Get the notarized and signed Bill Of Sale with the
Vin and selling price along with the signed
title and take it to your DMV to get it transfered into your name. Don't purchase any vehicle that does not have a
title. Once you have the title than you can go ahead and get the
license plate. You should be able to do this at the same time you get the title.
Make sure the seller verifies that the
tires, wheel bearings and running
lights are all OK along with the wiring connector type and size of trailer ball.
