Have All Documents Ready Before Listing
RC, Form 29/30, insurance certificate, and PUC must all be in order before you accept a buyer. Deals collapse when document issues surface after an offer is agreed — resolve them in advance.
Clear Any Finance (Hypothecation)
If your RC shows a hypothecation (loan), obtain the NOC and termination letter from your lender before listing. Buyers will not proceed with a vehicle that has encumbrances on the RC.
First Impressions: Photos and Description
Take Strong Photos
- Wash and clean the car inside and out before photographing.
- Shoot in good natural light with a clean, uncluttered background.
- Cover all exterior angles, interior, dashboard, boot, and engine bay — 12–15 photos.
Write a Clear Listing
- Lead with km, full service history, single-owner / RC status.
- Mention insurance and PUC validity dates.
- Confirm whether the RC has any hypothecation.
- Be upfront about known issues.
