When selling an automobile or any type of vehicle (truck, van, motorcycle, or trailer), an Automobile/Vehicle Bill of Sale is necessary to document the terms and conditions of the transaction and to protect your rights.

This legal form is also helpful for accounting and tax purposes and includes the make, model, year, mileage, and vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle. The buyer can use an Automobile/ Vehicle bill of sale to help prove ownership of the vehicle.

An Odometer Disclosure Statement is also included in this Automobile/Vehicle Bill of Sale packet since federal law mandates that the seller state the mileage upon transfer of ownership.

These important provisions are included in this Automobile / Vehicle Bill of Sale:

• Consideration paid: This provision states the amount paid for the vehicle and also can be used by the buyer to prove that valuable consideration was paid for the vehicle;
• Seller's and buyer's name / address: Locates and identifies the parties to this sale in the event of a dispute;
• Make/ Model/ Year/ Mileage/ Vehicle identification number: Identifies the vehicle being sold;
