Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. Good options in the Florence area include:
1. The parking lot of the Phoenix Police Department Headquarters on W. Washington St. (a short drive away).
2. A busy retail parking lot, such as the Park Central shopping area.
3. The public parking areas of Encanto Park during daytime hours.
Before paying, carefully inspect the title document. Ensure the seller’s name on the title matches their government-issued ID. Critically, verify that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the title perfectly matches the VIN on the car’s dashboard and driver-side door jamb.
A lien means a lender still has a financial claim on the vehicle. You can check for liens for free on the AZ MVD Now website using the car's VIN. If a lien exists, the seller must provide you with a lien release document from the lender before you can get a clear title.
To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the title. In Arizona, this signature must be notarized to be valid. You can find notary services at local banks, the county administrative offices, or authorized third-party MVD providers in Florence. Once you have the signed and notarized title, take it to the local MVD office or an authorized provider to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.
For a comprehensive overview of the car's past, consider getting a vehicle history report from KarKiosk. This is crucial for checking if the vehicle has been in an accident in dense city traffic, has a salvage title, or has odometer discrepancies.
No. The person whose name is on the title as the owner must be the one to sign it in front of the notary and present their photo ID. The notary’s job is to verify the identity of the signer directly to prevent fraud.
If the seller cannot find the title, they must apply for a duplicate title from the Arizona MVD before they can legally sell the vehicle to you. Do not exchange money for a car without receiving a properly signed and notarized title in hand.
