When you're preparing to sell your vehicle, you need to do a couple of things before the actual sale. One of them is to collect certain documents required for the sale, whether you sell your vehicle privately or to a dealership.
We at Audi North Miami are happy to purchase vehicles from drivers in Miami, Miami Beach, Hollywood, and North Miami, Florida. We've also put together this page to let you know which documents you need to sell your vehicle. Take a look, and give us a call if you have any questions!
Car Title or Loan Information
One of the most important documents you need is your vehicle's car title. A vehicle's title is legal proof that you own the car you're selling. In order to sell your vehicle, you need to sign the title over to whoever is buying it. If more than one owner is on the title, all owners must sign to transfer over the title.
Still paying off your vehicle loan? No problem. This likely means the lender currently holds the title. You'll need your loan information to sell your vehicle to a dealership. Speak with the lender that currently holds the title to determine your loan payoff amount.
Service Records
Service records help in a few different ways. These records show you've taken great care of your vehicle by staying current with its maintenance, repairing it after any incidents, and that your car is working well.
When you sell your vehicle to a dealership, these records can help you get more value for your car. You can prove you've taken good care of it. Obviously, a vehicle in good shape is worth more. If you don't currently have these service records, speak to the team at your repair shop to obtain copies. Â
Vehicle History Report
A vehicle history report tells you all about your vehicle's past. This includes the number of previous owners, its mileage, and even any accidents your vehicle has been in. Essentially, anything significant in the life of your car will be part of this report. However, these reports don't cover its condition or level of wear.
You typically only need a vehicle's VIN (vehicle identification number) to access a vehicle history report online. Chances are, even if you have the report on hand, a dealership or buyer might look up the history report on their own. Having one tells important information about your vehicle and shows you know all about your ride.
You can obtain your vehicle's history report online from several sources. CARFAX® and AutoCheck® are the most common vehicle history report services.
