I've been asked to help sell a car for the in-laws that have moved to Maine and left a vehicle in bama. It's a 2002 Chrysler Sebring Convertible with about 70,000 miles on it. I've only sold one vehicle myself (5 years ago), which was my old Silverado. Just wondering how much more complicated it will be selling it on their behalf. They can mail me the title. Hope to keep the sale local. I think I can look up the needed paperwork myself. Any other tips/advice would be appreciated.

Shouldn't be very hard I wouldn't think.

Have them Make up a bill of sale with their signature, have the buyer sign it and give it to them. Maybe I'm missing something though, I've never sold a car for someone else.

Also, Do you know an asking price? My dad was looking for a work car. I could see if it's something he'd be interested in.

I've sold cars for my brother and Dad. It doesn't require anything besides getting them to sign a bill of sale. As I recall it was all cash, so no checks to fool with. Just make sure you have the title in hand.

I can get you details within the next day or so if that helps.

Have the in-law sign and print his/her name on the title, type up and sign a bill of sale with all the info (leave a blank space for the $ amount, date, and buyer info), and just fill out the remainder of title and bill of sale once the seller pays for car. I would do a cash only sale. I would also suggest making several copies of the bill of sale, one for the buyer and seller, and one or two for possible mistakes.

As long as neither party makes a mistake on the back of title - no issues to worry with. Clean the car up good and be prepared to answer all questions about service, wrecks, and any mechanical work done. Be ready for a buyer to try and nitpick the care to death. They're trying to get it as cheap as they can while you're trying to get the most out of it. If it's close to your in-law's price - take the cash.

Good luck with the sale.

I believe this is spot on.


I love the rut. The woods are like a bunch of roided up meatheads fighting over a girl.

In addition to a CASH ONLY sale, I would also insist that buyer sign the title in the proper place to avoid an OPEN TITLE. A lot of buyers like to flip vehicles quickly without ever registering the vehicle in their names, so they don't want to sign the title.

Seems to me an OPEN TITLE leaves a lot of legal liability on the original owner until the title is finally -- perhaps months and months later -- transferred to a new owner.

I would recommend making sure that the bill of sale plainly says "This vehicle is being sold as is, where is, with no warranty either expressed or implied".
