    Compare Insurance Rates in 3 Easy Steps

    1. Start Your Quote:

    Seller Responsibilities

    Used vehicles through private parties are sold "as is" in Connecticut, with no warranty or guarantee of any type.

    You must complete two pieces of paperwork when selling your car:


    Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability

    After selling your vehicle, you'll need to remove the license plates and turn them in to a DMV office. There, you'll be given a receipt, which you'll need for removing the vehicle from your town's property tax assessment list.

    If you can't visit an office, send the plates to:

    • DMV
    • 60 State St.
    • 60 State St.

    Include a letter explaining you want the plates canceled. And be sure to enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope so the DMV can send you the receipt.

    Bill of Sale

    You'll need a bill of sale when selling your vehicle. For convenience sake, you can easily download one from our Bill of Sale page.
