Generally, no. private party vehicle sales in Arizona are typically exempt from the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT), which is the state's equivalent of sales tax. This rule applies to transactions between private individuals, offering significant savings over buying from a dealership.
To drive your newly purchased car home or to the MVD office, you must get a "Restricted Use 3-Day Permit." This temporary permit can be easily purchased and printed online through the AZ MVD Now website, which is the most convenient option for Phoenix residents.
Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. Good options in Phoenix include:
1. The parking lots of one of the many Phoenix Police Department precinct stations.
2. Busy shopping centers like Desert Ridge Marketplace, Biltmore Fashion Park, or major retail areas along Camelback Road.
In Arizona, a title transfer isn't official until the paperwork is processed. To start, the seller must sign the back of the title. Crucially, their signature must be notarized. You don't necessarily have to be present when they sign, but the document must bear a notary stamp. You can find notaries at most banks throughout Phoenix or at authorized third-party MVD providers. Once you have the signed and notarized title, visit an MVD office or a third-party service provider to officially transfer the title into your name.
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.
