Regulations selling vehicle privately

[les Favets]

Hi am about to sell my right hand drive 4x4 Frontiera.  When I have a buyer, what do I need to do to pass the vehicle into his or her ownership. ie; what ; pieces of paper do I need to fill in etc.

I take it that it is on French plates? If so then this is what I have done when selling cars :

You give the buyer the following.

The carte grise (log book) and write across the carte "Vendue le..." and date it, or "Cédée le..." followed by the date, and sign it underneath. I think you also cut off the corner of the carte ?

A certificat de situation of non opposition available at the sous prefecture (or prefecture)

A certificat de vente available at the  sous prefecture (or prefecture) Within 2 weeks you must send in the duplicate of the certificate de vente to the (sous prefecture or prefecture)

If the car is more than 4 years old you will need to give a CT (Controle Technique) which is no more than 6 months old.

There is nothing for the seller to pay to anyone

I hope this is clear but it has been a year or so, since I last sold a car and so selling regs may have changed a bit and I am afraid this is mainly from memory !

Assume you are cancelling the insurance so you need to give written notice of not less than two months to your french insurers that the vehicle will no longer be yours and is being sold or else you are still liable to pay the insurance out.

Thank you for the information which I have now recorded for future use when or if I am lucky enough to sell my vehicle and yes it is registered with French number plates.
