Buying a used car from a private seller in Washington
Title transfers in Washington are handled by the Washington State Department of Licensing. 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.
Washington buyers must transfer the title within 15 days of purchase to avoid penalties. Western Washington's damp climate can cause moss and rust on older vehicles.
Rules and fees change; confirm current requirements with the Washington State Department of Licensing before you buy.
