Always inspect the original title before paying the seller. Check that the seller's name exactly matches the name printed on the front of the title. Ask to see their driver's license to confirm their identity. If a bank or lender is listed on the title, the seller must provide a signed lien release. You cannot register the car in your name without this official release.
Yes. Paulding County requires mandatory emissions testing for most gasoline-powered passenger vehicles. Georgia law requires the seller to provide a valid, passing vehicle emissions inspection report at the time of the sale. Ensure the certificate is current, as emissions tests are only valid for 12 months.
We strongly advise against buying a car without a title. The seller should apply for a replacement title through the state of Georgia before attempting to sell the vehicle to you.
The state only requires the emissions test in Paulding County, but we strongly recommend getting an independent mechanical inspection. Take the car to a trusted local mechanic to check the engine, brakes, and transmission before you finalize the deal.
Always ask the seller for the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before meeting up. Run the VIN through a reputable vehicle history report service to check for past accidents, flood damage, or a salvage title.
