Buying a used car from a private seller in Maine

Title transfers in Maine are handled by your town office and the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Before you pay, check that the name on the title matches the seller's ID, that there is no lien listed, and that the VIN on the title matches the VIN on the dashboard and door jamb. Always get a written bill of sale with the date, price, VIN and both signatures.

Maine vehicles must pass an annual safety inspection, and rust is the number-one issue — check the frame, brake lines and rocker panels.

Rules and fees change; confirm current requirements with your town office and the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles before you buy.
