Selling a car to a foreign buyer and paperwork
Discussion
Just thought I'd post this in here too:
Hi - I have a buyer from Germany for my car, I just want to check that I am doing everything correctly, and that I'm not going to receive a load of speed camera bills etc over the next few weeks!
I will be accepting cash only for the car, and we'll go to the bank together to pay it in, so that should be safe.
My main question concerns the V5 and paperwork - from what I can understand on the DVLA website, he fills in the new buyer sections 6 and 10 and we both sign the declaration section 8. I then write a letter to DVLA giving reg number, make and model, date of sale and name of address of the new keeper, and give the seller the entire V5 - is this correct?
Any help would be much appreciated.

You should fill in section 11 - Notification of permanent export & send to the DVLA. The buyer then keeps the rest of the V5.
Just make sure you write out & keep a signed, timed & dated copy of the bill of sale, in case your buyer picks up any speeding tickets before the car is exported.

I sold my truck to a dealer from Germany last year. He does imports a lot like this and he did it as said above.
