What are the steps to selling a car, paperwork, etc?

Bibi Tyron: bill of sale, transfer of ownership, pink slip.

Tereasa Sorensen: You need to get a bill of sale stating the amount of money the vehicle is being sold for, name address of buy and seller, Vin number of vehicle , you will also need a signature from the buyer and seller and a witness to make it complete, also you should add on sold as is. So nothing can come back to you. After that is complete you get a copy and so does the buyerYou can usually get a bill of sale from the Registries.Cheers...Show more

Shon Almquist: Knowing what state your are in would help. In general, you sign the title in the place marked seller's signature. The buyer signs in the place marked buyer's signature. In some states, the seller's signature has to be notarized. You'll know it yours is one of them by checking the title to see if it has a place for it. Also, most states require you to remove the license plates from the car. You'll need to check with DVM to find out if your! state is one of them.

Ninfa Aronica: just sign over the title to whoever is buying it take off the tags, its their problem now

Charissa Bichsel: You need to call your local DMV and ask them what paper work you would need it varies state to state. When ever I sell a vehicle I already have it when I sell it. It saves my time and theirs.

Luke Creitz: If you owe any money on it to a bank,you will have to get that paid and get a release from them.The release could be either a bank stamp on the title or a letter stating that the bank is no longer has any interest in the vehicle.second step is to get paid for the car,fill in the sellers information,sign the title,remove your plate ,call your insurance company to cancel coverage,and you are done.

Caroyln Ebach: depends.... who you sell it too i guess. Dealership then they'll tell you what they want from you such as the certificate of ownership/bill of sale. And you'll have to sign it. Some people write lett! ers stating that you purchase the car as is and make you sign ! your name....But the basic way to do this is get the money from them and give them your certificate of ownership/bill of sale and make all signature that needs to be signed, signed.Make copies of this to show proof to your insurance company on your car that this car has been sold so that you dont need to make anymore payments.PS it may be nice to write a letter saying they bought the car as is...be descriptive so that there wont be any lawsuits and make them sign it. Make copies for both parties....Show more
