When buying a car from a private person, you should always check if the car is being stolen. If you neglect this rule, you can lose your car and money in the future, and in addition, in an unfavorable combination of circumstances, become an accomplice in a crime.

Instructions
Step 1
Inspect the purchased car and negotiate a price with its owner. If the seller assures you that the car was not purchased on credit, find out the phone number of the salon (from the service book, from the reference book or via the Internet) and call. Introduce yourself and indicate that you want to buy a car that was bought from this store without a loan. The salon manager who answered your call will ask you to give the VIN number of the car and only then will he provide you with information about the car.
Step 2
Take the vehicle registration certificate and check the body number on it with that of the car you are purchasing. Checking the engine number when registering with the traffic police was canceled on April 3, 2011.
Step 3
If so far everything is in order, ask the seller to show you his identification documents. Rewrite, just in case, the full name, number and series indicated in the passport. However, if the seller does not want to show you your passport, it is better to refuse the purchase.
Step 4
After familiarizing yourself with the owner's documents, invite him to drive the purchased car with you to the nearest traffic police post in order to check all the data specified in the documents for the car on the basis of internal affairs. This will help you find out if the vehicle is being stolen. Carefully observe the seller's reaction, and even if he agreed to ride with you to the traffic police post, do not leave money and valuables in the car while you communicate with the traffic police officers.
Step 5
Park the car near the checkpoint so that its license plates are clearly visible to the traffic police officers on duty. Contact them with a request to verify the numbers and other data of the car you want to purchase. They should do this for free, but since such bases are always congested, they may have to pay a small fee and speed up the check-in queue. After all, if you don't check your car, you can lose hundreds and thousands of times more time and money.
Step 6
If the car is not listed in the databases, but for some reason you are still in doubt, contact the forensic department of the Department of Internal Affairs in order to check if the license plates on the car body are broken and the documents are not forged. Pay the state fee and receive a verification report. If the car is "clean", then you can safely conclude a sales contract with its now former owner.
