Where should I sell the car: State of Registration or Current State? - Team-BHP

m_upreti · 26th March 2008, 17:19

I own a Wagon R Lx 2003 model.

The car is registered in Delhi while I am currently in Mumbai.

So I am facing problems in selling it in Mumbai, pls advise how to go about selling the car.

There are 2 options I have in mind:

1. Go to delhi have the RC transferred to Mumbai & register the car in
Mumbai & pay the roadtax.

2. Take the car to delhi & sell it.

Can anyone guide me on the expenses involved in both the options & which one to go for.

Any one having a 3rd (or 4th) opinion would be welcome.

There is a cost involved in getting the car back to Delhi. There is also a cost involved in the transfering the RC to Mumbai.
You can calculate the two cost and then have a good idea as to while option is better.

There are also other factors to consider such as time and effort to do option 1 and option 2 respectively. One thing is for sure, you would not be able to sell the car without a NOC from Delhi RTO. So in anycase you need to go to Delhi, whether it is for the NOC or the sale of the car.

I feel selling the car in Delhi is a lesser effort option and hence a better option (I have no idea of the actual cost of taking the car to Delhi, but it should not be too much, assuming it is driven there.)

Hi,

Cost of transporting the car by Carrier is about 5500 Rs.

The lifetime roadtax in Delhi ia paid.

Any one having the idea of the amount of road tax in Maharashtra (Navi Mumbai)

Hi,
I have a Bangalore (KA) registered car (Matiz), which I need to sell. However I'm in Pune at the moment. Is there a way I can sell the car while I'm in Pune, without having to drive / transport to Bangalore?

Considering the RC transfer, maharashtra road tax and new registration costs, my friend who is shifting from Bangalore to Mumbai has sold off his 2005 model Esteem for a good price in Bangalore itself. Few other reasons what he told me are ; less resale value in Mumbai specially vehicle that got transfered, difficulty of selling something while getting used to a new city. Time, money and energy consumed in either driving the vehicle or getting it through a carrier to Mumbai. Hope this info helps !!

My suggestion would be to send the car to Delhi & sell it there, much hassle free approach.

Hope you have NOC from bangalore RTO while you use your car in Pune.
Resale value for Matiz would take a hit as it's registered outside the state of sale.

Send the car to Delhi and sell it there.

Paying road tax will be heavy on your pocket and you will have to go through the hassle of changing registration.
