Before writing a word, ensure you have these three things confirmed:
The Buyer must add the car to their insurance policy immediately. The Seller should request proof of insurance before handing over the keys.
The seller must physically have the title. Check for liens (unpaid loans). You cannot easily transfer a title if a bank still owns it.
The buyer registers the car, but the seller is listed as a "Lienholder" on the title. The seller then signs off the lien once paid in full. ( Recommended for maximum security ). 4. Finalizing the Deal Signatures: Both parties must sign and date.
Verify the Vehicle Identification Number on the dashboard matches the title.
