How To Sell an Out Of Province Car In BC

Wondering how to sell an out or province car in British Columbia? Cash For Cars BC has you covered! You can sell an out of province vehicle (car, truck, SUV, van, hybrid or electric vehicle) in BC but it will be a more difficult process. In this article we will discuss the steps you can take to make selling your out-of-province car in BC an easy process.

The vast majority of private buyers and dealerships will want your car to be registered in BC before they buy the vehicle. This may not always be possible due to regulatory issues. So, we recommend getting a recent Out Of Province Inspection Report as the first step. You can get an Out Of Province Inspection Report at many licensed mechanic shops including Canadian Tire.

Alternatively, you can download the vehicle inspection report HERE.

At Cash For Cars BC we buy out of province cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, hybrid and electric vehicles all the time. Even if your vehicle has failed inspection, you can sell it to Cash For Cars BC for the MOST cash. Plus, we handle all the paperwork, we come to you, and NOBODY Pays More!

How to Prepare to Sell Your Out of Province Car in BC

One of the first steps in selling an out of province car in BC is to make sure that you’ve got a copy of your original registration. Additionally, to get the MOST cash for your car, gather up any maintenance records or recent repair receipts that you have. The more value that you can prove your car has, the better. Private buyers love to lowball whenever they can, so be prepared.

That’s why many people who bring vehicles from other provinces choose the car buying services of Cash For Cars BC. We offer the MOST cash for cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and Vancouver Island. No one knows more about buying cars from other provinces than we do. Nor do they offer as much cash for cars as we can.

Final Steps for Selling an Out of Province Vehicle in BC

There are several additional steps you will have to complete before the sale of an out of province vehicle can be completed. At Cash For Cars BC we can handle all of this paperwork for you.

1. Pick up a Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T) from any Autoplan broker. Due to COVID-19, the Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T) is temporarily available for download.
   Please note that all four pages must be complete and original signatures are still required.
2. Remove your licence plates from the vehicle you’re selling.
3. Remove your insurance and registration. The insurance and registration are actually two parts of the same document (APV250).
4. Tear off (carefully please!) the bottom, vehicle registration portion.
5. Give the registration to the buyer, making sure it has your signature on it. (It must be the original registration, not a photocopy.)
6. After you’ve been paid, fill out and sign the Transfer/Tax Form in full. Each of the four pages must have original signatures.
7. To complete the transfer, take the registration and Transfer/Tax Form to an Autoplan broker. We strongly recommend going together with the buyer to ensure that the registration transfer is processed in a timely manner and that your name and any insurance and licence products are removed from the vehicle registration record. This is important in avoiding any possible liability claims associated with the future operation of the vehicle by the purchaser. If you cannot visit the Autoplan broker with the buyer, keep the seller’s copy (with original signatures from both you and the seller) for your records.
8. Remember to cancel your insurance or transfer it to a new vehicle.​
