A guide to safer vehicle buying and selling
Before buying, inspect the bodywork, engine, gearbox, and electronics. Always insist on a test drive.
Check the service history, a carVertical report, and the condition of the pedals, steering wheel, and seats.
Arrange to meet in a neutral location, verify the documents for both vehicles, and prepare a written agreement.
The agreement should include both parties’ details, vehicle details, the agreed price, and the date of sale.
Visit the relevant vehicle registration authority with the sale agreement, identification documents, and the vehicle registration certificate.
Complete the technical inspection, insurance, ownership transfer tax requirements, and registration with the relevant authority.
Mandatory liability insurance is the legal minimum. Comprehensive insurance can also cover damage to your own vehicle.
Watch out for fake photos, altered mileage, and hidden defects. Always verify the vehicle identification number (VIN).
