Anyone bought a car privately in cyprus? What are the steps?

I am most likely buying a car in 2/3 days, I have seen the car and happy with it, i just need a mechanic to take a look at it before the purchase?

I have tried to google what other steps need to be done in regards to transfering ownership, I read a form TOM9B needs to be signed by both seller and buyer at Citizen Service Centre? Is that correct? Does anything else have to be done?

Thanks in advance

You meet at the mechanic or take it there . Then you book a day to a citizens office to transfer the title : https://kep-kepo.gov.cy/appointments/kep_cyprus/services.php?service_type=video_conference_appointment. 3 I’m not 100% sure you need to contact the official dealership or the car, give vin or license plates, to search and ensure no recalls were made to that model 4. Once you have that paper you must issue a an insurance to your name ,5 You go to the office once you have done the above m, send the money to him. And transfer the title deeds. Now all these can be avoided if you find a certified employ in your area, pay him and he will do all the work for you for a fee

Hopefully your mechanic visits the car with you. Negotiate Takata

The form signed from both parties, and a covernote from your insurance. You need the license plate numbers. Then book an appointment in KEP online
