<prompt> Human: So I found a used car on craigslist and ended up meeting up with the guy. I took it for a test drive and it seemed great but he said he doesnt own the title yet. He needs to pay 3200 more to own the car and he is selling it for 7600. I am trying to write up some sort of document stating that I am paying 3200 up front for him to get the title overnight shipped and then I will pay the remaining 4400 once I receive the title.What should this document consist of?  <response>: Does the bank that holds his car loan have a physical location near by? The absolute best way to do this is to have him call his lender and let them know hes selling the car and then have them move the title to a local branch. Then you meet him at the bank and let them take care of everything.If thats not possible, you should google up examples of a bill of sale that is relevant to your county - there could be different requirements on whats needed based on your location. The bill of sale, at minimum, needs: Year, make, model VIN Sale price Sellers name and date Sellers signature Buyers name and date Buyers signaturePlus whatever else your county wants. You really really really need to make sure this gets notarized. I wouldnt count on getting the title mailed overnight anywhere. Ive bought and sold a ton of used cars and have never seen a lender move the title faster than 3 business days. A week or two is typical. While youre waiting for the title youll probably varies by state and county need the bill of sale to be notarized in order to get temporary registration.
