

It will be much easier for those who are prepared to sell the car under a contract and prepare the document correctly.

To sell your car easier and faster, use the Autocode check. Its results will tell buyers about your car for you, providing information from databases in five minutes. Not only the buyer will know all the details about your car, but perhaps you yourself will learn something new about it: everything about accidents, liens, traffic police restrictions, fines, working in a taxi and much more.

On-site inspection specialists will help you understand the technical condition of the car. They will arrive at the call with equipment and diagnose the car where it is convenient for the client, after which they will make a verdict - is it worth buying the car, or its technical condition leaves much to be desired.
