Getting rid of cars

[DrewChan]

Getting rid of 2 vehicles (SO's family's more or less abandoned them when going overseas)

1: 2006 Fordka, has a few leaks and 2 dents (nothing major).
2: 2003 VW Kombi - has a problem where its leaking oil apparently but can drive. Body is a little shabby

Was considering fixing them up before selling but they are not exactly prime vehicles anyway so might lose less money selling as is.

How much could I get for these 2 as a trade in (If I could find a dealer to take them)

I know its tough considering no pics or specific details but just ballpark.

I am hoping to get 50k for both... thoughts?

Yep, you should get R50K for both easy.

How are you going to get the transfer of ownership papers sorted if the owners are overseas ?

 

[DrewChan]

Hmmm fordka was transferred into my GFs name before her dad left. Dunno about Kombi. There must be a process for this?

Does anyone know how to change ownership from overseas? Can't you just sign over power of attorney or something?

i had a similar dilemma recently - also a car abandoned at my home by a relative leaving the country.
they forgot to leave me the blue form.

had a copy of their id book mailed to me then printed it out, then completed all the details on the form as the owner would do.
handed both the blue & yellow forms to the buyer along with a copy of relative's id book.

change of ownership took place without problem or question

I regularly see Ford Ka's going for 45-55k... I'm sure two dents won't bring the price down that much...
