Selling a non-runner

[The_Ogre]

Guys I have this car that's not running. A friend of mine wants to buy and fix/restore it.

The problem comes in with "roadworthy-ing" it to change ownership. The car is fully paid up and in my name, so I really just need to know how to get the transfer done.

Whats the procedure? Yellow form, blue form?

Anyone? Kinda urgent as neither of us know the way to do this...

Yellow I think. My father sold his b1600 1960's bakkie like that. It still ran but would not have passed a roadworthy due to issues with breaks. If I recall we used the yelllow to effectively "scrap" the vehicle and sell and the new owner was responsible to re-license and roadworthy.

Thanks, but out of interest, wouldn't scrapping it change the car to a code 3 in my case?

*Sigh* Here we go again:

1) The seller completes the yellow form. It is his responsibility, and his alone, to hand this in to the municipality as soon as possible after the car is sold. The form serves to notify the municipality that the car has been sold and to whom, and it also deregisters the car off your name.

2) The buyer completes the blue form to complete the registration and licensing of the car in his name.

3) If the car is not roadworthy, then the seller can still hand in the yellow form and the car will be off his name and provisionally in the buyers name until such time as the buyer can roadworthy the car and complete the re licensing.

In conclusion, if the car is not roadworthy, you can still transfer ownership, but the new owner will not be able to obtain a new license disc for the car until a roadworthy certificate can be produced for the car that was obtained within the last 6 months.

Thanks! I know the procedure for selling a car you know is roadworthy, I've just never dealt with selling a non-roadworthy one.

One last thing. The license of the car expired at the end of April. Since the car was standing for about 5 months it actually slipped my mind to go renew it.

I'm going to get it up to date, but just need to make sure of one thing. If I do renew it how sure can I be the buyer won't bother to go put the car on his name once he fixed the car? I don't want to end up paying for fines me or my wife hadn't incurred.
