Lori Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Is there a website I can go to in order to find the value of a 2000Toyota Corolla. A neighbor has offered to buy it from us as heneeds a car. Before I entertain the idea, I would like to findout its value, more or less.Also, since I have never sold (or bought) a used vehicle in France, cananyone say if the procedure is straight forward? I have all thepaperwork on the car - carte grise, Controle Technique receipts,original purchase receipts, etc. I assume these would go with thecar if I sold it..Thanks for any replies and sorry if this has been covered before. I am off to pick cherries on my neighbor's farm and don't have the timeto search to see if this has been covered before. Will search itlater. Just thought someone might know right off the top oftheir head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opas Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Lori, you will need a form to fill in to say you have sold the car on, our buyier turned up with one fortunately. It is called a Certificat de cession d`un Vehicle( I presume this is available at the prefecture as their name and address are at the letter head) We also needed a document to say that the car didn`t have any money owing on it, we got this from our Maire, she downloaded it from the Gouvernment website, can`t remember its propper tittle but it was something like sans de gage. If you pop back at lunch and read this , I should make enquiries of your fellow pickers.Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jc Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 See what a local dealer would offer you for it and charge that or a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Yes, Opas, I did ask my neighbors while we were picking this morning.They said I go to the Mairie for the form you mentioned, complete theform, note and date the Carte de Grise with the date and hour of sale,sign it and have the buyer sign it. Send a letter to my insurancecompany with a copy of the forms noting the sale and the name of theindividual advising that insurance can stop on the vehicle. Sofar, no one else has mentioned noting that there is nothing owing onthe vehicle. I do have the bill of sale.I think that was all they said.Good idea, JC. My neighbors suggested the same thing. Thereis a Toyota dealer in Carpentras, I will give them a call or pop by sothey can see the vehicle.Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing the Vendors detail's etc. There are 3 copies, one for the Vendor one for the Buyer and one for the Prefecture. Plus a "Certificate de situation non gage" from the Vendor, showing that there are no charges on the car by the Judiciary, the Treasury or Bailiffs and details of the car, registration number make and type. (you can go online to the government website put in the registration numbers etc and get the non gage certificate immediately.)And if the vehicle is 4 years or older it will require a Controle technique (MOT) dated less than six months prior to the sale/re-registrationThe buyer must then re-register the car in his name within the next 15 days by submitting the following documents to the prefecture: Demand de certificate d’immatriculation (application form to register the car) The old Carte Grise Certificate de cession d’un automobile Certificate de situation non gage.

BQF Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 To find out its value use a magazine called 'L'Argus' - it is the French equivalent of 'Glass's Guide/Parkers'. You often see adverts with Prix: L'Argus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
