Buying a car in Skyland

A few local things worth knowing before you go look at a car.

Get it inspected

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose costs far less than one surprise repair. Ask for service records too.

Check the VIN

Run the VIN through a history report and the free NHTSA recall lookup before you go see the car.

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.

Questions from Skyland 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.

Is it free to sell my car in Skyland 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 Skyland?

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.
