2.) Travel to Richmond with someone to drive the vehicle you are in or the vehicle you are buying home.
3.) Write out a bill of sale, make sure the vin on the title matches with the vin on the car.
4.) Sign the bill of sale
5.) Pay the man his money
6.) Drive car home.
7.) Title car at DMV

go get the car.
make sure he signed the title.
GET INSURANCE BEFORE DMV. (just go to your insuance agent give the VIN)
go to dmv and they will transfer the title and you will have to pay a fee which is a small percentage of what you paid for the car or $45
drive the car.

lol........thanks for clarifying that. but what do i need from him as far as him selling the car to me? what proof do i need to give to the insurance company. by the way he got it from an auction at a goodwill or something like that not from a car dealership . does that matter?
thanks
thanks
