Hi,
As the title says what is the procedure to buy a used car from private seller, After we have discussed the price and got the car checked with mechanic, how do i proceed?
Whats the best option to pay?
Should they or I fill any form?
What will be the proof that i paid for the car?
Other then Rego what will be the proof that i own the car or is that the only thing required?
And any other tips or forms or documents i need to finalise the car?
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
however be careful with bank cheque's, they can be cancelled by the bank
The bank can cancel a bank cheque if it has been altered, but the bank can't just cancel the cheque for no reason.
Get the VIN number and pay the $4 to do a check to see if car is under finance because if it is and is not paid out then you take over the payments on top of handing over the initial money for the car
From the ops profile it looks like he is in Sydney.
As well as the answers provided above spend some time reading through the posts on here…

Don't just post a question straight off as you will find most have been answered many times. There is a search button on the left.
Remember, with a private sale you have no warranty of any kind and no guarantee of title, it is up to you to be sure of that.
I see you have already utilised that avenue… http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2354554
Double dipping.
Car's a DUD after MTA Check, so no longer needed.
Hi,
Legally it really depends on the state you live in.
Look at the local Road Authority, like Vicroads etc.

Make sure you verify every detail on the form.
Check VIN number, check sellers drivers license.
Write a simple separate sales contract.
Eg The vicroads transfer form only says that you are now paying rego, without a basic sales contract it is still his.
Sales contract should include buyer and seller details including Drivers license and car type, colour, VIN.
Paying, you could pay by cash or bank cheque. for the seller I would however be careful with bank cheque's, they can be cancelled by the bank. You have a few days clearance, as opposed to what most people think.
As the buyer that is not your concern if the seller accepts bank cheque.
Cheers
