What to Check Before Visiting
- Check that the seller’s ID matches the name on the vehicle registration certificate, and that the VIN and engine number on the car match the papers.
- Ask about a SAPS vehicle police clearance, which confirms the VIN, chassis and engine numbers and that the car is not flagged as stolen. It is compulsory in some cases, such as rebuilt vehicles or number mismatches, and a sensible check for any private sale.
- The buyer must register the car in their name at a registering authority within 21 days of buying it, using the RLV form, the registration certificate and a roadworthy certificate. The seller should submit the NCO (notification of change of ownership) form.
- The buyer is responsible for getting a roadworthy certificate from a registered testing station.
- Ask whether there is outstanding finance on the car. If the bank is still the title holder, the finance must be settled before ownership can pass to you.
- Have a trusted mechanic inspect the car, and ask for the service book.
- Never pay a deposit to “hold” a car you have not seen, and be careful of prices far below market value.
- Pay by EFT only after checking the papers, and confirm the money has cleared before handing over or taking keys.
Registration rules are set out on the South African Government services page on changing vehicle ownership.
