Bought a Fairly Used Car? Do this immediately or regret Later
Bought a Fairly Used Car? Do this immediately or regret Later
So you’ve just bought a fairly used car congratulations!
But wait. Before you start cruising around town, know this in the eyes of the law, that car isn’t truly yours until you take some very important steps. Ignore them, and you could find yourself answering questions at the police station or, worse, facing a criminal case for something you didn’t do.
Here’s what you must do immediately:
Process a Proper Change of Ownership
Paying money doesn’t automatically make the car yours. You need to visit the licensing office and officially change ownership. Until then, the law still sees the old owner as the legal owner.
- Re-Register the Vehicle in Your Name
Update all the documents registration book, insurance papers, roadworthiness certificate to carry your name. That way, if there’s an accident, arrest, or checkpoint stop, you’re protected. - Verify Engine and Chassis Numbers
Check carefully that the engine and chassis numbers on the car match the papers. Confirm with the police (Anti-Theft Unit) if possible. If you buy a stolen car, even unknowingly, you could be treated as a criminal. - Get a Written Receipt or Purchase Agreement
Don’t ever buy without paper proof. The document should contain:
Seller’s full name and ID
Date of sale
Amount paid
Car description (model, plate number, color)
Seller’s and buyer’s signatures
Obtain Police Clearance (If Necessary)
If the car is imported or has changed many hands, get a police clearance to confirm it’s not flagged as stolen.
Remember your name on a seller’s receipt is not enough. What the law respects is your name on the official car documents.
