Procedures and Requirements in Buying a Government-Owned vehicle

[russpogi]

Is anyone aware on the procedures and requirements in buying a Government-Owned vehicle?

Example, let's say government agency/office/corporation decides to sell the vehicle. Naturally, it will possess red-colored plates (usually starts with S). What are the things needed to be done to process change of ownership, and eventually transfer the vehicle to a private individual, which is will be then the new owner?

Does the plates needs to be surrendered and replaced with the current series private (green-colored) plates? Or, does the new owner keep the plates and eventually registers as a private vehicle (red plate, green registration stickers).

Any insights?

Ah ok. I know someone kse that privately owns a car with red-plates. Di pa daw nya napapapalitan ng green.

But for discussion's sake, what is the procedure in doing so?
