How To Legally Sell a Vehicle

The rules for each state vary when selling a vehicle. Your state's specific rules can be found at the Department of Motor Vehicles website. Once you receive the money from the buyer, you will write down the odometers mileage reading and sign over the car's title to the buyer.

The next thing you need to do is make out a bill of sale form and make copies for you and the buyer. The bill of sale will include:
1.) The name, address, and phone number of both the buyer and seller
2.) The vehicle's make, model, year, mileage, and VIN number
3.) The conditions of the sale, usually over whether you offer a warrant or the car is sold as is.
4.) Both the buyer's and seller's signatures

You'll also need to fill out and sign any forms you found of the DMV's website that your state requires, which usually include lemon law and smog certification.

Finally you can call your insurance company to cancel your plan, remove the plates and registration tags, and turn over the keys.
