FAQs about Cars for Sale by Owner

How do you verify the title and ownership of a vehicle in Alabama? toggle

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.

What should I inspect when buying a car from a private seller? toggle

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.

What taxes and fees should I expect when buying a car in Alabama? toggle

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.

Are there emissions or safety requirements for cars in Alabama? toggle

Alabama doesn’t have any emissions testing requirements, but you should make sure the car meets safety standards and is roadworthy before purchasing.
