Tips on Buying Cars - Appropriate Paperwork for Private Sale


Expert: Ray Paulsen - 9/20/2009

Question
Hi Ray,

I live in South Carolina and I placed an ad online to sell my 2008 BMW 328iC. I have a prospective buyer who lives in New Jersey, and I think she is ready to purchase.

What paperwork do I need in order to sell my car, private party-to-private party, when we meet to make the transaction?

Can you give me step-by-step instructions and where to find the documents I need?

Thanks so much.

Tom
