What are the precautions for vehicle transfer?
2 Answers
Precautions for vehicle transfer are as follows: 1. Be sure to check the original vehicle's purchase tax receipt. Some vehicles may not have paid purchase tax before, and after transfer, these unpaid or tax-exempt vehicles will be required to pay the purchase tax. 2. Insurance transfer should be completed in time to avoid unnecessary trouble during claims. 3. Mortgaged vehicles and vehicles under supervision are prohibited from being traded. Vehicle information can be checked through the vehicle management office. 4. When purchasing a used car, relevant policies and regulations should be reviewed. Some vehicles are not allowed to be traded or transferred, and corresponding change procedures need to be completed after the used car transfer.
I just helped a friend with a car ownership transfer, which seems simple but involves many considerations. Having all documents prepared is the most crucial part. I always remind them to bring the original ID cards of both parties, the vehicle registration certificate (green book), the original driving license, and the insurance policy, along with several copies as backups. It's important to agree in advance on who will cover the transfer fees and transaction taxes to avoid disputes later. Make sure to check and clear any traffic violation records, as the DMV won't process the transfer if there are outstanding tickets—I once saw someone waste a trip due to a minor violation. Transparency about the vehicle's condition is also key, such as whether it has any accident history, as hiding such details can lead to disputes. It's advisable to inspect the car and confirm the VIN matches. Don’t forget to transfer the insurance and sign a contract to protect your rights. The whole process is tedious, but being meticulous can save a lot of trouble.
