Check with your Dept of Motor Vehicles for procedures on how to handle.
If buying from a private party, they should have the title, and you need to look at it to confirm that the VIN on the title matches the RV, that the title doesn't contain any brands like salvage, rebuilt, etc. and that there are no liens on it.
If there is a lien on it you need to make sure the lien is paid off, don't trust the seller to do it. If NC is a state where the bank holds the title, then you need to talk to the bank and get their process for paying off a lien and releasing a title.
You will pay the seller for the RV, taxes get paid to FL when you register it there. You will need top prepare a bill of sale and get it signed by the seller showing the purchase price, that is the amount you will pay taxes on when you register it. Some states have a specific form that the seller needs to sign.
If it was me, it's at least 2 trips to NC. I would go see the unit, see the title, and write up a bill of sale leaving the seller a deposit. Show on the bill of sale what the deposit was and what you will pay on delivery. Take a photo of the seller's drivers license and be sure the name and address matches the title. If it doesn't he doesn't own the RV.
Make arrangements for how and when you will take delivery, pay the balance to the seller, get the title, etc.
Anybody on the forum in the Jax area that can help this guy?
