I am planning on buying a used vehicle privately. But it needs a bit of work before it will pass a safety check. Nothing major, but cash is tight and I may have to wait a few weeks before I can do the repairs.
In the mean time, I want to put my current car up for sale, and keep driving it until either someone buys it (in which case I can fix the newer one right away) or I have the new one ready to go.
But the whole process of transfering ownership, insurance, getting the safety test, and still driving my old car is confusing me.
If I transfer the ownership right away, the car becomes unfit. Then I have to have it towed to the mechanic to do the safety test?
What is the proper order of fixing the car, transfering ownership, transfering insurance from my old car to newer one, etc?
