Can you sell a car without owner present?

In most cases, it is not possible to sell a car without the owner being present. The person selling the car must be the owner or have legal authority to sell the car on behalf of the owner. This is to ensure that the person selling the car has the right to do so and that the car is not stolen or encumbered by any debts or liens.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. In some states, it is possible to sell a car without the owner present if the owner has signed a power of attorney giving someone else the authority to sell the car. In other cases, it may be possible to sell a car without the owner present if the car is being sold to a dealer or other business.

However, it is always best to have the owner present when selling a car. This will help to avoid any potential problems or complications.

Here are some tips for selling a car without the owner present:

* Make sure you have the owner's permission to sell the car.

* Get a power of attorney from the owner if necessary.

* Provide the buyer with a copy of the title and registration.

* Disclose any known defects in the car.

* Be prepared to answer questions about the car.

* Negotiate a fair price for the car.

* Sign the necessary paperwork.

* Transfer the title to the buyer.
