Since you\u2019re not dealing with a dealership, you need to be extra cautious to ensure the purchase is in your best interest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles requires you to have a state dealer license if you sell three or more cars in a 12-month period. Plus, remember, Florida doesn\u2019t have a Lemon Law for used cars which typically compensates buyers for products failing to meet standards of quality and performance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To protect yourself when you\u2019re buying a car from a private seller, there are a few things you can do before and after the sale to verify if the car you have your eye on has a valid Florida title. First, it\u2019s important to inspect the car in general, making sure it runs properly and to your liking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/app\/fl?utm_source=digibanner_never\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"200\" class=\"wp-image-13374 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/NEVER-IN-LINE-ALWAYS-ONLINE-3.png\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/200;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Check if the vehicle is on a recall list by entering the vehicle identification number (VIN) at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/recalls\">https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/recalls<\/a> You should find the VIN on the lower left of the car\u2019s windshield or on the registration card if the private seller has it with him when you\u2019re inspecting the car. Look for a 17-digit number and enter it online for recalls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Verify the odometer, making sure that the mileage number on the vehicle maintenance records match the odometer. If there are inconsistencies, there may be odometer fraud. There\u2019s an odometer disclosure on Florida titles. Both buyer and seller will have to acknowledge the mileage record on the title transaction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Pay extra attention to doors, windows, and trunk to look for signs of break-ins, vandalism or other. If there\u2019s an etched VIN somewhere, make sure it\u2019s the same as what\u2019s on the title you\u2019ll be presented with during inspection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The private seller\u2019s driver\u2019s license information should match the Florida title. If it\u2019s a paper title, look closely to ensure it hasn\u2019t been tampered with. If it\u2019s an electronic title, you can always <a href=\"https:\/\/services.flhsmv.gov\/MVCheckWeb\/\">verify Florida ownership <\/a>\u00a0(VIN + Title check)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If the title given to you is a Florida title or if the vehicle has Florida plates (even though the title is from another state) you can still use the VIN check above. For vehicles titled in another state, you\u2019d have to search for a DMV page on that state&#8217;s website that provides and confirms the same information as the Florida VIN check page.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When using <a href=\"https:\/\/services.flhsmv.gov\/MVCheckWeb\/\">https:\/\/services.flhsmv.gov\/MVCheckWeb\/<\/a> (Florida VIN check page) for a vehicle that already has a Florida title, you should also check the title number. If the title number on the paper title you\u2019re given is different from the title number on the Florida VIN check page, the seller is not providing the most current title. In other words, VIN on title and VIN on vehicle should match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re buying a vehicle with an electronic Florida title, the seller is supposed to go with the you to the DMV to complete the transfer since there\u2019s no paper title to sign over. Alternatively, the seller can provide you \u00a0(the buyer) with a notarized bill of sale so that you can complete the transfer on your own. But know that this method may be rejected by some DMV offices who absolutely require presence of the seller or the signed paper title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to remove plates, as in Florida, plates stay with the seller no new buyer. At this time, the seller can transfer the plate to a new vehicle they buy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Next, as the buyer, you have to complete a Florida title transfer. You can do it online with etags.com to avoid taking time off from work or spending time waiting in long lines. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/app\/fl\">Just select Transfer Title\/ Registration<\/a> on our Florida online vehicle services page.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Or you can both (seller and buyer) go together to your local DMV. The seller will have to complete the Transfer of Title by Seller section on front of title certificate, while you (the buyer) completes an Application for Certificate with\/Without registration form. You\u2019ll have to attach that form to the title and submit to a motor vehicle service center to transfer title. Remember, the purchase price of your vehicle doesn\u2019t include sales tax or tag and title fees. You have 30 days to avoid a penalty fee.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated on April 27, 2020So you want to buy a vehicle from a private seller in Florida.
