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.
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) check reveals the history of the car. It tells you if the vehicle has a branded title, which means an insurance company previously declared it a total loss, salvage, rebuilt, or flood-damaged. We highly recommend running a VIN check before you hand over any money.
You and the seller must complete the title assignment section on the back of the original title. You need to write your full legal name, your current address, the exact date of sale, and the current odometer reading. Both of you must print and sign your names.
Look at the front of the title for any listed security interests or lienholders. If the previous owner still owes money on the car, you cannot register it. The seller must have these liens officially released in the designated spaces on the title before you buy the vehicle.
