Agreement for the purchase and sale of a car through a consignment store

How is commission sale of vehicles organized?

Most car owners dream of selling their existing car and buying a new one. Sometimes cars are sold simply because they need money. In any case, sooner or later the question of selling a car arises before every car owner, and he has to make a decision on how this can be done. There are many options for selling a car. Let's look at how commission sales of cars are carried out.

Ways to sell used cars

There are quite a few ways to sell used cars. The car owner can choose one of them:

• Vehicle recycling. If the residual value of the car is low, and the main goal is simply to get rid of it, you can hand over the car for recycling. Of course, in the best case, you will get the cost of scrap metal; you may still have to pay extra. However, you can deregister the car and stop paying for junk cars. In addition, many manufacturers participate in the state car recycling program or have their own similar projects. By becoming a participant in this program and scrapping your car, you will receive a discount on the purchase of a new car.
• Trade-in. This is a system of exchanging one car for another, taking into account its estimated value in the final settlement. When exchanging for a new car, it is possible to receive additional discounts. As a result, depending on the cost of both cars, the client can not only purchase a new car, but also receive an additional payment. The advantage of this method is speed, the disadvantage is that companies working under the Trade-in program, when setting a price for a client’s car, include their own margin in it.

We have listed the main methods of selling used cars, although there are others. Let's take a closer look at the last option from the list above.

What is consignment sale of a car?

Selling a car through a consignment store occurs according to the following scheme:

1. The client personally visits the store or contacts it through available communication channels, informs about his intention to sell the car and clarifies the conditions.
2. Store specialists inspect and evaluate the car. Despite the fact that the price at which the car should be sold is set by the client, the store will not undertake the sale of an overvalued car. Moreover, during the sales process, the client may be required to reduce the assigned price.

What documents are needed to sell a car through a consignment store?

To sell your car under a commission agreement, you will need to confirm your identity and your right to dispose of the car. In general, you will need the following documents:

• passport;
• vehicle passport (PTS);
• vehicle registration certificate (VRC);
• a power of attorney for the right to sell, if his representative acts on behalf of the owner (at present, such a power of attorney is not required to be certified by a notary).

How long does it take to sell a car at a consignment store?

There are cases that a car put up for consignment is sold on the same day. However, given that the client usually seeks to set the maximum price, implementation may be delayed.

This method is recommended for those who are not pressed for sales deadlines and who want to shift the work of showing the car, its pre-sale preparation and maintaining it in a presentable condition onto someone else’s shoulders.

Companies that engage in commission sales of vehicles

You can buy consignment cars or put your vehicles up for sale in many dealerships. They are easy to find by searching on the Internet. Here are just a few of them:

• "Hangar Auto".
• “Mocha Auto Show”.
• “Auto Selection MSK”.

You can easily find a similar organization in your region.

In the used car sales market, the Carprice company operating in Russia and Ukraine is quite well known. This is not an ordinary consignment store, but a growing business selling used cars through auto auctions. The company also has a service for buying cars.

The procedure for selling a car through consignment stores

The scheme for transferring ownership of a car is the same in all cases. A purchase and sale agreement is concluded between the buyer and seller. After this, the buyer is required to register the transfer of ownership with the traffic police within 10 days. When purchasing a car in a consignment store, the store acts on behalf of the seller on the basis of a commission agreement.

How to draw up a purchase and sale agreement

A car purchase and sale agreement currently does not require mandatory notarization. That is, it can be compiled even by hand on a simple sheet of paper. The contract specifies:

• information about the parties;
• information about the car being sold;
• transaction value;
• calculation procedure;
• procedure for transferring the vehicle;
• date of conclusion.

The agreement is sealed with the signatures of the parties, and an annex to it is an act of acceptance and transfer of the vehicle.

Who pays the store commission - the seller or the buyer of the car

The payer of the commission is always the car seller. Theoretically, he could include this amount in the price at which he planned to sell the car and sign a commission agreement indicating the inflated price. However, it should be taken into account that it is very difficult to sell a car at a price higher than the market average, and the already rather lengthy sales procedure can stretch out even more.

Finally

The benefits of handing over a car to a consignment shop include relieving the owner of the car of almost all responsibilities that he would otherwise have to perform personally. We are talking about advertising, pre-sale preparation of the car and its displays. The downside is that cars are not sold very quickly this way, and you also need to pay a commission for the car. If you have time, another car and funds to remunerate the commission agent, this is a completely acceptable way to sell a car.

Commission agreement for the sale of a car

A commission agreement is used when selling and reselling a car with the help of an intermediary. A number of car owners and car sellers consider this method the most convenient for all parties to the transaction. But before you start processing, it is recommended to learn about the features of filling out such a document, as well as about the possible risks.

What it is?

A commission agreement is an agreement between the owner of the vehicle and a third party willing to act as a seller. This intermediary assumes all responsibility associated with the sale of the vehicle. He independently looks for a buyer, draws up a purchase and sale agreement, freeing the owner from all such hassle. In this case, the seller receives up to 5-6% of the funds paid. The intermediary's commission is negotiated separately and is specified in the agreement with the car owner.

An agreement is necessary to fully define the rights and obligations of both parties. The document specifies the deadline by which the vehicle must be sold, indicates the minimum price and the conditions for its reduction (or increase), the percentage of the intermediary and the conditions for terminating the agreement. Legal entities usually act as intermediaries; it is not recommended to contact private dealers. The main purpose of concluding an agreement is to save time and effort for the owner of the car being sold.

Formalization of the agreement

The law does not stipulate the form of the commission agreement, but there are a number of recommendations for its preparation and completion. Each company has ready-made agreement forms. But owners should check all the points themselves. If necessary, the owner of the car is obliged to demand the inclusion of additional clauses in the commission agreement, or correction of existing ones. In case of refusal, it makes sense to look for another intermediary. It is desirable that the prepared document contain the following information :

• name - “Commission Agreement”, with agreement number;
• date and place of signing the document;
• information about the parties to the agreement:
  • the owner of the car indicates his full name, residential address, number and series of passport;
  • the seller is given his details: the full name of the organization, its type (joint stock company, limited liability company, etc.), TIN number, who is responsible for the implementation of the commission agreement;
  • It is also indicated here that the person giving the car for sale (the owner) is called the principal, and the intermediary is called the commission agent;
• description of the commission agreement:
  • the commission agent undertakes to conduct the transaction on behalf of the principal;
  • all rights and obligations related to its completion are transferred to the commission agent, but the details of the principal are indicated in the sale and purchase agreement;
  • it is necessary to clarify under what conditions the agreement will be implemented;
  • the conditions for its termination are also given;
• The responsibilities of the parties are listed separately:
  • responsibilities of the committent:
    • accurately describe the car and indicate any deficiencies;
    • pay the commission agent a certain percentage of the additional profit (additional profit is the amount received in excess of the value specified in the agreement);
    • pay the amount specified in the document for the execution of the commission agreement for the sale of a car. It is recommended to clarify that if the termination was carried out due to the fault of the principal, the intermediary receives a commission for the transaction;
  • duties of a commission agent:
    • conscientiously inspect and accept the car in the form in which the principal handed it over;
    • execute the contract on terms favorable to the principal and not inconsistent with the terms of the agreement and current laws;
    • do not hide information about the transaction from the principal;
• the rights of the owner and intermediary are indicated. The owner has the right to demand any information about the progress of the transaction and terminate the contract unilaterally. The intermediary may require additional payment for completing a transaction on favorable terms. He may also request a commission upon termination of the contract if the termination was not due to his fault;
• a description of the subject of the agreement is given:
  • information about the car (make and model, engine type and size, color, dimensions, etc.);
  • minimum price for a vehicle;
  • conditions for increasing or decreasing prices;
  • here you can indicate where the contract will be executed and how long it will take to complete it;
• After fulfilling the terms of the transaction, the parties are obliged to:
  • the commission agent must transfer the received payment to the principal within 3 calendar days;
  • the committent, in turn, undertakes to accept the payment or explain in writing why he is not satisfied with the amount received. If this was not done within 5 calendar days, the contract is considered fulfilled;
• tax payment information:
  • the intermediary pays tax only on commissions and additional premiums for profitable sales of cars;
  • the owner must pay the entire tax amount for the sale and registration of the transaction. But this does not apply to those who have owned the car for 3 or more years. They are not subject to sales tax;
• clause on mutual or unilateral claims. It is worth pointing out that claims are made in writing, with full justification. Unfounded claims and demands may be rejected. All disputes can be resolved by contract or by a court decision;
• the commission agreement ends with the signatures of the parties.

The commission agreement may be supplemented by a number of conditions, descriptions and references (to other documents, legislative acts, etc.). If, before concluding a commission agreement, a car was inspected, it is recommended that this be recorded in writing (in the appropriate act). It is also worth drawing up an act of acceptance and transfer of documentation (STS, PTS), and provide a link to it in the main agreement.

How to sell a car under a commission agreement?

Selling a car under a commission agreement has its own characteristics. First, you must first choose a suitable intermediary . By law, any organization has the right to be one. Car owners should be wary of various scammers. It is recommended to read reviews about the company or dealer (we must not forget about the possibility of falsifying reviews).

Next, you need to deregister the car with the traffic police. By law, this procedure is optional. But it confirms the fact that the car is not listed as stolen, is not pawned and is not under arrest. Then a commission agreement for the sale of the car is drawn up. Before signing, you must read all the points in the agreement, since the signed document will be valid even if the owner is not satisfied with its terms.

When completing the agreement, the following documents will be required :

• Car registration certificate (CTC) and registration certificate (PTS);
• Certificate of acceptance and transfer of documents (the mentioned STS and PTS of the car are indicated here);
• Vehicle inspection report (it includes information about existing damage and malfunctions of the vehicle, its mileage and general condition);

It is better not to contact an intermediary who requires the preparation of a purchase and sale agreement. It can be used to sell a car and make a profit, bypassing the owner. After completing the necessary documents and signing the commission agreement, nothing else depends on the owner. Now all responsibility for the transaction lies on the shoulders of the intermediary.

Advantages and disadvantages of selling a car under a commission agreement

The commission agreement has a number of advantages and disadvantages. You should resort to it wisely, having assessed the possible risks and benefits. Among the advantages of the method it should be noted:

• ease of sale, compared to independently searching for a buyer and concluding an agreement with him;
• possibility of obtaining greater profits. An experienced dealer will be able to sell a car for a high price. The owner will receive a large amount even taking into account commissions;
• The procedure for selecting and purchasing a car is simplified for potential buyers. The same applies to the preparation of documents and the conclusion of an agreement with the seller.

The commission agreement also has its drawbacks. Among the seller's risks it is worth noting:

• risks associated with unscrupulous intermediaries. There are certain types of fraud associated with commission agreements. At the same time (for the owner) it is difficult to return the car or the money for it. Therefore, you can only enter into a commission agreement with a well-known and reliable intermediary;
• additional expenses - commission agent's fee and deregistration of the car. However, it is not always possible to cover them.

There are risks for the potential buyer . The most common is the intermediary’s violation of agreements with the car owner. In this case, the owner may request that the transaction be cancelled. And the buyer will have to independently seek a return of the money spent. The worst thing is if the commission agreement was concluded fraudulently, and the owner did not intend to sell the car (for example, his signature on the agreement is a fake). In this case, the buyer may be accused of fraud as an accomplice.

Buying a car

From April 3, 2011, a car can be sold without deregistration, along with the state registration. numbers. In this case, the new owner must live within your region.

When selling, you can reserve your license plates for your future car. In this case, you have no more than a month to purchase and register another car.

Registration of purchase and sale of a car

If you purchase a car at a car dealership or through a consignment store, they usually handle all the paperwork themselves. After paying for the purchase, the new owner receives completed paperwork and transit numbers. You can almost always issue an insurance policy there.

If you buy a car second-hand, then in this case you can choose the appropriate method of completing the purchase.

Method 1 – Through a consignment store (almost always used)

First, the owner deregisters the car* with the traffic police at his place of residence, where the car is checked against theft. Returns old numbers and receives transit numbers. If you have any doubts, you can attend the procedure in person, although this is not necessary.

Next, you and the owner go to a thrift store, of which there are plenty in front of every traffic police registration department. You most likely won’t see a regular store: it could be a Gazelle parked on the sidewalk, or even just a booth.

The consignment store is an intermediary. Its initial function is to accept a car for consignment, find a buyer and connect him with the seller. In our case, it is needed only for processing documents and issuing transit numbers.

First, a commission agreement is drawn up between the car owner and the store. Then a purchase and sale agreement is concluded between the store and the new owner. Please note that you must have a purchase and sale agreement in your hands, and not a certificate-invoice.

The store charges a commission of about 1,000 rubles or more and gives you transit numbers, which you carefully attach to the front and rear windows. These numbers, printed on a regular sheet of paper, are usually valid for no more than twenty days. During this time, you must register your newly purchased car. Discuss who will pay the commission fee with the seller in advance.

The main disadvantage of this purchasing method is the payment of a commission fee. But many drivers prefer this type of registration, since both parties are exempt from filling out paperwork. In addition, the presence of a third party inspires greater confidence in the integrity of the transaction.

Often, in order to avoid taxes, a lower amount of the cost of the car is indicated in the purchase and sale agreement. In this case, it would be useful to take a receipt in exchange for the money paid.

Keep in mind: if after purchase there are any problems with the car (it turns out to be stolen, with broken numbers, etc.), then claims can be made to the seller, that is, in this case, to the consignment store.

* - according to current legislation, a car can be deregistered by the buyer after purchasing the car. But in practice this doesn't work.

Method 2 – Buying without intermediaries (used quite often)

The owner deregisters the car with the traffic police at his place of residence.

You enter into a purchase and sale agreement with him*. You can even fill it out by hand.

With the previous owner, you go to the registration department of the traffic police at your place of residence and register the car. The presence of the previous owner is usually required only to confirm his intention to sell the car. The traffic cops check your passports and, after some time, after the appropriate procedures, you receive the long-awaited registration numbers.

The advantage of this method is that you do not involve intermediaries: which means you do not pay commissions and other services. There is one downside: the owner of the car does not always agree to waste his time traveling to your traffic police department and waiting in queues there.

* - According to current legislation, a car, like any movable property, can be sold by concluding an oral agreement with the buyer. But it is safer (and for traffic cops) to draw up such an agreement in writing.

Method 3 – By general power of attorney (rarely used)

Ten years ago this method was very popular.

You and the owner go to a notary, where he issues a general power of attorney (power of attorney with the right to sell) for you. Knowing your passport details, the owner can issue a power of attorney without your presence.

From this moment on, you are an authorized representative of the owner and can not only drive the car, but also perform all legal actions for the owner: deregister the car, undergo technical inspection and even sell it. The only inconvenience is that you won’t be able to sell such a car to yourself. In the old days, this did not bother the new owner; he calmly disposed of the car and sold it by the time the power of attorney expired. As a last resort, I simply extended it.

How to register a car for yourself?

An authorized person can formally sell a car to someone, and then buy it. Or you can initially issue a general power of attorney for your relative (friend, acquaintance), in order to then conclude a purchase and sale agreement with him.

This purchasing method is best used only if you know the seller well. I would not enter into such relationships with strangers, since unforeseen difficulties may arise at the time the car is deregistered.

The trustee is not the owner!

At first glance, the trustee has all the powers of the owner. However, there are some nuances.

Firstly: a general power of attorney is not a transfer of ownership, but only a temporary right to represent the interests of the owner (in our case, the ability to dispose of a car).

In the event of the owner's death, the power of attorney expires and the car passes to his heirs. From this moment on, the principal cannot sell it.

Secondly, the power of attorney cannot be issued for a period of more than 3 years, after which it must be renewed, or the car must be returned to the rightful owner.

And one more thing: the real owner has the right to revoke his power of attorney at any time. So always take a receipt in exchange for the money paid!

Attention : the method of selling under a general power of attorney is often used by scammers! At the same time, sometimes during the “sale” the unfortunate buyer is given a duplicate of the Vehicle Passport (PTS).

The presence of a duplicate Vehicle Passport from the seller should always raise suspicions. Because for example, for credit cars, the original title is stored in the bank and is not issued to the owner until the loan is paid off.

And finally, the last thing: do not buy a car from suspicious people, especially if they offer you a good discount, even if it is a car dealership. Under no circumstances should you forget that free cheese...

A good car is not sold cheap. This is an axiom.
