Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • For those looking to sell their vehicle, this form is vital in establishing the sale price and confirming that the seller has the legal right to sell the vehicle. It helps prevent disputes by documenting the agreed-upon terms and the identities of both parties involved.
  • When transferring ownership of a vehicle, an Odometer Disclosure Statement is legally required. This form ensures compliance with federal regulations regarding mileage disclosure, protecting both parties from potential fraud.
  • In cases where a vehicle is being sold as-is, having a Bill of Sale can clarify that the buyer accepts the vehicle's condition at the time of sale. This protects the seller from future claims regarding the vehicle's performance or issues.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for vehicles that are being sold for parts or salvage. In such cases, a different type of documentation may be required to comply with local regulations.
  • – If the vehicle has an outstanding lien or is financed, using this form without addressing the lien could lead to legal complications. It is essential to resolve any financial obligations before completing the sale.
  • – In situations where the seller is not the legal owner of the vehicle, this form should not be used. The seller must have the legal right to sell the vehicle to avoid potential fraud or disputes.
