    Selling the sigma

    Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Advice Mitsubishi Sigma Mitsubishi Sigma Advice Mitsubishi Sigma 1986
    COULD you advise me on the best way to sell my 1986 Mitsubishi Sigma. It has a manual gearbox and has done 227,000km, but it's in relatively good condition and runs well. It's registered until the end of next month, but I haven't got a roadworthy certificate, and I'm not sure what would be needed to make it roadworthy. Is my asking price of $800 too high? Does paperwork need to be filled out if the buyer takes the car with the number plates but without a roadworthy? Would I be better off to take the number plates off, return them, and get the car towed to a wreckers?

    WITH little registration and no roadworthy certificate, your Sigma is going to be difficult to sell. At best, if it is running well and is in reasonably good condition it would be worth about $500. If you sell it without a roadworthy certificate, on the understanding the buyer will arrange to make it roadworthy, you should sign the transfer papers and advise the authorities that you have disposed on the car, even giving them a copy of the paperwork. That way they can chase the buyer for the paperwork and you will be in the clear in the event the buyer gets a parking fine or speeding ticket. As for the wreckers, you will get only a couple of hundred dollars if they're interested in taking it off your hands.
