How to Sell a Car in Georgia Online: Documents, Price, Listing | Unlim.ge

To sell a car in Georgia online, get your documents and the car ready, compare prices with similar listings, post an ad with good photos and the VIN, and transfer ownership at the Public Service Hall or the Service Agency. You can list a car on Unlim.ge for free and only pay if you want to boost the ad. This guide is written with expats in mind, including those selling a car before moving on, but the steps are the same for everyone.

Step 1. Get the documents ready

• Vehicle registration certificate in your name.
• Your passport or ID, needed for the ownership transfer.
• The VIN. Local buyers usually check it in the state database, so put it in the listing from the start.
• Service history and repair receipts, if you have them.

If the car is under a loan, used as collateral or registered to someone else, check the procedure first. If you plan to leave Georgia soon, start early so the transfer is not rushed.

Step 2. Prepare the car

• Wash the outside and clean the interior.
• Fix small obvious issues: bulbs, wipers, fluids.
• Gather spare keys, extra tyres and papers for any add-ons.
• Be honest about defects. A scratch you mention is better than an argument at the viewing.

Step 3. Set the price

Look at cars of the same make, model, year and similar mileage in the Cars category. Compare:

• Condition and trim level. Options can move the price a lot.
• Import history. Buyers in Georgia often ask where the car came from.
• Currency. Cars are often priced in US dollars here, so state the currency clearly.

Leave a little room for bargaining. Buyers will almost always ask.

Step 4. Write the listing

1. Choose the Cars category and your city.
2. Title: make, model, year, engine and gearbox.
3. Daylight photos: front, back, both sides, interior, dashboard with mileage, engine bay and close-ups of any defects.
4. Description: mileage, servicing, replaced parts, any accidents, reason for selling.
5. Price with currency and whether it is negotiable.
6. Add a Georgian or Russian version of the text to reach local buyers. Unlim.ge works in Georgian, Russian and English, on the site and in the iOS and Android apps.

Step 5. Viewing, payment and transfer

• Show the car in daylight in a busy place. Keep the documents and spare key with you during test drives.
• Agree to a mechanic check if the buyer asks. Serious buyers usually do.
• Avoid deposit and refund tricks, and never share SMS codes.
• Transfer ownership with both parties present at the Public Service Hall or Service Agency, and get paid before or at the moment of signing, for example by bank transfer at a branch.

Required documents and fees change, so check the current rules with the agency before the deal.
