Post new topic

Maria00091

Hello everyone,

Thankyou for reading 😊 I am looking at buying a used car (from an individual)

So I am after some clarification on what I've already researched/learned....

What is the process of buying the car (after checking the car for faults ect, checking the vehicle on TM)
What is the protocol from there?
Do I book an appt with TM to register in my name?
Do I sign the paperwork in order to take the car to TM?

Any advice is appericated!
Thank you for your time
Maria and Darryl

Make sure there are no outstanding fines.
If you can I would recommend you go with the seller when you do the change.
