Buying a used car from a private seller in Michigan

Title transfers in Michigan are handled by the Michigan Secretary of State. 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.

Michigan winters are hard on vehicles. Inspect the frame, subframe, brake and fuel lines for rust before buying.

Rules and fees change; confirm current requirements with the Michigan Secretary of State before you buy.
