Yes, federal law requires that the seller disclose the vehicle's mileage at the time of sale. This statement is included in the Bill of Sale packet to ensure compliance.

Yes, the form allows you to sell the vehicle 'as is', meaning you are not providing any warranties regarding its condition. This clause protects the seller from future claims about the vehicle's state.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are selling their vehicle and wish to receive payments over time can utilize this form to formalize the transaction. It ensures that both parties are clear on the terms of the sale, including payment schedules and vehicle condition.
  • Situations requiring the transfer of vehicle ownership while providing a warranty or selling 'as is' can benefit from this legal document. This form allows sellers to specify the condition of the vehicle and protects them from future claims regarding its state.
  • To comply with federal law, sellers must disclose the odometer reading at the time of sale. This form includes an Odometer Disclosure Statement, which helps sellers meet legal requirements and protects buyers from potential fraud.
  • For those purchasing a vehicle through installment payments, this form provides a structured agreement outlining the payment terms and conditions. It helps ensure that both the buyer and seller understand their obligations, reducing the risk of disputes.
  • Buyers looking to prove ownership of a vehicle after purchase can use the Bill of Sale as a legal document. This is particularly useful for registration purposes and for establishing proof in case of any future legal issues regarding ownership.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate for transactions involving vehicles that are not legally owned by the seller. If the seller does not hold the title or ownership rights, the sale cannot be legally executed.
  • โ€“ In cases where the vehicle is being sold for parts or not in operational condition, a different type of agreement may be necessary. This form assumes the vehicle is in a condition suitable for sale.
  • โ€“ If the buyer is not making payments and intends to pay the full amount upfront, a simpler Bill of Sale without a Promissory Note may suffice. The installment payment structure is not needed in such cases.
  • โ€“ For vehicles that are being sold through a dealership or third-party service, this form may not be suitable. Dealerships typically have their own standardized forms and processes for vehicle sales.
  • โ€“ If the transaction involves a vehicle that has significant legal issues, such as being reported stolen or having unresolved liens, this form should not be used until those issues are resolved.
