Selling a car in Pennsylvania 

Selling a car can be a consuming process. A lot of legal documentation needs to be filed and that too properly. Advertisment for the car needs to be placed in a local newspaper, the amount for what it has to be sold has to be decided, and a number of legal procedures and documentations need to be covered. Every state has its own procedure of title transference. It is important to have the vehicle documents of ownership issued by the vehicle manufacturers.

Selling a car in Pennsylvania is an easy task if you just follow the steps properly. Primarily, the buyer and the seller need to meet at an authorized dealer’s office or with an agent to ensure that the title application is completed correctly. Proof of ownership documents need to be present, which include vehicle ownership documents that provide specific vehicle information obtained by the manufacturer of the vehicle itself.  In the event of having financed your vehicle yourself in the past, a certificate of title will be held by your lienholder. In order to sell the vehicle you will have to get the original documents from your lienholder. The documents that you will require during the transference are; Manufacturer Certificate, Statement of Origin, Out of state certificate title, certificate of salvage or a court order. All these documents stated above serve as a sufficient proof of ownership documents. Any of these can be used while you transfer the vehicle ownership to the buyer. Furthermore, a series of identification testing ensues as the seller is required to sign and handprint their name on the proof of ownership documents. The signature is the further verified with the Pennsylvania title. When the transference is complete, the seller is required to take off the vehicle identification plates and return it to the PennDOT at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

It is very important to make sure that all legal documents are managed with care and all necessary information is provided. All information provided should also be authentic in all terms to aid the legal selling of the car in the state of Pennsylvania.
