What documents and computer scan tool for a used vehicle?

[Dave the Rave 4]

I will buy a used vehicle from a private party in the near future.  Can anyone comment regarding what documents I should receive and what to look out for on the documents?  Also, I want to scan the computer codes on the vehicle.  Does anyone know where I can buy a relatively cheap scanner in Cebu?

I believe what you should get is a notarized bill of sale with the complete description of the vehicle including VIN and engine number.  Probably 2 originals to be safe.  The current OR/CR and the CR should be signed.  And a couple copies of the sellers 2 IDs with 3 original signatures on each copy.  Of course, the names all need to match.

I bought an OBD 2 transmitter on Lazada for like p250 or something.  It connects to my phone via bluetooth.  There are various free apps for reading the codes.
