Drive the car and make an offer if you like it. Have a mechanic inspect it! Payment is between you can the owner. Checks, cash, bank transfers etc. Either the owner or their bank has the title. If the bank holds the title do the transaction there so that you are sure the car is paid off and that you get the title. If the owner holds the title, have them sign it and provide you with a bill of sale. Transfer title at your local DMV office.

One last thing. If your state requires a smog check to transfer title make sure the Owner has it inspected and that it passes! If you buy a car that won't pass smog or has the CEL on you could be in for a world of hurt!
