Hi all, as many of you know I'm selling my car. Well I found a local buyer and the R is going to someone who appreciates the car like me.

What do I need to do to finalize the transaction. I got a list from the buyer (listed below) on what needs to be done. Based on my research I think thats it.

But you guys will know better than me so, is there anything else I need to do or know? I never sold a car before.
Thanks!!

1) DMV vehicle transfer from completed by both parties
2) DMV name statement
3. Sales tax (that's on my end)
4) $15 Transfer fee (your end)
5) Copy of current registration
6) Smog certificate
7) Registration fees (if due within 60 days)
8) Authorization for payoff (signed by you) -- *** This is only if you
still owe on the car

C'mon guys, i know some of u sold cars to people before.

 

i dont know the answer, but good luck. hope the owner treats it how it should be treated.

 

have you paid off the car?

 

yup!

 

i think if you the seller all u need to do it... have a bill of sale.. give the guy the title.. and mail in ur release of liability for the car... the rest is his doing I think.

 

In NC, I had to:

1) Get the clear title (no lien)
2) Sign the title transfer info (on the back) in front of a notary public
3) Give him a bill of sale

He was on his own for the rest. I just needed to turn in the tag so I could cancel insurance past that.

 

For VA, I was given instructions that exactly match splats info...

Cheese~who sold his R yesterday!

 

Here you go...hope this help
