No one wants confusion or chaos when the buyer goes to register the vehicle. It&#8217;s also a good idea to remove your plates and keep your proof of sale for your records. In that way, you won&#8217;t be held responsible for anything that happens with the car after the sale. In short, you can sell a car in Arizona with an expired registration, but you cannot sell it without providing the new owner with a valid title. It is the buyer&#8217;s responsibility to clear the outstanding fees, renew it, and get it registered under his name.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to do when you sell a car with expired tags Even if your registration has expired, you can still transfer ownership, as long as the title is clear and signed over to the buyer.
