Buying or Selling > Selling
When you are privately selling your vehicle, you and the buyer should fill out the Transfer of Ownership (TOD) document together. You should also provide a written bill of sale describing the vehicle's year, make, model, and serial number--and note the agreed selling price, too.
Write up two bills of sale, one for each of you, and make sure you and the buyer sign both copies.
You will also need to either provide the buyer with your valid Certificate of Inspection (COI) or inform them they will need to have the vehicle inspected before they can register and insure it.
NOTE: The onus is on the purchaser of a vehicle to produce a valid COI to register and insure the vehicle. But, getting the vehicle inspected before you sell it can be an excellent selling feature.
