Select Cars+Trucks" under the "For Sale" category to see local postings for cars in your area. Browse through the car listings. Click on a title that interest you. Perform a search in the "Search For" dialog box to narrow your choices. Specify your price range and keywords associated with the car you want to find.

Make an Offer to Buy the Car

View the car in person at the arranged time. This should be a mutually agreed upon location, preferably in public and during the day. Decide how much you would like to pay. Even if there is a set price, you can always make a lower offer. Write up a contract once you have set the price. This should be legally binding and stipulate the sale price, car condition and method of payment. Have the owner sign the car's title over to you in person. Retain this document for proof of ownership.
