Have you thought about what you are going to give your Valentine this year? It can be a difficult decision, especially if that person is special and important to you. However, have you ever thought about giving your loved one a car? Make this amazing gift a reality by taking the right steps for a great surprise.
If you have been saving up money over the years, now may be the right time to purchase a new vehicle. Having the ability to afford such a large gift is only the beginning of this plan. Your end goal is to have the car wrapped in a big bow, parked in the driveway. Here are some tips on how to reach this picturesque ending:
• A bill of sale is usually required. Other required documents include a recent appraisal of the vehicle to determine its value, the original title of the car, and an indication of the mileage if the car is used.
• When filling out the bill of sale, indicate that the car is going to be a gift. Keep in mind that you may still have to pay sales tax on the car.
• A down payment may be necessary.
• After giving the gift, decide who will be making the payments.
• Whoever will be paying off the vehicle, he/she will need to contact the financing company for a credit check and verification of a credit score.
Giving the gift of a car to another person requires navigating the proper paperwork.
