On its face, how much is this car truly worth?  Be smart! Before you offer for the car, check its VIN online to be sure its not a lemon, or hasn’t been in many accidents. make and offer: the amount you would like to pay ▫the salesperson will likely offer a counteroffer (lower than the sticker price, but higher than your offer) Once the salesperson and customer have accepted (agreed on) a fair price, you are a car owner!

4. You own a car! Now what? The cost of the car is not the only thing you will pay. You will also pay YOUR CITY property taxes on the car. There are lots of online calculators for this. You will pay it EVERY YEAR! You will need proof you paid your taxes, then you can go to the DMV to get your car titled. You cannot drive or sell a car, if it is not titled. This is another expense!
