Always look at the original title before you pay 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 the title lists a bank or lender, the seller must give you a signed lien release. You cannot register the car in your name without this official release document.
We strongly advise against buying a car without a title. The seller should apply for a replacement title through the state of Georgia before they try to sell the vehicle to you.
The state does not require a mechanical inspection in Walker County, but we strongly recommend getting one. Take the car to a trusted local mechanic in the Rossville or Fort Oglethorpe area to check the engine, brakes, and transmission before you hand over any cash.
Always ask the seller for the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before you meet up. Run the VIN through a reputable vehicle history report service to check for past accidents, flood damage, or a salvage brand on the title.
You must visit the Walker County Tax Commissioner's office to handle your title and registration. The main office is located a short drive south in the county seat of LaFayette. Check the county website for their current operating hours before you make the trip.
Yes. You must buy active auto insurance for the vehicle before you can legally drive it or register it at the tag office. Your insurance company will send proof of your coverage directly to the Georgia state database.
