How to write a bill of sale for a truck.
Learn what to include when you write a bill of sale for a truck. Whether you download a pre-built one or create your own, having the right bill of sale to sign will ensure a swift and smooth transaction.
A bill of sale is a document that records transaction details. Typically used in private vehicle sales, a bill of sale transfers ownership from the seller to the buyer. Both parties keep a copy for tax purposes, proof of purchase, and transfer of title.
What to include on your truck’s bill of sale.
When you write a bill of sale for a truck, it’s important to have the following information on hand. Make sure to include:
- The truck vehicle identification number (VIN)
- The truck make, model, and year
- Mileage and registration info
- Contact information for the buyer and seller
- Agreed-upon sale price
Review your local laws beforehand as some states require that a new buyer bring along the bill of sale when registering the truck or transferring the title.
