Buying a used car from a private seller in New York
Title transfers in New York are handled by the New York State DMV. 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.
New York requires a safety (and in many areas emissions) inspection. Upstate vehicles see heavy road salt — check carefully for rust.
Rules and fees change; confirm current requirements with the New York State DMV before you buy.
