How many days does it take to free up the license plate quota after selling a car?
1 Answers
The license plate quota will be freed up in about 5 working days after selling the car. After the car is sold, the buyer needs to complete the transfer procedures. Once the buyer finishes the transfer process at the vehicle management office, there will be a 3 to 5-day archival period. After that, the vehicle management office will transmit the data to the passenger car quota office. Only then can the owner go to the passenger car quota office to obtain the updated quota. With the updated quota, the owner can then purchase a new car. Below are some considerations when selling a used car: Choose multiple selling methods: You can post sale information online, sell to dealers at a used car market, trade in at a 4S store, or participate in used car auctions, etc. This allows you to understand the various selling channels and compare prices to choose the best selling method. Prepare all vehicle transfer documents before selling: Incomplete documents may delay the best time to sell and cause financial losses. For example, it's best to apply for the vehicle registration certificate in advance, as the reapplication process usually takes a long time, increasing the chance of buyer hesitation. Therefore, owners should consider obtaining the registration certificate themselves before selling their car. Additionally, if the vehicle is being transferred to another region, ensure all transfer procedures are thoroughly completed, and confirm with the buyer whether they can complete the vehicle registration process locally. Finally, it's advisable to keep copies of the transaction invoice, new vehicle license, and the transfer section of the registration certificate for your records. Conduct a vehicle inspection before selling: For vehicles with fewer years of use and good performance, consider performing a basic performance inspection before selling. Providing an inspection report can reassure buyers and help fetch a better price.
