FAQs about Cars for Sale by Owner

How do I verify the vehicle's ownership and title? toggle

Before paying, carefully inspect the title document. Ensure the seller’s name on the title matches their ID. Also, check that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the title perfectly matches the VIN on the car’s dashboard and driver-side door jamb.

How can I check if there is a lien on the car? toggle

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.

What is the best way to check a vehicle's history? toggle

For a comprehensive overview of the car's past, consider getting a vehicle history report from KarKiosk. This can uncover critical information that a seller might not disclose, such as previous accidents, flood damage, odometer rollbacks, or a salvage title brand.

Can a friend or family member get the title notarized for the seller? toggle

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.

How do I handle the title transfer in Mesa? toggle

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 most banks throughout Mesa or at authorized third-party MVD providers. Once you have the signed and notarized title, take it to a local MVD office or an authorized provider to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.

What if the seller lost the title? toggle

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.

Should I get a pre-purchase inspection? toggle

Absolutely. It is always a wise investment to have a trusted independent mechanic inspect the vehicle before you buy. Given the extreme summer heat in Mesa, a thorough inspection should focus on the condition of the AC system, cooling system, and battery health to prevent unexpected repairs.
