Used Car Paperwork Checklist

what to get in writing before you pay

A lot of bad used-car stories start with the paperwork, not the engine: a price that changed, a title that never came, or a warranty that covered less than promised. Go through this before you hand over money.

What's inside:

  • 1. Before you pay a deposit
  • 2. If you finance through the dealer
  • 3. The title and the tag
  • 4. The warranty and every promise
  • 5. The car's history
  • 6. The car itself
