The California DMV: Find the Forms You Need
Tell any Californian that he or she has to visit the California DMV, and you'll get numerous grimaces, groans, and explatives. Mention the word "forms" in that sentence and they may turn tail and run.
The overcrowded long lines, the snail's pace, and the limiting hours of operation. Though the DMV provides wonderful service, California's population and the fact that there is a vehicle for every 1.8 people - it's easy to see how working with the DMV can get hectic and stressful.
The Forms You Need to Sell Your Car
Let's say you want to sell your car in California. (Of course, this is after you've found a seller, settled on a price, and sealed the deal, but that's another story.) At some point, you'll need to determine which DMV forms you need, then fill them out properly.
The California DMV's Web site has lots of information on the forms you need for the process of selling your car. However, it also leaves a lot of questions up in the air. Unless you know exactly what you're doing, even the most competent person can get lost in the paperwork. In turn, this can hold up or even prevent the sale of your car.
An Alternative to the DMV's Paperwork
If tracking down and filling out these DMV forms sounds like more trouble than it's worth, here's a suggestion: work with an auto buying service to sell your car - you won't have to struggle with finding a buyer, producing service records, prepping your vehicle, and of course, dealing with any paperwork.
It's very simple. You call our toll-free number and we'll set up an appointment. Or you can fill out our brief form. At your convenience, we'll appraise your car and make a cash offer right then and there. We'll also take care of the smog check and the mounds of paperwork.
We are Southern California's largest vehicle buying service, with over 25 years' experience and over 50,000 vehicles bought and sold. We are experts when it comes to handling your car's paperwork so that you don't have to.
Consider your choices. Sell it yourself, and you'll likely pocket more money. However, you'll lose that extra 10-15% in advertising costs, as well as hours spent dealing with potential buyers and dealing with that dreaded paperwork. Or you can take your car to a dealership and get the lowest price possible for your vehicle.
We like to think of ourselves as the happy medium. We guarantee to pay more for your vehicle than any dealer can. Plus, our service is free, with zero hassle--no costs, no wasted time, no stress, and of course, no paperwork!
