Practical tips when selling a financed, non-running car

• Request a settlement figure from your lender in writing; this clarifies whether sale proceeds will fully settle the account.
• Keep receipts and transfer documents for your records; this helps with deregistration and tax records in South Africa.
• If the outstanding finance is higher than the offer, explore short-term settlement with your lender before proceeding.
