Buyer guidance
Have your ID, payment, and any financing paperwork ready before arriving. Bring a pre-purchase inspection report if possible. On the day of sale, verify the VIN on the vehicle matches the title, confirm the odometer reading, and execute all documents before handing over funds.
Legal considerations
Most states require title transfer to be filed within 10–30 days of the sale. Even if the transfer happens on the same day, the buyer typically has a window to present the paperwork at the DMV. Some states (e.g., Ohio, Texas) require the buyer to register within 30 days. Driving without registration or plates (in states where seller retains plates) may be illegal immediately after the sale.
