Selling a used car takes some work, but with your paperwork in order and a realistic price it goes smoothly. These are the keys to selling your car in Mijas, Fuengirola or the Costa del Sol and avoiding problems afterwards.<\/p>\n
Prepare the registration certificate, the technical data sheet with a valid ITV, your DNI or NIE and proof of payment of the latest road tax. If the car has charges, such as outstanding finance, you will have to cancel them in order to transfer it.<\/p>\n
A clean car with up-to-date maintenance and organised invoices sells better and faster. Before showing it, go over the basics: lights, tyres, fluid levels and warning lights. Buyers inspect cars closely, and our 10-point checklist<\/a> tells you what they will look at.<\/p>\n Compare it with similar cars for sale: same make, model, year, mileage and condition. A price that is too high drags out the sale and one that is too low loses you money. Take into account the real condition of the car and its maintenance.<\/p>\n Even if you know the buyer, always sign a contract with the details of both parties and of the vehicle, the price, the date and the place. Make a copy for each side. It is your proof of when and how the sale was made.<\/p>\n The buyer has 30 days from signing to process the ownership transfer. To protect yourself, you can file a notice of sale with the DGT and stop being listed as responsible for the vehicle. Check the steps with the DGT or ask a gestor for help.<\/p>\n Avoid payments you cannot verify. The safest is a bank transfer confirmed in your account before you hand over the car and keys. Be wary of cheques or payments that are confirmed later.<\/p>\n Notify your insurer of the sale to cancel or transfer the policy, and do not pay for insurance on a car that is no longer yours.<\/p>\n If you are thinking of selling yours to buy another, ask us what options there are at Autos Reina. You can also see the ownership transfer paperwork<\/a>, which is the same for selling as for buying.<\/p>\n At Autos Reina, at Camino Viejo de Co\u00edn, 28 (Mijas Costa), you will find second-hand cars<\/a> with a 1-year warranty and the chance to test drive them with no obligation.
