Your DMV Record and How It Affects Your Car Sale
Your DMV record is one of the most important documents in your life. Some jobs require you to have a clean record before they hire you, and even some landlords want to see your history before they rent to you. If you have a good DMV record, you may qualify for certain benefits, such as automatic renewal of your driver's license and lower insurance rates. Those who don't have a stellar DMV record, however, can still salvage it.
If you have a moving violation, it's one of the easier items to take care of. Many states let you erase certain moving violations simply by attending traffic school. No one wants to spend Saturday in school, but nowadays, you have a wide choice of classes. You can take online courses or even comedy traffic school. Both will help clean up your DMV record.
But that's not the only record the DMV keeps. For example, if you want to buy or sell a car, the DMV will need copies of the car's title, registration, smog check, and other paperwork, just for starters. If you're trying to unload your car, filling out these forms improperly could hold up the sale of your car or possibly even prevent it. Yet most sellers spend the least time and attention on this vital paperwork.
An even more horrific scenario: what if your buyer does not properly submit his or her DMV paperwork? If anything goes wrong on their end, the record for your used vehicle will show that you are still the owner and are liable for continued costs, such as renewal fees. With all that in mind, you may prefer to spend a Saturday in traffic school than deal with selling your used car.
