Question

If you buy a car from a private seller, do you have to pay in full?

Answer 1

Unless you plan on ripping them off , yes , why wouln`t you pay the agreed upon price?

Answer 2

Your name fits

Answer 3

not necessarily. depends on the transaction both parties may want to agree on. also read the ownership paper closely.

Answer 4

Ordinarily, one would pay the negotiated price in full with the exchange of the auto title. I have had only one instance and that was cash for title with a clause for " as is" condition. One is better off paying a little more for a used vehicle from a reputable dealer who does extend the warranty beyond the expiration date.

Answer 5

If you are asking if you can ask the seller to let you make payments, or give you a loan, the answer is yes, you can ask but any intelligent seller won't do it, especially with a stranger.

You should get a loan from a bank or loan company, who will give you a check for the amount of the sale, made out to the seller. Give the check to the seller to pay off the full amount of the price of the car.
