All about buying and selling cars

Is it possible to register a car if it is taken from there, and how to do it? How to deregister a car: the required package of documents The previous owner deregistered the car.

When purchasing a car, the buyer may not always know that the previous owner took the car off the register. The grounds for withdrawal are alienation, disposal and others. The new owner has the opportunity to restore the registration of the car at the traffic police department, for this you will need to submit certain documentation. According to the law, the purchase must be registered within 10 days after the conclusion of the relevant agreement. If the specified period is missed by the car owner, then sanctions are applied to it. Liability is provided for in the administrative legislation of Russia.

Why can a vehicle be deregistered?

In most cases, the reason for the removal of the car from the register is the fact that the new owner did not re-register the documentation in his name. According to the law, the buyer must re-register the car within ten days after purchasing the car. When no registration actions are taken within the specified period of time, the seller has the right to remove the car from the register. In this case, the actions of the former owner are completely legal. The seller removes the car from the register so that he does not receive taxes, fines and other payments related to the car and does not accrue interest on them.

Before buying, you can check whether the car has been taken off the register or not at the traffic police department or on the official website of the department. When the appeal takes place in person, you need to go to the traffic police where the car was registered. If the car is taken off the register, the reason for this action (disposal, theft, export outside the country, etc.) will be immediately indicated. The person who bought a car that has been deregistered can put it back on the register. This procedure is not complicated. You will need to take with you:

  • Vehicle passport;
  • A formalized auto insurance policy;
  • Registration certificate;
  • Purchase and sale agreement.

You need to contact the nearest department of the MREO traffic police. It is also possible to use the State Services service. In this case, the applicant does not need to wait in line, since the registration request is processed online. It will be necessary to appear at the chosen time at the indicated department of the MREO and submit the originals of the documents. When the sales contract is lost, the buyer will need to find a seller and draw up a new one. Otherwise, it will not be possible to confirm the ownership of the car. Also, to re-register a car, you need to provide a car for inspection and verification of identification numbers.

Registration of a recycled car

Until recently, it was almost impossible to restore the registration for a scrapped vehicle. The owner could defend his rights by going through several courts, including the Supreme Court. In the Order No. 1001 "On the procedure for registering vehicles", adopted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, amendments were made, in accordance with which the restoration of registration is allowed if the car was not actually handed over for scrap and was not destroyed.

You will need to visit the MREO where the car was last registered. This is due to the fact that it is there that the data about him is stored. The person who took the car off the register should apply. It will not be possible to restore the documentation regarding the car that participated in the recycling program carried out by the state, since the owner was paid a fee. The applicant must have with him:

  • A document through which his identity is verified;
  • Vehicle passport;
  • CTP policy;
  • Documentation issued after disposal at the traffic police.

The MREO employee will have to inspect the car and make sure that it is on the move. In any case, the restoration of registration documents is required to pay a state fee. Its size is established by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and depends on the number of services that are required to be obtained from the traffic police. So, for the issuance of a registration certificate, you will have to pay 500 rubles, for making changes to the TCP - 350 rubles (800 rubles when issuing a new document). If new registration marks are needed for the car, then another 2000 rubles will have to be paid.

Despite the fact that the press service of the traffic police actively informs car owners through various media for any reason, the moment of how to remove a car from the register in 2019 remains unclear, and drivers have a lot of questions. Let's try to figure out the most common ones.

But first, let me remind you that since October 15, 2013 it is necessary to deregister a vehicle only in four cases:

  1. A vehicle theft case. In such a situation, the driver applies to the traffic police with an application for deregistration.
  2. In case of disposal. In order to stop calculating taxes on your vehicle, you need to deregister the car.
  3. In case of sale abroad. Remove the car from the register if you are planning to sell it to another country.
  4. If the new owner of the vehicle has not registered it within 10 days, then the former owner has the right to remove the car from the register by contacting the traffic police. But it is undesirable to do so, because a car taken off the register will be impossible to register (this is cruel). In such cases, you just need to write an application to terminate registration!

In all other cases, this operation will be called a change in registration data.

Well, now let's move on to the answers to questions that still worry car owners.

The car is not on the move: how to deregister?

Many car owners, during its sale, think about how to deregister a car if it is not on the move. My answer is that in such a situation, deregistration is impossible! If you are going to sell your car not on the move, for example, for parts, then the buyer deals with the problems associated with accounting.

In such cases, you must write in 3 copies, leave your signature in the TCP with the date of sale. And that's it! Further, the buyer of the car is engaged in its registration for himself.

After 10 days, you can check the registration of the sold car for the buyer in the traffic police. If the sold car has not been re-registered yet, then with a clear conscience you can apply to terminate the registration. This will help keep yourself out of trouble.

How to deregister a car correctly if there is no car and documents?

Not every driver knows how to remove a car from the register without a car and without documents. In this case, you can use only one option: write a statement directly to the local head of the traffic police to deregister the car due to its disposal.

This is a fairly simple procedure that will not take you much time. At the same time, do not miss one nuance: your application must be written in two copies.

Option to remove a car from the register in another city

First, let's see if it is possible to remove a car from the register in another city? Can. And in 2019, the actions that need to be taken in this matter are reduced to a minimum by law.

Deregistration does not in any way depend on the region of registration of the vehicle, it also does not depend on the location of the car within the Russian Federation, and certainly has nothing to do with the place of registration of the car owner.

Principles of car deregistration during recycling

Each machine has its own service life and operation. After the expiration of this period, an idea may visit you, but how to remove the car from the register for disposal?

Here is a list of situations in which she may undergo this process:

  • further operation of the car is impossible, since it cannot be repaired;
  • in case of complete disrepair of your vehicle, and you do not want to sell it for units and separate numbered units.

In case the car has become unusable, you need to come to the traffic police, you do not need to provide the vehicle. You should have the following list of documents with you:

  • passport;
  • TCP (if any);
  • registration certificate (if any);
  • registration plates (numbers, if any);
  • if necessary - a power of attorney.

As you can see, it is possible to write off a car for scrap without documents for it, it is enough to show your passport and write a statement.

You can download:

  • car recycling application form -;
  • form of the act (certificate) on the disposal of the machine -.

In case of loss of the recycling certificate (sometimes it happens), you can get a duplicate in the traffic police.

If you are interested in the question of how to deregister an emergency vehicle, then the procedure for paperwork is identical.

The owner is not exempt from removing the car from the register, even if his damaged car cannot be restored. In any case, a recycling process is ahead.

For reference. The scrappage fee applies only to vehicles imported or rolled off the assembly line after August 1, 2012.

Removing a car from the register after sale

It happens that the question arises of how to remove a car from the register after the sale. Since October 2013, this procedure has been simplified to primitive actions. The seller doesn't have to worry about anything else - he sells his own vehicle without removing it from the register. And the buyer goes to any traffic police and there in his own name.

But if he (the buyer) does not do it within 10 days (if such cunning), then you have the right to write a statement to the MREO traffic police to terminate the registration.

Deregistration rules in another region

According to the legislation, you can remove a car from the register from October 15, 2013 in any traffic police without worrying about the location of the car.

I also hasten to note that, according to the laws in force in 2019, the state number of the vehicle now belongs exclusively to one car and when the owner changes, it is assigned to the car. True, if desired, it is possible to save old numbers for the vehicle seller, more about this:.

*********************

I can remind you that earlier in the process of buying and selling a vehicle, the seller had to remove the car from the register and hand over the state numbers to the inspection. After the transaction, the buyer had to at the place of his registration and wait for the receipt of new registration marks. Fortunately - this is already in the past!

*********************

Another nice feature about the new laws is the ability to duplicate numbers. This applies in case of loss or theft of state signs. This procedure will greatly simplify the life of ordinary car owners. And for some it can become a business, because next to the traffic police departments, there are more and more companies ready to help in changing the number every day.

Since April 2011, changes have been made to the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia 1001, which regulates the procedure for registering AMTS. In particular, a new technological operation has been introduced -. This deregistration is carried out when the car is not at the owner's disposal, and it is not possible to deregister it in the usual way, since this would require a reconciliation of the aggregates.

In particular, it is possible to terminate the registration of a car in the case when the car was sold without deregistration, and was not re-registered to the new owner within a month.

When carrying out this technological operation, the traffic police does not put on the wanted list for the car. The registration certificate and the license plate of the car are put on the wanted list. Thus, if the buyer nevertheless decides to put the car on record, he will be able to do this without hindrance, however, he will have to replace the license plate, respectively, having paid the state duty of 2850 rubles for issuing a new license plate. On the other hand, if such a “discontinued” car is stopped by a traffic police inspector and hits the vehicle registration database, this may even serve as a basis for evacuating the car, because car operation is prohibited.

How to restore a car after registration termination?

It is often not required to carry out separate restoration on the account. For example, you bought a car under a sale and purchase agreement and could not register it in your name on time. A month later, the previous owner turned to the traffic police, found out that the car was registered, and stopped registration. As a result, a traffic policeman slows you down at the checkpoint and reports the good news that the car is no longer registered and cannot be operated. You rush to the REO of the traffic police to re-register the car for yourself. In this case, the restoration of the car to the account of the old owner is not required, after the termination of registration, re-registration is made to the new owner. The cost of this operation, if the license plate number of the car remains - 850 rubles, if it changes - 2850 rubles.

And so - while it is not registered, then the previous owner is registered in the traffic police. Now only the court, and, apparently, the outbid should be sued - during his possession the car was removed from the register. And this is also not a correct conclusion. The former owner did not throw anyone and did not write any statements about the loss of the TCP. He used his right to “terminate the registration” after the sale of the vehicle and presented his copy of the DCT with outbid. The car was removed from the register, and at the same time information about the new owner appeared - the outbid. And when the author of the topic approached them with registration and showed them the DCT, allegedly signed by the "owner" - the curve scheme became obvious. The DKT, signed by the outbid, has clearly shown its "fake" nature. Pereku achieved his goal and made money on the sale. But the author of the topic in this situation turned out to be "not real". I will add that the outbid could spontaneously and not register the car in his name.

We bought a car from a reseller. We have drawn up a Purchase and Sale Agreement, in which the reseller signed for the previous owner.

We went to register the car, but we were refused. The car was removed from the register a month ago. The previous owner removed it from the register 10 days after the sale, and the reseller did not register it.

A significant difference from the situation from the topic is the record of the "outbid" in the TCP.

It was just not necessary to "cut" and save space in the TCP.

I bought a car and it was removed from the register what to do

Communities ›DRIVE2 Krasnodar› Forum ›Registration of a car, removed from the register by the former owner.

Hello everyone. There was a question about registering an auto. The situation is this: Two people entered into a contract for the purchase and sale of a car. The car insurance was fresh and therefore we decided to draw up a second copy of the contract without specifying the signing date. That would be in the next time, after the end of the insurance, re-register the car.

Safely forgetting about insurance, we decided to fill out a blank copy of the contract signed by another person with a new date. We made insurance on the basis of a new contract and went to the traffic police. There, as a result, it turned out that the former owner removed the car from the register a month ago on the basis of the first contract (filled out upon the sale)

In general, they refused to register the car, they asked for the presence of the seller. inspection passed, there is insurance. Inspection in the traffic police for wine numbers, etc. also passed. Stuck on the next step.

A certificate from the traffic police and your copy of the DKP TS - these documents should be enough to remove your responsibility. In any case, they do not have the right to collect anything from you - the person who caused the harm is responsible!

What happens if you drive an unregistered car

The car has been removed from the register, can I drive it? In 2013, changes were made that oblige to register the purchased car in the name of the new owner, non-compliance with which entails the imposition of penalties.

If the car is removed from the register, can it be driven?

Situations when you have to drive a car that has been removed from the register arise most often when selling a car.

Free legal advice:


Until 2013, a mandatory condition for the sale of a vehicle was deregistration, and without this it was impossible to sell the car. Since 2013, the procedure for selling a car has changed somewhat, and this is no longer a necessity. These rules also allow the former owner to cancel the registration of the car after 10 days. In what cases this is possible will be discussed below.

In accordance with the administrative regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 1001 of November 24, 2008, the purchaser is obliged to register a car in his own name, who must immediately begin these actions within 10 days after purchasing the vehicle.

The new regulation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 605 of August 7, 2013 determined the rules in the design of the vehicle. According to this document, the previous registration of the car after the purchase and sale transaction is canceled automatically when the purchaser registers the car in his own name. Therefore, it is not necessary to deregister the car before the transaction with the traffic police.

Even with a strong desire, the seller will not be able to do this, since the new rules define only 5 cases of termination of registration:

  1. loss of a car;
  2. theft of a vehicle;
  3. the end of the limited period of registration;
  4. the seller's statement after ten days after the purchase and sale transaction;
  5. termination of the lease agreement.

Thus, the former owner does not have the right to terminate the registration for the sake of selling the car. This is possible only after ten days from the date of sale, and only if the purchaser has not yet registered the car in his name. This cannot be done earlier.

Accordingly, the answer to the question: "Is the car removed from the register can I drive it?" Sounds like this. If the previous owner nevertheless canceled the registration of the car, then the buyer has no right to use it until he issues it in his own name.

How do you drive an unregistered vehicle?

Many drivers ask themselves the question: "Is it possible to drive a car that has been removed from the register?", And practice shows that motorists find tricks and continue to ride such a vehicle.

If the car is removed from the register, how to drive it?

There are several ways to drive an unregistered car:

  1. Drivers of such a car diligently bypass all traffic police posts in order to avoid checks and fines, however, this method is practically ineffective, since under the conditions of the modern system of checks on the roads, this cannot be done, sooner or later such a violator will fall into the field of view of the traffic police officers, and will be attracted to responsibility.
  2. Another method is more effective, but at the same time very laborious, and requires more attention. Motorists continue to drive on an unregistered vehicle, re-signing the purchase and sale agreement every few days, or they do not put a date there at all, indicating it only at the time of inspection by law enforcement agencies.

Both methods are illegal and naturally entail punishment. All these tricks do not give any guarantees that the car will not be stopped by the road patrol, and the offender will still have to register the car.

How to register a car?

Very often situations arise when a person buys a car, but the former owner removes the vehicle from registration. This can happen if the buyer has not fully paid for the object of the purchase and sale agreement, or has overdue the time for registering the car for himself. The law defines a 10-day period during which the purchaser is obliged to do this, and the seller's action is quite understandable. If the buyer does not register the car in his own name, then all fines and taxes will continue to come to the name of the former owner, which is unprofitable for him.

Free legal advice:


In cases with a bona fide purchaser, the problem can be solved by re-registering in the name of the new owner. The procedure for a new registration is not complicated, and it happens in the same way as the registration of any other vehicle.

To do this, you need to contact the appropriate registration authority with the documents:

  1. car passport;
  2. machine registration certificate;
  3. a prearranged document on car insurance and driver's liability;
  4. a document on a completed car purchase transaction.

It is important to note that the vehicle sales contract is the most important document. In case of its loss, the buyer will need to look for the former owner to sign a new contract. Otherwise, the bona fide purchaser will not be able to confirm the fact of the transaction.

What happens if you drive a car that has been removed from the register?

According to the new rules, the buyer is obliged to register the purchased vehicle within ten days from the date of purchase. If the car is removed from the register, can it be driven? Yes, during this time the new owner can operate the specified vehicle without having a state number, without fear of being held liable.

However, very often buyers, for various reasons, cannot register a car in the allotted time. Some drivers do it on purpose, someone cannot pass a technical inspection, and someone simply does not have time due to the long queue at the registration authority.

Free legal advice:


So, for driving on unregistered transport, the following penalties are provided:

  1. Driving a car without registration can be fined in the amount of 500 to 800 rubles. However, you need to know this size is assumed at the first stop. A repeated violation threatens to increase the fine to rubles or possibly confiscate a driver's license with a ban on driving. In general, this sanction is applied only when an unreported car is stopped during a road check by law enforcement officers. If such a car is taken by a tow truck, then the specified fine is not imposed.
  2. For violation of the 10-day period allotted for registration, if such is required, a fine is also imposed in the amount of minibbles for citizens, for a person on duty - minibuses, for organizing minibuses. It is important to know here that the fine is automatically imposed on the person who applied with the documents to the registration authority for the registration of the car, but did not manage to do it in due time. Moreover, a fine is imposed even if the car is taken by a tow truck.

Thus, it is not worth delaying the registration of the purchased car, and register it in the near future.

The time during which they can be brought to administrative responsibility for these violations is determined by two months.

According to the ruling of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of 20.02.2015 N 31-AD15-4, non-observance of the registration period is not considered to be continuing, respectively, this rule can also be applied in relation to the specified offense.

The violating driver will be prosecuted by imposing penalties only in the situation when he will register the vehicle after the prescribed ten days, and earlier than two months and ten days from the date of the conclusion of the sales contract.

Free legal advice:


Thus, after 2 months and 11 days, it is no longer possible to impose a fine, and the driver just needs to wait out this time.

How to deregister a sold car after 10 days and restore the registration?

It was noted above that it is the buyer's responsibility to register a car after purchase, who must do this within 10 days. But still, practice shows many examples when the new owner for some reason does not do this, and then operates the vehicle according to the documents of the previous owner.

In such a situation, all penalties and taxes will naturally be directed to the former owner, since the state does not know about the change of owner. Of course, this is not profitable for the seller, and he can contact the traffic police department, which issued a fine, with documents confirming the sale of a movable object (sale or donation agreement).

To prevent such troubles, the seller is advised to keep his copy of the transaction document, and copy the passport data of the car with the date of sale, signed by the new owner.

If the buyer grossly violates the vehicle registration rules, the previous owner can protect himself from unnecessary fines by using the right to cancel registration actions with respect to the transferred car. There is a certain sequence of actions to terminate the registration of the vehicle, if everything is done in order and correctly, then the process itself will not take much time and effort.

Free legal advice:


To cancel registration actions for a sold vehicle, the previous owner must perform the following actions:

  1. Make an appointment with the traffic police registration department at a convenient time for him. This can be done directly in the department itself, using the terminal, or register online through the traffic police website or public services;
  2. Collect the necessary documents, this is a mandatory application for the cancellation of registration actions and documents on the transaction (purchase and sale, or a copy of the vehicle's passport data);
  3. Fill in the application data. This can be done at the reception itself, but in order to save time, it is possible to fill in in advance. To do this, you need to download and print the required form with the application data on the traffic police website. Next, indicate to which registration department the appeal is sent, your full name, and most importantly: the reason for the termination of registration actions. It is also necessary to indicate the vehicle data and the new owner of the vehicle.
  4. Arrive at the registration office at the specified time. Then it is necessary to present the required documents, and if everything is correctly drawn up and presented, the car will be removed from the register. Payment of state fees is not required. Just before that, it is imperative to make sure that the buyer has not issued the specified transport in his name.

The procedure is not complicated, you need to carefully consider the preparation and collection of documents, after which the car ceases to be registered.

You can restore registration actions in relation to unregistered transport in the same manner. After the new registration of the car, the owner is issued with registration documents, with which he can safely operate the purchased car, since now the provisions of the law are not violated.

If the registration of a car was terminated due to scrapping, then in accordance with the new rules, it is easier to register a car again now than before. Until that time, it was not possible to do this, in rare exceptions through lengthy litigation. According to the above-mentioned order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 1001, it is possible to register vehicles registered for utilization, if in fact this did not happen and the car was not destroyed.

The purchased car is removed from the register: what to do?

In the fall of 2013, the Administrative Regulations came into force in our country, which included some changes related to the re-registration of vehicles upon sale. It's 2018, but people still don't know what to do if the car is taken off the register and is sold in the car market or a bulletin board? Why are the previous owners removing the car from the register and is it not dangerous to buy such vehicles?

Free legal advice:


In 2018, every motorist has the right to register cars at any traffic police department. In addition, transit numbers no longer exist, and they are issued only to citizens of the country who leave Russia, for example, for permanent residence. If you are looking for a used car in the secondary market, you must have come across vehicles that are already deregistered.

The subtleties of buying unregistered cars

Car registration process

Experts point out that these days it is much safer to buy a car if the former owner took it off the register. Such vehicles are legally clean. The term "legal purity" assumes that the documents for the car are in perfect order, and the VIN code is original and you will not have any problems.

In addition, if a car is removed from the register, it is not wanted due to theft or for other reasons. Otherwise, the traffic police would simply refuse the owner of the procedure. But even when buying a car that has been taken off the register, you need to be vigilant, because there are certain criminal schemes.

The only problem that you can face if you bought a car from the register is the possibility of finding it as a pledge at the bank. It is not easy to check and calculate this fact, since there is no common base, and loans are issued in different regions. If you suspect something, you can agree with the seller about the transfer of money only after the vehicle is registered, that is, after registering yourself and receiving license plates.

Free legal advice:


How are such transactions formalized?

Today, the purchase and sale of a vehicle that has already been deregistered is made out in one of two ways. The most common option is through a commission company (stall, car dealership, etc.), which provide services for the execution of contracts for the sale of cars.

In this case, a purchase and sale agreement will be drawn up for the new car owner, but this requires passports of both parties to the transaction, a copy of the seller's passport and a registration certificate. In this organization, you can also pay the seller, that is, the transaction will go through cleanly - this is sometimes important. After the contract is drawn up for the buyer, he will become the owner of the car. It is advisable to take a receipt from the seller, which will confirm the transfer of funds.

With a contract and a registration certificate, you need to go to an insurance company to draw up an OSAGO policy for yourself. Also, within ten days after the conclusion of the contract, it is necessary to register the car. Otherwise, you will have to pay a fine. It is relatively small - from 300 to 800 rubles, but still unpleasant.

If you want to save money on car registration, you can draw up a contract yourself - you can read about this at the end of this material. We also recommend that you figure out how in 2018 they are fined for a traffic sign.

Why sell cars that have been removed from the register?

Transfer of money and keys

You may be wary of why the former owner took the car off the register and what does this threaten you if you decide to buy it? For example, you must be sure of the possibility of registering a car by registering with the traffic police of Russia. If the car is no longer registered and without numbers, you will have to go through the process of restoring the registration, but can you do this by buying a car on the secondary market?

As it was said, since 2013, Russians have the opportunity to resell cars without deregistration, as this happens automatically when the vehicle is reissued by the new owner.

It is no longer possible to stop registering a car before the sale by alienation (property rights are transferred to another person). The former owner has the right to remove the car from the traffic police register only ten days after drawing up the purchase and sale agreement, if the buyer does not register the cars for this allotted period.

In 2018, it is a little more difficult to sell a car that has been removed from the register than an already registered vehicle. The fact is that in addition to the risks associated with the bad history of the car, the buyer will not have confidence in the possibility of restoring the registration under the new rules without involving the previous owner.

Buying a car that is not registered should make you wonder why the owner removed the license plates from his car? There may be several reasons, but the most common are the following:

  • Disposal of the vehicle.
  • Removal of the car outside the country.

If the vehicle has not been disposed of in time, you can legally put it on record again. Thus, you should not be afraid to buy a removed car from the register. In addition, you can restore the registration under the sales contract on your own, without contacting the previous owner.

Regardless of the fact that the new car owner will not have problems with the registration of the purchased vehicle taken off the register, in order to avoid troubles it is better to play it safe. You can ask the seller to register the car or agree on the transfer of funds only after you yourself register the vehicle for yourself. In this case, you will get complete confidence that problems will not arise.

Rules for registration of a car deregistered

If the car is taken off the register, you will need the following to register it "on the license plate" in the traffic police:

  • sales contract or other similar document;
  • technical certificate;
  • medical examination certificate;
  • some amount of money.

First of all, you need to undergo a technical inspection in order to receive a coupon about the health of the car. At the service station, you will need to present a sales contract or other document confirming your rights to own a vehicle. When you pass the inspection, go to the traffic police department, taking all the documents and the contract. You will probably need a certificate of medical examination. To pass it, you need a certificate from an ophthalmologist, an ENT specialist and a narcologist. When you have passed all the doctors, get an official certificate allowing you to drive a vehicle on the roads of Russia.

Go with a certificate of a medical examination at the traffic police, taking other documents. You need to explain that you bought a car that has been deregistered and you want to re-register it. The main thing is to prove that this was not done in order to avoid paying taxes. Otherwise, you will have to pay 9% of the cost of the car - the deductions will go to the pension fund.

It is better not to leave for several days, since the data on the registration of the car in the database may not get immediately, and there will be problems with the traffic police on the road in case of a stop.

And keep in mind that after you bought a car that was taken off the register, it will be equated to spare parts and you cannot operate it. Therefore, you need to take the car for maintenance on a tow truck. And be sure to make sure that there are no unpaid fines before buying a car that has been taken off the register.

How to draw up a sales contract?

Why the car was removed from the register and what to do if you bought such a car, we found out. Finally, let's figure out how to draw up and fill out a sales contract on our own, thereby saving a certain amount of money? This method of saving is suitable for people who know how to work with documents and do it carefully. First of all, you will need a suitable sales contract form in triplicate, which must be filled out carefully. all information must be filled in without errors, blots and corrections, and at the bottom there must be the signature of the previous owner of the car (coinciding with the signature from the data sheet). If you buy a car that has been taken off the register, compare the signature from the DCT with the signature on the seller's passport and preferably make a copy for yourself.

After completing the contract (how to do this in detail, see a separate article on the website), you can safely pay with the seller. Also ask to make a receipt for the receipt of funds and no complaints. After that, take the keys and go to the inspection and to the insurance company. After that, it will be possible to register the car at the nearest traffic police department.
