8. Mishandling Paperwork
When it comes to selling a car, there is one aspect many sellers tend to overlook. The paperwork. Selling a car is an in-depth thing to do, and it takes a level of knowledge to do it the right way. Paperwork is an important aspect that you need to pay attention to. In states like California where smog is a requirement to sell a car, paperwork is an essential part of the sale. You cannot legally sell a vehicle unless the paperwork is in order. Make sure to take time and examine the title.

The title should be signed and notarized in all the right places. You’ll also want to make sure that you have the chain of ownership if the title is not in your name. Making sure that your paperwork is in order is not hard when it comes to selling a car. But it is a tedious task that you need to make sure is in order before you ever list the vehicle for sale. Having your ducks in a row will save you money and headache in the long run.
