Are any legal actions required when buying a car?

Of course, every purchase of something (real estate, car, other property) is accompanied by a certain number of legal procedures.

Purchase of a car in the salon: the procedure of buying a car in the salon is accompanied by drawing up and signing the contract of sale of the vehicle. Most car dealerships have standard contracts for this. To make the purchase of a car as safe as possible, pay attention to the fact that the following points are clearly written in the contract:

• car delivery terms (they must be fixed in calendar days)

• the amount of the advance and the procedure for its return, in case of your refusal to purchase a car

• a complete modification of the model is indicated, according to which the exact configuration can be installed

The procedure for purchasing a new car entails the need to register the vehicle at the service center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. To register a new car, it is enough to submit the following documents:

• contract with the seal of the seller

• passport or other identity document

• receipts for payment of registration and a set of license plates

At the service center, you will receive a registration certificate (technical passport) and a set of license plates. After registering the car at the service center, the driver must take out a mandatory civil liability insurance policy (CIP) within three days.
