Paying for the car
Buyers and sellers agree on payment directly — a cashier's check at the buyer's bank or a bank transfer you can confirm before handing over the title are common choices. ZeroDealer never holds or asks for the car payment.
Other costs to know about
- State sales tax and title and registration fees, paid by the buyer at the county tax office (in Texas, 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax).
- Any repairs or a second inspection you choose to arrange yourself.
