Frequently Asked Questions

A vehicle bill of sale is a legal document that records the sale of a vehicle between a buyer and a seller. It includes important details such as the vehicle's make, model, year, VIN, and the terms of the sale.

Yes, a bill of sale is recommended in Wisconsin as it serves as proof of the transaction and can protect both the seller and buyer in case of disputes.

The promissory note outlines the terms of the installment payments, including the amount financed, payment schedule, interest rate, and any other conditions agreed upon by the buyer and seller.

Yes, the form allows for an 'as is' sale, meaning the seller does not provide any warranties regarding the vehicle's condition. This clause must be clearly stated in the bill of sale.

If the buyer defaults on payments, the seller can refer to the promissory note for legal recourse. This document provides the seller with the necessary terms to pursue collection or repossession.

Yes, federal law requires an odometer disclosure statement to be included when transferring ownership of a vehicle. This protects against odometer fraud and ensures accurate mileage reporting.

The bill of sale should be filled out with accurate information regarding the vehicle, the buyer, and the seller. The included instructions in the form packet will guide you through each section.

While you can modify the terms, it is important to ensure that any changes are clearly documented and agreed upon by both parties to avoid future disputes.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are buying a vehicle and wish to document the terms of the sale can utilize this form to ensure that both parties are protected. This legal documentation helps clarify payment terms and vehicle condition, which is crucial for avoiding disputes in the future.
  • Sellers looking to offer a vehicle on an installment basis will find this form essential. It allows them to outline the payment schedule and terms, ensuring that they have legal recourse if the buyer defaults on payments.
  • In situations where a vehicle is sold 'as is', this form provides the necessary legal framework to communicate that no warranties are implied. This protects the seller from future claims regarding the vehicle's condition after the sale.
  • For those transferring ownership of a vehicle, the included odometer disclosure statement is a legal requirement that must be fulfilled. This ensures compliance with federal laws and protects both parties from potential fraud.
  • Buyers who need to prove ownership for registration or insurance purposes can use this bill of sale as evidence of their purchase. This document serves as an important record in case of any future legal issues regarding the vehicle.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate for vehicles that are being sold for parts only, as it does not cover the necessary legal protections for such transactions. In these cases, a different form may be required.
  • โ€“ If the vehicle has a lien or is under a financing agreement, this form should not be used until the lien is resolved. Selling a vehicle with an outstanding lien can lead to legal complications.
  • โ€“ In situations where the vehicle is being sold to a dealer or as part of a trade-in, this form may not be suitable. Dealerships typically have their own contracts and paperwork for such transactions.
  • โ€“ For vehicles that are not roadworthy or have significant mechanical issues, using this form without proper disclosures could lead to liability for the seller. An 'as is' clause should be carefully considered in these cases.
  • โ€“ If the seller is not the legal owner of the vehicle or does not have the right to sell it, this form cannot be used. Ownership must be clearly established before any sale documentation is completed.
