Buying a car in Asheville
A few local things worth knowing before you go look at a car.
Mountain miles
Cars that live on hills and winding roads wear brakes, CV joints and transmissions faster. Ask for service records and get a pre-purchase inspection.
Winter roads
Brine and salt on I-40 and I-26 can cause rust underneath. Look at brake lines, the subframe and rocker panels, or put it on a lift.
Paperwork
On a private sale, the seller's signature on the title has to be notarized. Many banks will do it for free when you meet there.

Guides for Asheville buyers
All buying guidesQuestions from Asheville buyers
General information, not legal advice. Rules and fees change, so confirm with NCDMV.
How do I transfer a title when I buy from a private seller in North Carolina?
The seller signs the title over to you, and in North Carolina that signature has to be notarized. You then title and register the car at an NCDMV license plate agency. Check the NCDMV site for current forms and fees before you go.
What taxes do I pay on a used car in North Carolina?
North Carolina charges a Highway Use Tax when you title a car, instead of sales tax. Dealers usually collect it with the sale; on a private sale you pay it at the plate agency. Check NCDMV for the current rate.
Do cars in Buncombe County need an inspection?
North Carolina requires a yearly safety inspection, and some counties, including Buncombe, also require an emissions inspection. Ask the seller when the car was last inspected, and confirm current rules with NCDMV.
Is it free to sell my car in Asheville on OnlyCars?
Yes. Listing is free for private sellers and dealers, with no commissions. You and the buyer agree on payment and pickup yourselves.
Where should I meet a seller in Asheville?
Somewhere public and in daylight. Many banks and credit unions will let you finish the paperwork in the lobby, which also makes a cashier's check easy to verify.
