Hey fam! I stumbled upon something that I think could be helpful for those of us looking to buy or sell a vehicle. It’s a printable Vehicle Bill of Sale template that you can use to make the process a lot smoother.
Check out this template:
Now, I know what you might be thinking - “But I’m not a car dealer, why do I need a bill of sale?” Well, even if you’re just selling to someone you know or buying a car from a friend, it’s always a good idea to have a record of the transaction.
This template is super easy to use - all you have to do is fill in the blanks with your information and you’re good to go! It includes fields for the buyer’s and seller’s information, as well as the make, model, and VIN of the vehicle being sold.
Why do you need a bill of sale?
Here’s the thing - if you don’t have a bill of sale, it can be really difficult to prove that you bought or sold a car if there’s ever any sort of legal dispute. A bill of sale serves as a legal document that shows the transfer of ownership from the seller to the buyer.
Plus, having a bill of sale can protect you from any liability issues that might come up after the sale. For example, if you sell a car to someone and they get in an accident a week later, you don’t want to be held responsible for any damages or injuries.
How to use the template:
Like I mentioned earlier, the template is really easy to use. Here’s how:
- Download the template from this link
- Open the file in your preferred program (it’s a PDF, so you’ll need a reader like Adobe)
- Fill in the blanks with your information (you can type right into the PDF)
- Print out the completed form and sign it
- Have the buyer or seller sign it as well
That’s it! You now have a legally binding document that shows the transfer of ownership. And the best part? You didn’t have to pay a lawyer to draw up a contract!
Final Thoughts:
If you’re in the market to buy or sell a car, I highly recommend using a bill of sale to protect yourself from any legal issues that might come up down the road. And with this template, it’s incredibly easy to do.
Let me know if you have any questions about the process or if you’ve ever used a bill of sale before. I’m always here to help my folks out!
