Hi Automotive board!

I am looking to buy a used vehicle from a private seller in Utah. I live in Texas. The vehicle is an 80's model collector type vehicle.

Can anybody give me advise on how to do the title exchange, especially out of state? I found a mechanic to go do a prebuy inspection. Assuming the vehicle is in the condition I believe, I need advise about how to do the title check and the sell agreement.

Ah, good catch. Placed the link in my post.

Thanks. I saw the 130 form on the TXDOT website. A few other questions. Do I pay sales tax in Utah? What about insurance and license plate? And do I create a Bill of sale from a website like forms.com, or is there a specific one from each state?

You'll pay taxes and get plates when you go to the tax assessor-collector and submit your title paperwork.

Any bill of sale will suffice, be sure to include:

• date
• seller & address
• buyer & address
• sales price
• make & model
• VIN

If you plan to drive it back, and the current owner takes the plates, you can get a 30 day temp tag from the Texas DMV website. That'll give you enough time to get it back to Texas and inspected/registered.

Most insurance policies will cover a new purchase for XX days before having to add the vehicle to the policy. You might check with yours. I've also had vehicles I didn't have the title to covered under my insurance. No idea what would have happened if I had an accident, but the state never had any issues with it.

Advice>advise.

Sheesh! I've been worrying my spelling was going awry due to autocorrect.

run a carfax and make sure the title number on the last recorded title matches the one the seller has


now let's guess... Porsche 911?

Your spelling is fine. It's your grammar that needs some help.
