Rajinder Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) In the near future I will be selling my car to a chap in Romania and if the sale goes through the car will be going to Romania. This is a request for advice from all the members who have sold their Supra to European buyers, what to look out for any pitfalls and where my obligations ends. I know which sections to fill out on the V5. Any advice will be much appreciated. Cheers.

marbleapple Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I just made sure they paid me cash and I took a photo of the person and their alleged details. I also always get a small contract signed confirming that is being paid and for what. Oh and count the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Money in the bank, V5 filled in correctly, receipt clearly showing date and time of sale and strictly sold as seen. After that who cares what happens to the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 And tell the buyer that he must apply for a certificate of permanent export (V561) I did the same. Application for a certificate of permanent export Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajinder Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 On top of V561 it says you only fill this form if you do not have a V5C. I will be giving him V5C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebas Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 i have sold few cars and motorcycles to buyers from EU and the only thing they need was V5C and sale agreement with our addresses, car/motorcycle details, price and date of transaction. V561 is only if you don't have v5c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Slight issue though - the buyer is trying to insure temporarily to drive the car to Romania the car but neither of the registrations are coming up as valid! Have you transferred the private plate? Is it back on its old plate? Is he confused about what rhe reg is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajinder Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 All sorted. Old plate with V5c given. The silly man who made plates put wrong number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
