Prepare to Sell: Take Photographs<br>Because most potential buyers will not have the opportunity to see your vehicle in person, it is important that you provide multiple pictures in your listing. People will buy a used vehicle without driving it, but not without seeing it. An online transaction requires the seller to provide a virtual walk around. This is best done with a minimum of 12 photos. We recommend a setting that produces original pictures of 1024&#215;768 pixels (a common size) or some values close to that. Do not use stock photos.<br><br>Why are photos important?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Multiple photos have proven more effective when selling a vehicle.<\/li><li>Because photos speak for themselves, buyers are likely to have fewer questions during the listing duration.<\/li><li>Photos provide buyers with added confidence in the seller and ultimately in their bidding and purchase behavior.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photos should be taken from several vantage points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Exterior: all four sides<\/li><li>Interior<\/li><li>Engine<\/li><li>Odometer<\/li><li>Close-ups of any dings, dents, stains, or other damage<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photographing Your Vehicle<br>Generally, items listed with good photos receive more bids and sell for higher prices than those with poor quality photos. Here are some photos tips for your Pinchorja  auction.<br><br>Exterior Photos Provide potential bidders with a full exterior view of your vehicle. At a minimum, you should use \u00be views to capture the front, back, and both sides in two photos; however, the more detail the better. To provide the most effective listing it is important to include a direct front and rear photo along with each side of vehicle to help identify the distinguishing make and model characteristics of the vehicle. These views are useful, because they can also show options like fog lights (front) or trailer hitch (rear).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ir.ebaystatic.com\/pictures\/aw\/pics\/motors2\/images\/imgSellExtPhotos.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Condition or Damage PhotosAs you walk around the outside of the vehicle, check to see whether there are any other details that show the condition. In order to increase buyer confidence, you should take photos of any notable issues including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dents, rust, interior damage, rips, tears, paint fade, and scratches<\/li><li>Cleanliness of wheels and tire tread<\/li><li>Grill and font end of car<\/li><li>Truck bed (if applicable)<br>&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buyers should be aware of any known problems before they complete the purchase. Many successful sellers use blue masking tape to highlight damage, because damage is sometimes difficult to see in a digital picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ir.ebaystatic.com\/pictures\/aw\/pics\/motors2\/images\/imgSellDamagePhotos.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interior PhotosPhotograph all the details a buyer will want to see inside the vehicle. Make sure to photograph the seats, dashboard, and any optional equipment (such as a stereo), floor carpets, backseat, or other interior angles. Also include any items that help identify optional equipment, such as trim level and condition.<br><br>Lighting is important for interior photos as shadows and poor lighting can make them difficult to see online. Use of a flash for interior photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ir.ebaystatic.com\/pictures\/aw\/pics\/motors2\/images\/imgSellInteriorPhotos.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Odometer and VIN PhotosTake close-up photos of the odometer reading and the VIN. Take a picture of the odometer reading with the keys in the ignition and the power turned on so the mileage appears clearly in the photo.<br><br>Lighting is important for interior photos as shadows and poor lighting can make them difficult to see online.

This is especially true of older and collector vehicles. One photo of the entire engine compartment with good lighting is usually adequate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ir.ebaystatic.com\/pictures\/aw\/pics\/motors2\/images\/imgSellEngine.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tips on Taking PhotosFramingThe car should fill the frame of the photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ir.ebaystatic.com\/pictures\/aw\/pics\/motors2\/images\/imgSellFraming.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CompositionBackground should be neutral, so that it is easy to see the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ir.ebaystatic.com\/pictures\/aw\/pics\/motors2\/images\/imgSellComposition.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LightingShadows and poor lighting can make photos difficult to see online. Shadows from trees and buildings can obscure a clear view. Early morning or late afternoon light is generally best for photos. You should have your back to the sun and watch for shadows, including your own. Use a flash for interior and engine shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ir.ebaystatic.com\/pictures\/aw\/pics\/motors2\/images\/imgSellLighting.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Create Your Listing<br>Your next step is to create an a Pinchorja&#8217;s  listing that will entice buyers to purchase your vehicle. Be sure to include a detailed description of your vehicle, the terms of sale, and a realistic price based on research that supports your vehicle&#8217;s value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pinchorja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sell-Your-Vehicle-Checklist.pdf\">Sell Your Vehicle Checklist<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/pinchorja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sell-Your-Vehicle-Checklist.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional Information to buy or sell your vehicle in Jamaica<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intention is for you, the\u00a0<strong>Automotives<\/strong>\u00a0reader, to understand these unavoidable processes as clearly as possible, making your interaction with a tax office you may visit to do &#8216;car business&#8217; without unnecessary complication in Jamaica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motor vehicle transfers happen for various reasons, including the gift or sale of the vehicle. Whatever the situation, once ownership of a vehicle changes a transfer must be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To facilitate a transfer, the following documents are required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.<\/strong>&nbsp;Certificate of Title<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.<\/strong>&nbsp;Registration Certificate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.<\/strong>&nbsp;Valid insurance cover note in buyer&#8217;s name<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4.<\/strong>&nbsp;Valid identification (e.g. Passport, Driver&#8217;s Licence)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5.<\/strong>&nbsp;Valid Certificate of Fitness<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6.<\/strong>&nbsp;Letter of authorisation along with the company&#8217;s stamp (if application is for a company).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7<\/strong>. The discharge of lien, if a lien is attached to the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8.<\/strong>&nbsp;A Taxpayer Registration Number (TRN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9.<\/strong>&nbsp;Transfer fee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both parties, as in the person who is handing over the vehicle (transferor) and the person who is receiving it (transferee), must visit the same tax office, though not necessarily at the same time, to have the transfer executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the tax office the following will apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.<\/strong>&nbsp;An officer will verify that all the required documents are present and in proper order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.<\/strong>&nbsp;The transfer will then be done on the reverse side of the title in the presence of the Collector of Taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.<\/strong>&nbsp;The transferee then pays the transfer fees and collects the receipt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4.<\/strong>&nbsp;The transferee must then pay the required GCT or second sales tax on vehicles that are 10 years and more, and based on the cc rating or cwt\/kilo rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5.<\/strong>&nbsp;The transferee, if already in possession of registration plates, must then submit the relevant receipt\/documents for verification to the tax office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6.<\/strong>&nbsp;This must be done before attaching the registration plates to the vehicle purchased. (Note that registration plates are not transferable from person to person and each pair of plates can only be assigned from one vehicle to another by the Collector of Taxes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like any process, potential roadblocks arise if the circumstances under which the transfer is done change. A common one is if a transfer is desired, but the original owner has died. In this case, the will of the deceased person will have to be invoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This process is conducted through the courts, where the will must be probated. Following this, the court will then appoint someone to dispose of the vehicle. That person would then have the authority to make the transfer, through the same procedure outlined above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the event there is no will, the process must go through the Administrator General&#8217;s Department. In this case, a relative of the deceased must present to the department a Death Certificate, as well as proof of relationship. The Administrator General&#8217;s Department will then, like the court, appoint someone to dispose of the motor vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That person will then accompany the buyer to the tax office, where the same procedure previously outlined is adhered to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the transfer, to obtain a Certificate of Title the transferee has to take the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.<\/strong>&nbsp;Complete the &#8216;Application for Motor Vehicle Transaction&#8217; MVO1 form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.&nbsp;<\/strong>Submit your Certificate of Fitness, Registration Certificate and Insurance Certificate of Cover Note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.<\/strong>&nbsp;Pay the required fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4.<\/strong>&nbsp;Collect the title in approximately three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is recommended that persons not wait until they are ready to sell or give away the vehicle to apply for the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For additional information, you may contact the Tax Administration Jamaica Customer Care Centre at 1-888-TAX-HELP (829-4357) or visit the website&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jamaicatax.gov.jm\/\">www.jamaicatax.gov.jm<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Be prepared to provide the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)If you are listing a vehicle that is newer than 1981 the VIN is required.
