What should I know when selling my car to a private party?
The answer here is much simpler than you think.You don't have to truthfully answer questions about the car's history, but you should (see Is it unethical to sell a used car without fully disclosing problems you may have experienced?).You can accept whichever payment methods you are comfortable with. Major considerations here would be whether the buyer has the ability (real ability, not legal right) to get back the money via some avenue, e.g. for credit card payments, they could claim a chargeback.Attached to the bottom of the deed for your car, there is a "transfer of ownership" or something, which you need to sign and send to the DMV. You give the rest of the deed to the new owner along with the keys. Also, don't forget to take the car off your insurance.Typically, once you send the bottom portion of the deed to the DMV, give the deed to the party, hand over the keys, and take the money, the deal is done.
If I buy a car from a private owner how do I drive it home,since it won't have a tag/license plate?
I know that when you buy from a dealership they give you a temporary tag, but if I buy from a private owner how do I drive it home since I won't have a temporary tag?
Lets say I was going to buy a used vehicle at 6pm from a private seller, my plan would be to drive it home and put it on my insurance and in my name first thing in the morning. Is that legal to do?
Consider the method used by automobile dealerships:They set up insurance PRIOR to the new owner driving away—they have a legal responsibility to do that, so they don’t get in trouble, should the driver be involved in an accident after they leave the dealership.I would advise contacting your auto insurance company PRIOR to purchasing & driving the car you plan to buy, so they can provide coverage to you and your ‘new’ vehicle, in case something should happen on your way home.To do otherwise leaves you ‘on the hook’ for any costs associated with any possible accident that could happen—regardless of whose fault it might be—if your drive the vehicle prior to getting insurance coverage.Also bear in mind, even if no accidents happen, you could still incur a financial burden if you are stopped by police prior to obtaining insurance coverage, as most U.S. States require proof of insurance to drive a vehicle upon the roads within its jurisdiction.You could also get your question answered by calling your local Department of Motor Vehicles.
