Found a buyer and got the LTA PIN number Now what?

Post by QRM » Fri, 25 Jun 2010 9:26 pm

This is the first time I have sold a car in Singapore. I was told I need to get a transfer Pin from LTA. This I now have in an envelope. I have already bought my new car.

The Guy buying the old one is a dealer and he said he will run through it all. Hes a nice bloke but what I have learnt in my stint in Singapore, no disrespect to any of the locals, but if theres a chance of making a fast buck and taking the piss, integrity and morals go out the window.

Just checking to see what the procedure are, Googling doesn't help, I still cant get my head around all this ESA (Electronic Service Agent) PARF, Barf, COE, Open Cat 5 COE, OMV, Quota premiums and redemptions etc.

Thanks

If you are selling your car to an individual, it is very easy. Both buyer and seller go to LTA and transfer is done in 5 mins flat!

Dealer I guess slightly complicated as you will not tfr it in the name of the dealer, so until the dealer finds a buyer, not sure whos name the car will be.

If you have gone to a reputed dealer you should be ok. If you are still worried, go to car/bike specific forum and you should get all the info you need.
