What are the proper procedure to selling a car?

Cristopher Gavalis: It looks like you have done you research and have realistically priced your car closer to trade-in value than retail value.To sell a car that has been in an accident it is essential that you are completely upfront about damage that can be seen and any potential unseen damage. To do that in a way that will make buyers feel most comfortable might be to have an inspection done ahead of time and on hand. http://www.inspectmyride.com is one of the companies who will come to your home or work and do just that.As for the paperwork once you have found your buyer: You will need to provide the title to the buyer and sign it over to them once they have paid you. They will need to provide proof of financial responsibility in order to register the car in their name so you may want to accompany them to the DMV to make sure that they do that or you will be liable for the car until it is properly registered by them. The NY DMV also likes to see a bill of sale which yo! u can print from here: http://www.dmv.org/bill-of-sale-form.php Good luck!...Show more

Paul Maymi: You need the title.

Inge Mclaurine: SELL IT "AS-IS".AS FOR THE PAPERWORK................ITS BEST IF YOU CONTACT YOUR LOCAL (DMV) DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES OFFICE, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY AND ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS AND AT THE SAME TIME YOU WILL BE GETTING THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION....Show more

Providencia Serpe: There are two things that need to be done: 1) You need to sign the back of the title - this will be clearly marked 2) The buyer needs a receipt. This is to prove the sale of the vehicle for when they go to the DMV for registration and a title in their own name. It can simply be a handwritten piece of paper stating the date, what was sold, how much it was sold for
