Selling a used vehicle
Thinking of putting your vehicle up for sale? Here are the basic steps:
Gather the necessary documents
You must have:
- Your insurance and original vehicle registration. (Sorry, photocopies aren't accepted.)
Note: The insurance and registration are actually two parts of the same document (APV250). You need both parts. - A Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T). You can get this form from any Autoplan broker.
See sample Transfer/Tax Form (PDF)
Note: This is a sample only. To transfer a vehicle, you need a valid Transer/Tax Form from an Autoplan broker.
Prepare your vehicle for selling
Here are some tips for selling your vehicle that could help you sell it faster and get a better deal.

Temporary Operation Permit
