FAQs about Cars for Sale by Owner

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. This is especially true for the high-end luxury or performance cars common in Scottsdale, where repairs can be costly. Ensure the inspection covers the cooling system and AC, given the intense desert heat.

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 directly.

How do I handle the title transfer in Scottsdale, AZ? toggle

To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the title. In Arizona, this signature must be notarized to be legally valid. You can find notary services at most banks in Scottsdale or at authorized third-party MVD providers. Once you have the signed and notarized title, you must take it to an MVD office or an authorized provider to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.

Is an emissions test required in Scottsdale, AZ? toggle

Yes. Scottsdale is located within the Maricopa County vehicle emissions control area (Area A).
1. The Rule: Most vehicles that are more than five years old require a passing emissions test to be registered.
2. What to check: Ask the seller for the current Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR). If the test is valid, you can use it to register the car.
3. If expired: If the emissions test has expired, you will need to take the vehicle to an emissions testing station. There are several stations conveniently located in and around the Scottsdale area.

Do I need a Bill of Sale for the transaction? toggle

While Arizona law does not mandate a Bill of Sale to process a title transfer at the MVD, creating one is highly recommended. A Bill of Sale serves as your legal receipt and proof of the purchase price and date, protecting you from potential disputes. A proper Bill of Sale should include:
1. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
2. The vehicle's make, model, and year
3. The final sale price and the date of the transaction
4. The printed names and signatures of both the buyer and seller
