A car in the modern world, where everyone is in a hurry somewhere, has long ceased to be a luxury - this is just a means of transportation. Many people prefer to buy cars from their hands, rather than from the passenger compartment. So much cheaper. After the new rules began to apply in April 2011, making a car purchase on hand became much easier. According to these rules, the responsibility for paperwork when buying a used car is completely transferred to the buyer. In this case, the seller can only get the money and give the keys. How to properly arrange a car with hands, so that later there would be no problems, this article will be discussed.
Where to buy a used car
It is clear that a used car already once had a previous owner and a certain mileage. You can buy it not only from the owner, but also from resellers, as well as at car dealerships that sell such cars. The procedure for buying a used car at a car dealership will be slightly different from the design of a new one. The most problematic option for purchasing a used car is considered to be at the resellers. Now about this a little more.
Hand buying procedure
This purchase option is perhaps the most reliable. And provided that the seller is your friend, there should not be any problems at all. Typically, the seller informs the buyer about the weaknesses of his vehicle and the price is quite reasonable. In addition, the contract of sale, according to the new rules that have entered into force, can not be certified by a notary and do not remove the car from the register.
How to make a purchase of a used car? The procedure is outlined below:
- Download the contract of sale is now possible from the Internet. Further, in duplicate, it must be printed.
- These forms are filled out on a computer or by hand - it does not matter. When filling out all the necessary columns you need to carefully fill out. All information regarding the seller, buyer, and also the vehicle (TS) is entered into the contract. The engine number must be verified with the data from the TCP.
- Then this contract is signed by the seller and the buyer. The seller receives the money and the transaction is considered completed.
- It is advisable that the seller and buyer of the vehicle exchange contact details (phones). This is necessary so that the former owner can control the re-registration of the vehicle to the new owner. What is this for, we will tell a little below.
Actually, the seller’s mission ends there and he can safely go about his business. And the new owner still needs to go through the registration procedure for the purchased car in the traffic police department.
How to apply for a used used vehicle
After the TS has a new owner, he needs to proceed with the contract of sale, PTS and his passport to the MREO branch. Car registration is made there. When buying a car, the traffic police passes the renewal of the certificate of registration of the vehicle to the new owner. But before that it is necessary to take out insurance on the vehicle. If the vehicle being sold is not deregistered, then when deciding how to register a used car purchase, usually there are no difficulties.
Why buyer's contact details
Perhaps the buyer will not be quite a decent person. If he does not make the registration of a car purchase hand-to-hand, then all fines and vehicle tax for this vehicle will come to the old owner.And if an accident will be committed on this car and there will be victims, then the former owner may well be brought to criminal liability. And the court will have to prove their innocence. It takes a lot of time and effort.
In order to avoid such troubles, the former owner, for his own peace of mind, can control the renewal of the vehicle. For this, we need the contact details of the current owner of the car. Of course, the tax authorities should notify the former owner of the re-registration of his car to another owner, but, unfortunately, this does not always happen.
What to do if the new owner is in no hurry to process the purchased vehicle
There are situations when a car is already sold, and taxes on it continue to come to the previous owner. What to do in this case?
If the new owner of the car after 30 days has not issued the vehicle for himself and it is impossible to contact him, then the previous owner has the right to submit an application to the traffic police department with a request to terminate the registration of the vehicle. The statement indicates the reason - the whereabouts of the vehicle is unknown. To do this, it is enough to present a passport that confirms that you still own the car. The vehicle purchaser will then be able to independently restore the registration.
But you can do something else. By presenting your passport and confirming that you are the owner of the car, you can remove it from the register. In this case, the acquirer will not be able to restore the registration, because This procedure is carried out only unilaterally, and the vehicle is decommissioned.
Do I need a notary
If people who make a transaction on the purchase and sale of vehicles are well acquainted, then it can not be certified by a notary. Otherwise, it is better to notarize the transaction. This will protect the seller from fines and taxes if the buyer does not renew the vehicle. A contract certified by a notary will cost only about 1000 rubles, and more and more people prefer to draw it up in order to avoid unpleasant consequences in the future.
We buy a car deregistered
If the seller and the buyer of the vehicle are strangers, it will be most reliable to make a purchase of a car with deregistration. To do this, anyone who wants to sell his car can contact the traffic police with a request to remove the vehicle from the register. To do this, you will need:
- Passport.
- Certificate of registration of the vehicle.
- Title
- The power of attorney, notarized, is needed if the procedure for deregistration of the vehicle is carried out not by the owner himself, but by his authorized representative.
The traffic police will check whether this car is listed as a carjack, check the engine number with the information specified in the TCP, and draw up the necessary documents. After the vehicle is deregistered, it can be put up for sale. The buyer of such a car will have no choice but to register it and register for itself. Thus, the former owner will sleep peacefully and not be afraid that fines and taxes on the sold car will come to him.
Buy a used car. Legal side
What actions are required to be made when buying a used car, deregistered? He must first issue an insurance policy on the purchased car, and then contact the MREO STSI and have the following documents with him:
- Passport.
- Driver's license.
- Contract of sale.
- Title
- The CTP policy, it must be purchased within 10 days from the date of purchase of the vehicle.
- Transit numbers (if present).
- State duty payment receipt.
- Application for registration of the vehicle. On it, the traffic police officer, who was inspecting the car, must put an appropriate mark.
- Cargo customs declaration or its copy (if the car was exported from abroad).
- A power of attorney certified by a notary is needed if the vehicle records the trustee of the owner.
After the inspector of the traffic police checks all the documents and checks the engine numbers with the information contained in the TCP, the new owner of the car will be given state registration marks and vehicle registration certificate. The new owner must register the car for himself within 10 days from the date of registration of the contract of sale, i.e. during this time, you need to have time to pass the inspection, if there is no diagnostic card or it is expired, buy a CTP policy and put the vehicle on the traffic police register.
After all these formalities, the purchase can be considered completed, and any complaints and fines from the traffic police will not threaten the buyer.
Why do I need transit numbers?
If the car is deregistered and the seller is sure that within five days he will be able to sell the vehicle, then transit numbers can not be received. Now, according to the law, such a period can be used to drive a car without registration number plates.
To the buyer, if he plans to drive the purchased vehicle to another region and register the car there, it is better to get transit numbers. They are valid for 20 days, they cannot be extended. But if during this time the buyer did not manage to complete the purchase of the car with his hands, he will need to get new transit numbers and pay the state fee again.
Do I need to change old license plates to new ones
When selling a car, the previous owner can leave the license plates at home and subsequently install them on a brand new vehicle. To do this, an application is written to the traffic police department with a request to leave the registration number plates. This is possible provided that the rooms are in good condition, i.e. the numbers and letters on them are well read, do not have scuffs, there are no chips and deformations, and there are only regular holes and there are no additional ones.
The buyer can also leave the old numbers on the same conditions. An additional condition is the registration of both parties (buyer and seller) in one region. The state duty for license plates will still have to be paid.
Should alert duplicate TCP
What you need to know when buying a car with it? Let's talk about a duplicate TCP - the main document of the TS. From this document you can find out all the information of the purchased car, including information about its previous owners. But when selling a used car, both the original TCP and its duplicate can be provided. Everything is clear with the original; the whole history of the car is well traced through it. But what about the duplicate?
If a duplicate is provided, should this alert the car buyer? On the one hand, that's okay. After all, the original may be worn out or be lost, then a duplicate of the TCP will be issued to its vehicle owner. On the other hand, it may well be provided to the buyer by fraudsters. They draw up a duplicate PTS for a car that is stolen or pledged by a bank, supposedly in exchange for a lost one. In fact, the car does not belong to them at all, and if this vehicle is subsequently sold, the buyer will be the affected party.
If the car is pledged to a bank, then the real owner (bank) may well demand the return of his property through the court. In this case, the deceived buyer will lose the purchased vehicle and the money will not be returned to him.
Thus, in order to protect yourself from such troubles, it is better to check the car you are buying before the transaction against the base of the vehicles pledged and stolen. You can ask the seller for a photocopy of the previous TCP, bona fide car owners usually keep them. Marking on a duplicate title "in return for the lost" should especially alert.
Making a car purchase with your hands will go smoothly, only if all your questions have been removed and the documents presented to the car are not suspicious. Be careful, because you give away your money, and if the seller turns out to be a scammer, it is often very difficult and not always possible to return your money.
