Im getting an evo from a memeber on this site. How does signing over a title work? Im paying cash

 

Make sure they bring the title and sign it EXACTLY how their drivers license is signed (frist, middle last name, however its signed).

 

Thats all i have to do? He just signs his name on the title? What do i do?

 

depending on the state, you will need a bill of sale, DMV transfer of ownership forms, and whatever else is needed to transfer title to your name.

I would suggest google your DMV for the state you are registering in.

 

Bill of sale should be signed regardless of the state requirement or not

I (seller) agree to sell the (car year / make / model here) of VIN# (vin here) to (buyers name here) for the price of (selling price here). the car is being sold as-is with no warranty expressed or implied

(seller's signature) (date)
(buyer's signature) (date)

basic bill of sale and pretty much what i write when i make bill of sales. make/bring two copies, one for you and one for seller

him signing the title is him releasing interest of the car. you don't sign anything on the title afaik. when you go to register the car you will need the title and possible a bill of sale

i've sold cars without titles before but i would never buy a car without a title. if he doesn't have the title in hand and with no lien on the car, dont buy it

 

I'd even take it a step further and have the bill of sale notarized.

 

make sure to get everything notorized for such a big purchase if u have any questions I'm sure any close by dealership or DMV will guide u in the right direction

 

Im getting paperwork from my aunt whose worked at dealerships her whole life. Thanks all

 

still, might as well get it notarized

 

How do i go about that

 

Look in the phone book for a notary public, try and find one that will come out to were you are. Some will. Check their fee`s out.

 

Most banks have a notary onsite who will notarize for a few bucks.

 

In AR, title has to be signed by both party's. Also the title is used as both the bill of sale and title. I still do a bill of sale on my sales tho.

Most states no not require a notary. You will also have to list purchase price of said car. Some states value tag prices by price paid for car, some go by book value of car. In AR if the car is under 4900 (paid) then tags are 25 bucks. 5k and up go's by a percentage of the paid value.
