Georgina Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thinking of buying a new car in England as the price was the same in France with my car in exchange as to buy in england without an exchange. Can anyone tell me what UK dealers need for a french car other than signing the V5. Or any experiences of pitfalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 1. French reg cars don't have a V5 for the dealer to sign2. I traded in my RHD, French reg German car in Wales using exactly the same documents and procedure as if I had sold it here in France. Not sure what the dealer did with the CG, his copy of the Cert de Cession etc but that was not my prob. I used my copy of Cert to cancel insurance and sent Prefecture copy to Prefecture.SimplesJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Eddie bought a LHD french -reg. Laguna in England and brought it over here to drive. I wasn't there at the time, but I know he drove it back with no problems. The only thing he had to change was the dept. number on the carte gris. Insurance here went ok.ps not sure if this is what you were asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgina Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 I am just worried that when I get there they might change their mind, so am just querying what to expect, So I get them to sign the Carte Gris as the new owner and keep a portion of that?

Iceni Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 1. Search this forum for "selling a car in France", the paperwork is the same wherever you sell your French reg car2. Provided you can con(vince) the dealer into taking said car off your handsCut the dotted corner from your CG Diagional line through what is left and write "Vendu le (date + time) Ã (wherever you are) and sign - hand over to dealer You and dealer fill in and sign certificats de cession in 3 copies (1 for dealer, 1 for you to keep and 1 for you to send to your Prefecture) Hand over Certificat de non-gage The dealer will not have a clue how to proceed (probably) but that is not your problem3. Show cert de cession to your French insurer to cancel insurance4. Where to obtain French forms and anything I have forgotten will be covered by 1 aboveJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Why not sell to a specialist LHD dealer in the UK.I sold to The Lefthand Drive Place in Basingstoke and got a very fair price which was the same as offered over the 'phone (the car was exactly as I had described it).
