Cars for Sale by Owner Near Scottsdale, AZ

Purchasing used vehicles can quickly become overwhelming, especially when you have to sort through so many dealership ads, fees, and effort to upsell you. Searching for cars for sale by owner near Scottsdale, Arizona eliminates much of the guesswork and may save you time and money. In many instances private sellers offer fair pricing, vehicle history information, and the ability to deal directly with the owner.

Whether you are new to private vehicle purchases or someone who has bought cars privately before, my goal is to provide you with a guide on everything you need to know to purchase cars that are for sale privately. From why private sales may be better than dealership purchases, to how to complete a seamless ownership transfer in Arizona, I've got you covered.

Why Should I Purchase a Used Car from a Private Seller Instead of a Dealership?

Purchasing a vehicle directly from an owner gives you different options than purchasing from a dealership. Here are some reasons it may be the option for you.

Save Money

When you purchase directly from an owner, you don't pay dealership markups, add-on fees, or commissions. For example, dealerships frequently charge exterior reconditioning fees or offer unnecessary add-on services. Private sellers list cars for sale that are closer to their actual market value than dealerships, and can potentially save you a bunch of money.

Negotiation Trust

Private sellers are generally individuals that are just looking to sell their vehicle, not professionals that know how to negotiate in an aggressive or dishonest manner. You will, in most cases, have an easier negotiation process than at a dealership, without the pressure to sell you additional services or products.

Better Understanding of the Car’s Past

A lot of the time, private owners will give their own personal insights and information on their car’s history and the maintenance of it. Private sellers are usually more frank because they are aware of the car's quirks and past repairs.

Older Models

When it comes to searching for cars by owner for sale, you can typically find older, rare, and unique models a dealership would no longer carry.

Reviewing the History Report of the Vehicle

Prior to buying any private used car for sale, always discover the vehicle’s history to help you safely purchase your new vehicle. These reports provide vital information about:

  • Any past accidents
  • Maintenance records
  • Title issues
  • Odometer discrepancies
  • History of previous owners

KarKiosk has a dedicated tool called KarKiosk’s KarReport; a comprehensive affordable vehicle history report intended to empower buyers. KarReport gives you a report about the actual car you are going to examine, with little to no risk for you; can you believe there offers that?
Make sure to ask for a KarReport from the seller, obtain it yourself (above), and find out any issues.

Get a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI)

One of the most helpful things you can do before purchasing a vehicle from a private seller in Scottsdale, AZ is to get a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI). You will want to make sure the vehicle is mechanically sound prior to relinquishing your hard-earned money. Buyers usually have two options:

Technician Inspection

You can let a trusted, certified mechanic inspect your car for you in person. There are also plenty of mechanics in Scottsdale who can provide you with a better idea of the current condition of the vehicle (and most are probably able to find problems that the average buyer would not notice).

AI-Based Inspection with KarKiosk

KarKiosk also provides an AI-based pre-purchase inspection service. This innovative solution utilizes the latest technology to assess the car's exterior, mechanical parts and even performance history for fast, objective assessments.

Regardless of which way you go, a PPI could save you thousands later in eradicated potential repairs.

Being Safe When Buying From a Private Seller

There are many advantages to buying from a private seller but usually the most important is safety. Here are some tips to make your transaction a safe one:

  • Meet in a Public Place: When meeting a private seller, choose well populated, well-lit areas. For example, coffee shop parking lots or police station's "safe zone."
  • Get a Friend Together: This should go without saying, but you shouldn't go meeting a complete stranger alone. A friend or family member provides back up in case things get hairy. And while they can't do most of the car buying duties for you, they will be an additional set of eyes when you actually make the transaction.
  • Don't Use Cash: You aren't the only person who wants security; having a cashier's check means both parties are more secure than cash alone. If you are making a larger transaction or an expensive used vehicle purchase, consider the use of an escrow service.
  • Take A Peek At The Seller’s Documents: Always check the seller's proof of ownership for the vehicle. Compare the VIN numbers with the documents you were provided and with the KarReport.
  • Test Drive Prudently: If you are intending to take the vehicle for a test drive, take the seller with you or let a trusted person know your location and where you have planned to drive.

Arizona Documentation Requirements

When purchasing a car from a private seller in Arizona, it is essential you have the following documents to successfully transfer ownership.

  • Signed Title: The title to the vehicle must be properly signed by the owner. Be sure to check for any liens or missing signatures.
  • Bill of Sale: A Bill of Sale is not required by law but it is always a good idea to add to the proof of transaction.
  • Emission Test: An emissions test may or may not be required, depending on the age of the car and the regulations of Scottsdale, AZ.
  • VIN Inspection: A VIN Inspection is only required when a car is being registered in Arizona for the first time.
  • Registration and Taxes: Take the signed title to your local Arizona DMV to register the car and pay the title fees and sales tax.

These documents are required to help ensure you don't have any additional complications from the seller's side when taking ownership of the vehicle.

Look at Neighboring Cities to Widen the Search

If you are having trouble finding the right car by owner in Scottsdale you may give some thought to looking at nearby cities. For example, you have:

  • Phoenix: Located only 30 minutes away, Phoenix has a bigger pool of private sellers.
  • Tempe: Tempe has more of a college-town, where you can usually find a big variety of cars that are well maintained and priced under fair market value.
  • Mesa: While searching in Mesa, you will also find some options, and you will see sellers that are doing family upgrades for cars.

When searching in neighboring cities, you may find what you are looking for only minutes from your original search.
