    Anyone have any ideas how to sell a car that is not taxed or NCTed? It is a 03 with 46,000 miles in good running order! Would prefer to sell it to a garage so that I could get something a little older in good condition in order to reduce my car loan

    Given how hard it is to sell second hand cars at the moment you are only cribling yourself further by not selling your car with a valid NCT cert.

    Potential buyers have so much choice out there at the moment they can afford to be choosy and to be honest if I was looking at a used car that did not have a valid NCT the first thing that comes to mind is that there is potentially something serious wrong with the car that could amount to big money to put right. Very few will take that risk I'd imagine.

    €50 and an hour or two of your time and it's done. Even if it fails for small issues at least you can show a buyer the NCT report and reduce the price accordingly. Can be the difference between selling the car and being stuck with it for a long time.

    BTW a garage would not touch it either, given they are over stocked with their own trade-ins they cannot sell either, they will not want it even with a valid NCT cert I would image.
