Frequently Asked Questions

This packet includes a Bill of Sale, a Promissory Note, an Odometer Disclosure Statement, and step-by-step instructions for completing the forms. Each document is designed to protect the rights of both the buyer and seller.

While dealerships often provide their own documentation, having a Bill of Sale is still advisable. It serves as a clear record of the transaction and can be used for registration and tax purposes.

'As is' means that the seller is not providing any warranties regarding the vehicle's condition. The buyer accepts the vehicle with all existing faults, which can limit the seller's liability after the sale.

Yes, federal law requires sellers to disclose the vehicle's mileage at the time of sale. This statement helps prevent odometer fraud and ensures transparency in the transaction.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are purchasing a vehicle through installment payments will find this form essential. It ensures that both the buyer and seller are clear on the payment terms and protects their rights during the transaction.
  • Situations requiring the sale of a vehicle 'as is' can benefit from this form. Sellers can use it to clearly state that they are not providing any warranties, thus limiting their liability after the sale.
  • For those needing to document the mileage of a vehicle at the time of sale, this form includes an Odometer Disclosure Statement. This is crucial for compliance with federal regulations and protects both parties from potential disputes regarding the vehicle's condition.
  • Buyers looking to establish proof of ownership will find this form useful. The detailed information included, such as the vehicle identification number and sellerโ€™s information, helps in registering the vehicle with the state.
  • Sellers wanting to ensure they are legally protected against future claims can utilize this form. It includes covenants that warrant the seller's ownership and the absence of liens, providing peace of mind during the transaction.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate for vehicle sales involving a dealership. Dealerships typically have their own standardized forms and legal protections in place that differ from private sales.
  • โ€“ If the vehicle is being sold for parts only, a Bill of Sale may not be necessary. In such cases, a simple receipt may suffice, as the transaction does not involve a complete vehicle sale.
  • โ€“ In situations where the buyer is not making any payments and is instead receiving the vehicle as a gift, this form is not needed. A gift transfer may require different documentation.
  • โ€“ If the vehicle has significant legal issues, such as being stolen or having unresolved liens, this form should not be used until those issues are resolved. Legal counsel may be necessary in such cases.
  • โ€“ In cases where the vehicle is being sold in a state other than Washington, this form may not meet the legal requirements of that state. It's important to use forms compliant with local laws.
