Transfer of vehicles. Buyers Beware

[Hioctane]

Beware when purchasing a used vehicle from an unregistered owner, who assures you that the transfer is not a problem since all the paperwork is in order. Then comes the harsh reality that you cannot get the transfer done.

The disadvantages when the price is too good and you really need the vehicle.
1) The seller stop taking calls and avoids you. Face to face communication is non existent.
2) Can't get insurance in your name.
3) If you are stopped in a roadblock, you endure the humiliation when the insurance certificate is not in your name.
4) The problem is compounded when you are reselling. Technically you are selling something that is not your property.
5) You may have to take the matter to National TV for some kind of resolution.

So if the price is a steal of a deal there is always a catch. Simply walkaway if the seller is unwilling to complete the transaction at Licensing Office.

Anyone willing to share their experiences.

Thank you rolling stock for addressing this. Insurance law clearly states that an insurance policy becomes null and void the second the subject matter of the insurance policy in this case the car is sold as the insured that is the policy holder no longer has insurable interest in the subject matter .

In simple terms if you bought a vehicle from someone and the insurance is in their name... YOU HAVE NO INSURANCE!

It's about time ppl realize that when you operate like that cause somebody tell yuh "dat go wuk" and then you bounce you put yourself and ppl in real hot waters.

[Redman]

But is the vehicle considered legally sold if it isn't actually transferred?

[Hioctane]

Redman

My information is, if the vehicle is impounded by the authorities if it is involved in a serious accident or crime, after the investigations are complete the vehicle will not be released unless you produce a certified copy in your name. A sales receipt from the previous owner who might not even be the registered owner will not work.

Over to the legal minds here for clarity of Sale and Title.

[nightyakasy]

The vehicle is considered legally sold once a receipt of sale is presented. The previous owner as well as the new owner can face fines and/or charges for not transferring the vehicle within seven days of the change of ownership as outlined in the Motor vehicles and road traffic act chap 48:50 sec. 19. 1(a) & (b)

if according to you , the vehicle has not been transferred the said ownership is still on the previous owners name , so u have valid insurance , its like you borrow your moms car the insurance is still valid . i doubt when u go in a road block u tell the cops " hey i bought this vehicle and using the previous owners insurance rite "

think about it man ......

And it's exactly that type of donkey logic that has our beloved nation the the state that it is in. You do realize that you are trying to compare apples and oranges. Anyway as they say "who feels it knows it" I hope for your sake sir that your vehicle isn't hit, worse yet written off by some ignorant driver with the same logic. The aim of my response was to educate whoever reads this post of what the laws are so that the folks that have been duped in the past can now have adequate knowledge to make an informed decision. Accepting that knowledge is totally up to the reader.

You are an idiot. You have never sold a car or bought a car have you?
Wanna know the first thing people does do when they sell a car?
Call the insurance company and get a refund on the policy, why would I pay insurance for a vehicle I don't own

Not all insurance policies have the same restrictions, some only cover the policyholder or a named driver. Some have no age restrictions etc

I have the reverse problem. When I sell a vehicle, I usually have to run down the people to do the transfer. What is the remedy when you sell a vehicle and the buyer does not want to transfer the vehicle? They always giving some sad story either the vehicle not working or they busy and cannot get time off.

[tr1ad]

easy... money passing hands and transfer at licensing

[De Dragon]

Simple really, no transferring, no sale.
