On various classified sites and in the media , you can often see the ad "selling cars without documents." An attractive point in such proposals is the price of the machine, which is an order of magnitude lower than that of similar units with a complete set. What should be read in the subtext of such ads, and what is fraught with the purchase of a car without documents?
The first thought that appears to a respectable citizen at the sight of such an offer is a stolen car. However, most often this is not so. As a rule, stolen cars are not sold this way - too dangerous. Such machines have their own, tested and confusing distribution channels. Then where does the undocumented car market come from?
Very often a situation occurs when problems arise during the “customs clearance” of an imported car. In such cases, law enforcement agencies have the right to seize documents until the circumstances of the case are clarified. And “things” can be different - from problems with paperwork at customs to the detection of illegally broken numbers. Therefore, such a car without documents cannot be officially sold. Of course, it is possible to restore the necessary documentation, but only in the case of the appeal of the real owner and as a result of lengthy litigation.
Another case of the appearance on the market of cars without documents is their elementary loss. Of course, this is a very rare case, most often it is a thoughtful "maneuver" of the owner himself. Apparently, the case turned up to buy a car of the same brand, but of a later year of manufacture and in better technical condition. And some time ago this was practiced - under the guise of “units” for a car, a completely disassembled car was transported through customs, which was subsequently assembled and sold according to the very documents that were supposedly “lost”. From a legal point of view - the imported car is absolutely clean. But the old one was left without documents and it is impossible to sell it legally, well, except for spare parts. The method, of course, has long been known to everyone, and nevertheless - when buying a car without documents for spare parts, be careful, as some stolen cars are also disassembled for spare parts, and it is possible to be among the suspects if the car is on the wanted list.
The only problem when
selling a car without documents for spare parts is rarely anyone buys, and for one part you can sell for decades. However, at present there are many companies that buy out cars without documents. Of course, if you make a simple calculation, you can find out that selling spare parts separately would bring you more income, but when you contact these companies you get money without waiting, although it is an order of magnitude less. Some of them promise to give you an envelope with the agreed amount in half an hour.
In general, an undocumented car is not necessarily a criminal option, it may just be their improper registration at best, or a practically new car assembled by craftsmen in an underground service station, with documents obtained through some fraud. Experts say that it’s better not to use any of these options, overpay the required amount and get a normal, legalized car!
