Buying a car may be a thrilling and exciting experience. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of buying a new car. Here are a few suggestions to help you stay safe during this process.

1. If someone claims to work for a dealer and you are not at their location, ask to see their dealer license. Illegal vehicle dealers may claim to be employees of a reputable dealership. Make a phone contact to confirm this, especially if you are considering a purchase from someone you met through a newspaper or online marketing site like Craigslist.
2. Always request a copy of the vehicle’s title. In Vermont, all automobiles 15 years old or newer must be titled. A vehicle cannot be registered without a title, and selling a vehicle without a title is prohibited. Don’t be duped if someone tells you the title is at home or at the bank. Without a title, no sale!
3. Check the title to discover if the car has ever been labeled as salvaged, repaired, or totalled. Vehicles having branded titles such as salvaged, rebuilt, totaled, flood car, reconstructed, and so on are worth around half the book value of the same vehicle without a branded title. It is prohibited in Vermont to sell a car without revealing this information verbally and in writing on the bill of sale and other relevant selling paperwork prior to the transaction.
4. Inquire if the odometer reading on the vehicle is correct. If the odometer reading on a vehicle is incorrect, the car must be declared “true mileage unknown.” Vehicles in this condition are typically valued about half of their book value. Furthermore, if the odometer does not work properly, the car cannot be examined in Vermont.
5. Request that your mechanic examine the vehicle. It never hurts to have a fully experienced auto technician inspect a vehicle before purchasing it. This can save you time, money, and aggravation while also ensuring that the vehicle is safe and meets all Vermont safety inspection criteria.
6. Check the inspection sticker on the car. If the vehicle has a Vermont inspection sticker, make sure it is valid and has been allocated to the vehicle. By checking the make, year, and vehicle identification number on the sticker on the inside of the car, you can confirm that it corresponds to the automobile you want to buy.
7. When purchasing a vehicle from a dealer, ensure sure it has a Buyer’s Guide. “ Under federal and Vermont law, all used vehicles must display a Buyer’s Guide in one of their windows when they are for sale. The Buyer’s Guide will tell you whether the vehicle comes with a warranty or is being sold “as is.” “As is,” means exactly that, and if you have a problem after the transaction, you have little options.
8. Enter the car identification number into a Carfax, Autocheck, or equivalent online vehicle enquiry. Although the Vermont DMV does not promote any specific on-line car history seller, we believe it can be a useful tool when evaluating the purchase of a vehicle. In general, these reports will provide a thorough history of a car and alert a prospective buyer to potential difficulties such as branded titles, odometer errors, and prior crashes.
9. Inquire with the seller if the vehicle you’re interested in has ever been in an accident. Just because a vehicle title isn’t branded doesn’t imply it hasn’t been in an accident. An insurance company may have never deemed a vehicle involved in a collision a total loss. In such circumstances, the title will remain brand-free. If a vehicle has been in a collision, it may have structural integrity issues that must be addressed by a professional automotive technician.
