Sample 1 - Bill of Sale for Vehicle
Note: It's important to realize that the bill of sale is separate and distinct from the transfer of title. Most states do not recognize that a car has actually changed owners until the transfer of title is filed with the Department of Motor Vehicles or a similar state agency.
If the title is not transferred, then the vehicle's seller may still be liable even if they haven't owned the car in months. Just as importantly, the transfer of title is the only document that actually proves vehicle ownership. Clearly, this is something that the buyer will want to deal with immediately.

Sample 2 - Bill of Sale for Car
Note: Various bills of sale can look quite different when compared to each other. Nonetheless, there are certain items of information that will be found on every form.
This information includes vital facts about the car such as the make, model, year, color and vehicle identification number. It's also wise to record the odometer reading and perhaps also the license plate number.

Sample 3 - Bill of Sale for Motorcycle
Note: The form should include a space for the amount of the sale, including whether or not the debt has been fully paid. Frequently, it makes sense to record the sale price in numerals as well as in words to ensure that there are no misunderstandings.
If the buyer still owes money on the car, then the form may stipulate how and when any upcoming payments will be made. It's also essential for both parties to the transaction to sign and date the document.
The seller will also want to include any details regarding warranties or guarantees. Most private parties who are selling a used car do not offer any kind of warranty, and in these cases it is wise to state that the vehicle is sold "as is," so that the seller is protected from most claims
