Person to person car sales increased, and with that trend upsurge, so did the number of queries surrounding the process. People were hungry for information, wanting to know everything from which make and model to pursue, to what price tag was reasonable, to how to actually complete a private purchase without the guidance of a dealership.<\/p>\n<p>Though we\u2019re seeing a broadening in the availability of new cars, and the slow balance of the outrageous sticker prices, the used car trend endures today (in early 2024) in the sunny state of Florida; many drivers continue to choose pre-owned vehicles over brand new ones.\u00a0 And while here at eTags we have no real preference for new cars over used ones, or vice versa, we do know a thing or two about the automotive world.\u00a0 So we thought we\u2019d compile a little checklist of things to keep in mind when buying a used car in Florida.\u00a0 Because as the old adage goes: \u201cKnowledge is Power.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Hone in the vehicle make, model, and year you\u2019re interested in, and do a bit of research. Were there any lemons in that batch? What do other drivers report on that particular vehicle? Were there any manufacturer recalls? Can changing the year affect gas mileage or resell value?<\/li>\n<li>What is the price point for the car\/truck you\u2019d like? Take a peek at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kbb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KBB.com<\/a> for a great reference when it comes to getting a solid idea of what the vehicle is worth.<\/li>\n<li>Once you\u2019ve found a seller, take the car for a spin. The best way to know if a shoe fits is to try it on\u2026the same goes for vehicles and drivers. Get behind the wheel and get a feel. How does it brake and accelerate? Are the seats comfortable? Does the dash or console vibe with you?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-23661 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/buy-car-with-title-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Buying a car with certificate of title\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/buy-car-with-title-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/buy-car-with-title-1160x773.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/buy-car-with-title-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/buy-car-with-title-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/buy-car-with-title-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/buy-car-with-title-90x60.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/buy-car-with-title-320x213.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/buy-car-with-title-560x373.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/buy-car-with-title-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/buy-car-with-title-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At this point, we\u2019d like to recommend a few health and safety tips when buying a car via private sale:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Be sure the car is titled. Both a paper title and an e-title are acceptable in the state of Florida. If a paper title is presented, check for any signs of alteration. A paper title must be in excellent condition in order to be transferred. If the seller has an electronic, or e-title, then he will need to go with you to the DMV to complete the transfer.<\/li>\n<li>Verify that the owner named on the front of the title is the same as the name on the government-issued ID of the seller.<\/li>\n<li>Compare the VIN on the title to the VIN etched on the vehicle itself. Again, be cautious about anything that looks like it may have been modified.<\/li>\n<li>A quick check over at a site like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carfax.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carfax.com<\/a> can help you ascertain whether the car has had any extensive damage \u2013 this is important, as you may not be able to tell this visually or just from a test drive.<\/li>\n<li>Give the ignition and door locks a once-over. Any signs of tampering could signal a break-in.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re not super car savvy, (and maybe even if you are) bring the car to a trusted mechanic, or request that the seller provide some sort of official report that the vehicle is in good health. There\u2019s a no-return policy with private sales, so it\u2019s good to be sure right at the start.<\/li>\n<li>You may also be required to obtain an odometer statement that reflects the most current mileage \u2013 this is if the title has no place to fill in this information. Keep in mind that any corrections to the odometer section (such as erasures or cross-outs) will render the title defaced and will then require the seller to obtain a duplicate title to sign over to you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If all of the above is in order, you are well on your way to claiming your new ride!\u00a0 Here are the next steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Pay your seller and be sure to obtain a sales receipt\/bill of sale.<\/li>\n<li>Have the seller sign over the title to you. Obviously, we\u2019re here to help with this part, so feel free to head over to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/title-transfer?utm_source=blog-post\">eTags.com\/title-transfer<\/a> and we can help with the entire transfer process.<\/li>\n<li>Next you will need to register your new vehicle in your name, as well as pay state taxes and fees. Once again, we got you! You can use the same link listed above to transfer a plate you already own, order new registration, or even treat yourself to some specialty or personalized plates. (Go Heat, anyone?!)<\/li>\n<li>Before you will be permitted to register your vehicle and get new tags, you will need to procure Florida auto insurance that is current and valid at the time you apply for registration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Not too bad, huh? Of course there may be an additional nuance here or there that you happen to discover along the path of buying a pre-owned vehicle in the Sunshine State, but the above checklist should have you sitting pretty for your next casual purchase of a car, truck, or SUV in Florida.\u00a0 And for any questions regarding title transfer, new or transferred registration, registration renewal, replacing lost plates or stickers, or just about anything vehicle related, you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n<p>Get in touch with our stellar customer support team any time Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM EST here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/support\">eTags.com\/support<\/a>.\u00a0 Though we\u2019ve probably said this thousands of times, it bears repeating (again): At eTags, we\u2019re here to help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unless you were living under a rock (or were solely reliant on public transportation) during those peculiar years from 2020 to 2022, you were probably aware of the sudden shortage&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":23659,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1592,5],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-23654","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-car-buying","8":"category-florida"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Buying a Used Car in Florida?
