Ask the seller to show you the original title and their driver's license. Check that the name on the title matches their ID exactly. Ensure there are no active liens listed on the front of the title, or that any listed liens have a release stamp or letter.
A valid bill of sale must include the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), vehicle year and make, the exact purchase price, the date of sale, and the printed names, addresses, and signatures of both the buyer and the seller.
You should always hire a trusted, independent mechanic to inspect a used car before buying it. Private sales in Georgia are strictly "as-is," meaning you have no legal recourse if the car breaks down on your drive home.
You must pay the Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT) when you title the vehicle. The rate is a flat percentage of the fair market value of the vehicle, which may differ from the price you actually paid the seller.
No. You pay the TAVT to the Pierce County Tax Commissioner when you submit your paperwork to title and register the vehicle.
