Does it have legal effect to sign a vehicle transfer contract without transferring ownership?
It has legal effect. However, it is recommended to transfer ownership, because there is still a risk of leaving home and changing hands again. The Reply of the Supreme People's Court to the Request for Instructions on whether the original owner is liable for the damages caused by the traffic accidents of motor vehicles without going through the transfer formalities for the serial purchase of vehicles [2001] Min Yi He Zi No. 32 Jiangsu Higher People's Court: "Your court's request for instructions on whether the original owner is liable for the damages caused by the traffic accidents of motor vehicles without going through the transfer formalities for the serial purchase of vehicles" Received. It is believed through research that: the serial purchase has not gone through the transfer formalities, and since the vehicle has been delivered, the original owner can neither control the operation of the vehicle nor gain benefits from the operation of the vehicle, so the original owner should not be responsible for the damage caused by the vehicle traffic accident. However, the act of serial purchase without going through the transfer formalities, which violates the relevant administrative regulations, shall be subject to the adjustment of its provisions. Is there anything you don't understand?
