A Bill of Sale is a necessary document to have when selling an item such as a car. This document protects both the buyer and seller from any potential problems that could occur in the future. A bill of Sale must include specific information such as the description of the vehicle, buyer and seller information, the amount of the sale, and other important details. Most Bill of Sales also state that the item being sold is sold 'AS IS', so be sure the description is accurate. Example Bill of Sale I [Seller's Name], in receipt of payment amount of $__________dollars, sell to [Buyer's Name], transferring all title and property rights of:Make/Color:_______________________ Model/Year:_______________________ Vehicle ID #:_______________________ |
I [Buyer's Name] agree to accept the vehicle 'AS IS' and acknowledge that there are no warranties or guarantees other than those stated in this Bill of Sale.
