Selling a Used Car
Most car dealers can also assist with selling a car, or it can be sold privately. For details of where to sell privately, see the sources of information listed above in Buying a Used Car (most of which are in Russian). General websites for buying and selling can also be good places to advertise a car. One of the most popular sites is IRR (in Russian). As with buying a car, enquiring among colleagues and friends, contacting expat social circles or business groups, or posting in forums on expat websites can also be good ways to find a buyer. When selling a car, the seller is obliged to de-register the car at the traffic police office and the buyer should register it there too. There are companies that handle these services, for a fee, which can save time and make the process a lot easier, especially for non-Russian speakers. posting in forums on expat websites can also be good ways to find a buyer.When selling a car, the seller is obliged to de-register the car at the traffic police office and the buyer should register it there too.
