Dnk Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Could do with some advice please guys. Has anyone sold their car to an overseas buyer and if you have which part of the VC5 did you use. My situation is a little confused as the car is being exported but not personally by me and its being bought by a French importer on behalf of his client. I think i might be giving Jurgen a call if no one can help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdavies Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I sold my car last night to someone exporting, you give them the whole V5 and write to the DVLA and tell them you have sold it and believe they are exporting it then they send you a confimation letter. I believe you only sign section 8, which is the box at the bottom of the first inner page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Cheers Matt I just rang DVLA and the pre recorded message says what you said. You both sign & date section 8 and the new keeper fills out section 6 and you give the whole VC5 to the buyer. You write to DVLA Swansea giving the details of you and the car and when it was sold to the overseas buyer. Why can't they just have a section in the VC5 for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 They sort of do as there is an exporting car section, but i think it was primarily desgined for when you have bought the car and recieved the new V5 then plan to export Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 I was in the area of my local DVLA office so i popped in to confirm what to do with the VC5 when you sell to an overseas buyer. The chap there told me to remove the blue section, fill it in and send to DVLA, sign the green section and give the buyer the rest of the VC5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
