Buying a Used Car

When buying a car from an individual seller, it’s probably a used car. Purchasing a used car is not always a bad thing! You will save a significant amount of money if you do so. For starters, used cars cost a lot less than a brand-new car. You will pay less in sales taxes and car insurance for a used car. It is also cheaper to register a used car than a new car in many states. It’s a good thing that now these days there is an easy way to check the history of the vehicle. When you decide to buy a used car, it is essential to obtain a vehicle history report. Even though a vehicle history report does not identify all possible causes for concern associated with a particular used car, it adds to peace of mind when purchasing one.

Bill of Sale and Title of Ownership

Typically when you purchase a used car from an individual, you will complete a bill of sale with the seller. A bill of sale is the legal document of a vehicle sold, including the price of the car that was sold. Usually, during the sale the seller will also sign over the title for the vehicle as well. The title for a car serves as legal proof of ownership of the car. The title for a car is also known as a certificate of title or pink slip. The car title contains a description of the car, the vehicle identification number, and details of the owner. Additionally, the title includes the reported mileage for the car. If you did not get a title during the sale with your bill of sale, you may still be able to get a title for the car in your state. However, not all states allow this and the requirements involved in obtaining your title of ownership can be challenging.
