I have bought and sold many cars in my time. what I like to tell people when they buy a car from me is that they should take it to their regular mechanic before buying it. if they decide to do that I will have them set up a day and time so that we can drive the car down together. if they have a problem after their mechanic looks at it they have nobody to blame but him. FWIW I always take a car or truck I am buying to my mechanic to go over it with a fine tooth comb. they will spot stuff on the lift you or I could not see unless you crawled under it. this is what I do maybe others will have another idea but this is the surest way for me to have the person buying the car rest easy that I am not pulling something over on them. a notary in my state takes care of the title transfers, pretty simple actually. both parties go and sign over the title.hope this is useful
