Car sale agreement template
A private vehicle sale with nothing in writing leaves both sides exposed. This template records the vehicle, the price, its stated condition and the date ownership transfers — the facts that matter if anything is disputed afterwards.
Who uses this template
Private sellers
You are selling a vehicle and want a signed record that it was sold as described, on a specific date, in the condition stated.
Private buyers
You want the price, the odometer reading and the seller's declarations recorded rather than agreed verbally.
Small dealers and traders
You need a consistent, repeatable sale record for straightforward transactions.
What the template covers
Every section below is already drafted in the document, with placeholders marking the details you need to fill in.
Buyer and seller details
Full names and addresses of both parties, so the agreement identifies who is actually bound by it.
Vehicle description
Make, model, year, registration, VIN and odometer reading at the point of sale.
Purchase price and payment
The agreed price, the payment method, and any deposit already paid.
Condition and as-is sale
The vehicle's stated condition and any known defects disclosed by the seller.
Transfer of ownership
The date and time possession and ownership pass to the buyer.
Signatures
Space for both parties to sign and date, which is what turns the record into an agreement.
