How do I sell a car in SC?
I’m from South Carolina. I’m looking to sell my old Land Rover and buy a new Jeep, but I’ve never sold a car before. What’s the best way to sell a car in SC?

“Selling a car in South Carolina is actually a relatively simple process. Once you find an interested buyer and exchange payment, just sign the title over to them.
On the back of the title, include the following information:
- Odometer reading at the time of sale
- Purchase date
- Selling price
After your car is sold, you’ll need to notify the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles and complete a Notice of Vehicle Sold (SCDMV Form 416), which can be found on their website. Then, mail it to the following address:
SCDMV
Mail-in Registration
PO Box 1498
Blythewood, SC 29016-0036
If the buyer is making payments on the vehicle, they will need to complete section F of the Title Application (SCDMV Form 400). You will be considered the lienholder for that vehicle and retain possession of the title until the buyer has paid in full. At that point, they will have a clean title.
Don’t forget—you’ll want to
cancel your insurance
once the buyer takes the car. Canceling insurance is usually as simple as calling your insurance agent and asking them about their cancellation process.When you buy your new Jeep, consider shopping for new coverage using the
