Hi,
I want to sell my vehicle that was just deemed Unsafe and had its plates removed. The Cop that eventually came along and told me the reasoning wasn't that bad, and truly its just because its lowered and has tint.
While I drive the car without tire rubbing, I see his point - and to cut a long story short, while this import has been a labor of love for me, I have been pressured on the home front to sell it anyway. So its not an unsafe vehicle per say, but it needs to be raised (i have coilovers so its not hard, except I need a shop with spring compressors on hand), and tint removed. Right now its at home, and to take it to the tire shop and then to a Safety shop is too much hassle in terms of tow truck costs and the very fact that I was planning to sell this car this summer anyway.
I told the cop I want to sell it, and he said I could sell it as is, and I'd be scot free of fixing all this stuff, but I would still have to show face on my court date explaining what happened and that it now is sold. He recommended a Paralegal for that, but in the same breath mentioned that it wouldnt be a big deal once I sold it (confused)...I guess that part is another story.
Here is my question:
The car is unsafe and without plates. I want to sell it as-is and with full disclosure to the Buyer on what needs to be done in order to safety it (truth be known, I got it safetied at Canadian tire without a problem, but now with this new yellow sheet the cop gave me, maybe he has to safety it with that ("raise car, remove tint), or on his own without addressing those issues and just my heads up?)
How do I sell this thing? What about liability because it has no plates. Can the Buyer get a temp plate with this Yellow sheet (Vehicle Report Notice - Defect Repair Verification Notice) pending?
Thanks!
