What are the procedures for selling a car?
2 Answers
Selling a car requires several procedures, including the vehicle license, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle invoice, the original ID card of the owner, the original ID card of the buyer and related certificates. Additionally, the vehicle must be present. For new cars, the original purchase invoice is issued by the 4S dealership, while for used cars, the used car transaction invoice is issued by the used car market. After preparing the documents, the vehicle can be inspected, and any traffic violations can be checked. Relevant information about vehicle purchase tax is as follows: 1. Introduction: Vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals purchasing specified vehicles within the country, evolving from the vehicle purchase surcharge. 2. Tax payment location: For taxable vehicles requiring registration, the tax should be declared and paid to the competent national tax authority in the vehicle registration location. For taxable vehicles not requiring registration, the tax should be declared and paid to the competent national tax authority in the taxpayer's location.
I just sold my old car, and the process was quite straightforward but required some attention to detail. First, prepare the necessary documents: you must bring your ID card, vehicle registration certificate (also known as the green book), driving license, and the original purchase invoice. If you can't find the invoice, some places may allow you to reapply for it. Then, make sure the car has no outstanding traffic violations or loans, otherwise, the transfer won't go through. Before selling, it's best to wash the car and take photos to post online—this can attract buyers. When going to the DMV for the transfer, both parties—the seller and the buyer—must be present to fill out the application form, undergo a vehicle inspection to check performance, and pay a small transfer fee (usually a few dozen yuan). The whole process typically takes half a day, but when I did it, the place was crowded, and I had to wait two hours. After the sale, don’t forget to update your insurance information to avoid future hassles. I recommend going on a weekday morning when it’s less crowded and easier to handle.
