Grundy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Only way I'd sell to a foreign country, is if they turn up to my house with the money. And take it away them self's. Afraid I can't help with the V5 query. would of thought they'd just need the little green slip, but may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pessa350 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Thanks for reply mate:) he said he will come down to me n collect it with cash or bank transfer , as long the the fund not clear I won't let my zed go lol!!!!

KyleR Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 It's true, he needs the whole thing. However you can keep the blue part, it's for exporting and send it off to the DVLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pessa350 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 I will try to call dvla tomorrow mate , but I don't really like the idea of giving him the whole log book, cos if he don't register the car in his country or got fine in uk, all the liability will come to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Until I have the money in my hand and counted, I would part with anything..!! suggest you will send him a copy if he wants to check out the car , If he wants to start export proceedings for the car..get your money first as he will need a receipt anyway to export it.

Have a look at your V5, I don't think there is a box to tick or anything if it's being sold abroad specifically, as apposed to you bringing it somewhere to stop you being liable for any fines incurred. DVLA should be able to help, though. We have to do the same thing here in NI if someone from the south of Ireland buys our car, never any problems.

Thanks for reply, did you write a letter too with the export section to tell DVLA that you are no longer the keeper with the new owner detail on or just sent out the export section thats it? thanks for all of you helping tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I just sent it off in an envelope Might be different if there actually was a problem like a speeding ticket for example, but unless that happens we can't cross that bridge… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pessa350 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 LOL just found this , hope it is helpful to someone else too http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/@motor/documents/digitalasset/dg_065264.pdf A quick look at DVLA says :- What to do if you are selling your vehicle privately to someone that does not have a GB address You should fill in sections 6 and 10 with the new keeper’s name and address. Both you and the new keeper (buyer) must sign and date the declaration in section 8. Give the whole V5C to the new keeper to aid registration abroad. You should then send a signed letter to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1AG giving the vehicle’s registration number, the make and model of the vehicle, the date of sale or transfer, and the name and address of the new keeper. Once we know about the change of keeper, you should receive an acknowledgement letter to confirm that you are no longer responsible for the vehicle. If you do not receive the letter within 4 weeks, please phone 0300 790 6802. If you are deaf or hard of hearing and have access to a textphone, phone 0300 123 1279 (this number will not respond to ordinary phones).

greg tl Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Let him take most of the logbook. Retain the blue permanent export part and at very least take a copy of his passport. He will have to have this on him. I sell cars to people in europe quite a lot. As long as you have your own correct paperwork in place. ie Receipt signed by both parties and dated. Passport/ID of the buyer. and you retain the blue part of V5 doc you will get no comebacks. Maybe as a precaution, take a picture of the new owner standing by the car as further evidence if you're that worried. Final precaution aswell, try and take cash, preferably sterling and go and pay it straight into the bank. If not possible buy yourself a note checking pen. Cheap to buy but very valuable in the long run. Don't be afraid. Good luck. Greg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 As others have said its all perfectly fine. My mate had similar concerns earlier in the year when he sold his car to a guy in France. Guy came over, paid cash, drove the car home and my mate had no problems. Atm because cars a miles cheaper in the UK than Europe, a lot of European people are buying from the UK and shipping back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pessa350 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hi all Thanks for reply, that guy won't let me to see his id or something that proof his address, so I won't sell it to him in this point lol hopefully got some uk buyer instead, thanks all again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
