How do you sell a Renault Zoe privately?

[was8v]

If I buy a Renault Zoe and sign up to the battery lease, how do I sell the car privately?

Renault say "just get a sig on a form" and the new owner will take it on.

But what if they sign it with "mickey mouse"?? Will Renault go round to their house in Florida with bailiffs to seize the battery?

Will the potential new owner need to be credit checked by renault before they can buy my car?

All sounds like a major headache.

Can I sell the car without a battery and return the battery to Renault?

I'd love to get one, but this battery lease just sounds like a massive headache (and wallet ache).

£77/month for 10 years is £9240, I'd rather pay for a battery upfront and have something to weigh in after 5-10 years than sign up to the lease.

No idea but don't over complicate matters. It's just a credit agreement. It's easy enough to buy or sell cars privately that have been on finance; once you have terminated your contract with Renault, it's the new owners problem to get signed up not yours.

Signing up at new was simple. Yes there is a credit check. People rent houses and transfer utility bills every day of the week. This is similar- just on a car. I am sure in time it will seem simple.

It's just the new way of doing things and is why the zoe is less than half the price of an i3 . All business expense and when lease expires you can hand back or sell it on. If new owner doesn't pay Renault can remotely turn off battery charging.
