It depends on the state you live in, but here in WA state, it works like this:
- Buyer & seller agree on the sale.
- Buyer hands over the money to the seller.
- Seller signs the title stating to transfer it over to the buyer. They must also sign a "bill of sale" stating the terms of the deal (generic forms are available on the 'net).
- Seller reports that a sale has been made (can be done here via the DMV's web site).
At this point the sale is done.
It is up to the buyer to actually file the title transfer documents with the DMV. Now they might get lazy about this, but as long as the seller has already reported the sale to the DMV, it shouldn't be a problem (otherwise, I've read of instances where the buyer never transferred the title, the got a car towed, and so the tow company went after the seller since their name was still on the title).

Why waste time and money with a double-talking private seller when you can buy your dream car from government seized auto online auction, where you can buy a car 90% off Retail Value?

Buyer Beware.. I recomend you avoid Private deals to many pitfalls :; May be stolen , may have liens, unseen damage,over priced.,: no waranty. pay a little more go to a new car dealer. they want you to come back later and buy a new car from ..if they take a lemon in trade they send them to auctions. Or whole sale to brokers.. A used car is for sale because someone doesnt want it. I have had good deals on rental returns
