How to buy a used car from a private seller in Laredo
- Compare prices. Look at several listings with similar year and mileage, in Laredo and in nearby cities, to know what a fair price is.
- Ask for the VIN before you meet, and run a vehicle history report to check for accidents, flood damage and odometer issues.
- Meet safely in a public place, ideally a police "safe exchange" zone, during the day.
- Inspect and test drive. Use our inspection checklist, and for any car over a few thousand dollars, pay a local mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection.
- Check the paperwork. The name on the title must match the seller's ID, with no lien listed and a VIN that matches the car.
- Pay safely with a cashier's check or at the seller's bank. Never wire money or pay with gift cards — read how to avoid Craigslist car scams.
- Transfer the title through your county tax assessor-collector (Texas DMV).
