Bill of Sale

• 1
  
  
  Put the contact information for both the buyer and seller in the first section of the bill of sale. With your blank paper in front of you (or in a word program on your computer) go to the top left portion of the page. In bold letters, designate a column that says "Seller's information." This info includes name, address, phone number and social security number. Directly across the sheet in the top right corner (or underneath) in bold letters, make a column for "Buyer's information." Include name, address, phone number and social security number.

  Put a section titled "Vehicle Information" below the "Seller/Buyer" information. This needs to include the make, model, year, color, VIN number and often the weight of the vehicle. The odometer reading should also be included here. It is wise to include the odometer reading even if the vehicle is more than 10 years old. Vehicle bureaus have different requirements and you can check your local bureau's policies, but for your own information and protection the mileage should be included.

  Go down below the "Vehicle Information" section and designate one called "Payment Details." This will list the purchase price, method of payment and any payment arrangement details. This is also a good area to list anything that should be noted, such as the condition of the vehicle or if there are any repairs that the buyer or seller need to pay for. All of this should be included on this document for your protection and reference.

  Signatures under payment details
  
  Put a section below "Payment Details" called "Signatures." The signatures should have the buyer and seller's names printed underneath them. The names and signatures of at least one witness should appear here also, but is not often a requirement. Again, check with your local motor vehicle bureau to see if it is required. After each signature, include the date of the signing.
