To verify the title, makes sure the seller has a clean title in their name. Alabama requires a title for vehicles manufactured after 1975. Check for any liens on the title, as these must be cleared before the car can be legally sold.
Make sure to inspect vehicle’s exterior, interior, and under the hood for signs of wear, rust, or damage. Look for any red flags that could indicate costly repairs. If possible, have a trusted mechanic inspect the car before finalizing the purchase.
In Alabama, you’ll need to pay sales tax when registering a vehicle and this can range from 2% to 4% depending on the county. You must also transfer the title and register the car at your local DMV within 20 days of purchase.
Alabama doesn’t have any emissions testing requirements, but you should make sure the car meets safety standards and is roadworthy before purchasing.
