Bill of Sale Contents

Bill of sale is actually a relatively simple document that contains significant details that would later on prove useful to you and the other party involved in the sale. Some states would require different things in their bill of sale. Some states don’t even require the said documents. On the other hand as a consumer, you must know how important this document is and how it can serve as a proof that when the sale of the vehicle took place, you are indemnified from anything illegal that may have been done on the vehicle prior or after you owning it.

Bill of sale year 1800
Did you know that there were bills of sale for slaves in 18th century?

Here are the details usually expected off the document:

Names or those involved
This is of course needed to make sure that all those involved in the sale of the vehicle. This should include other minor details about both parties like age, and the address of each individual (and or a company whichever the case may be).

Odometer reading
This is very important since this will determine the mileage of the vehicle at the time it was sold. Billions of dollars are lost from consumers from fraudulent odometer reading. This would make it seem that the car has lesser mileage which is going to make the car more expensive. If an investigation is launched and you do not have any proof that you are not a part of the fraudulent act then you could be facing some serious criminal offense.

VIN
VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is also very important since we have already covered the details of the parties involved in the sale; we should not forget the details of vehicle that is being sold. This should include the vehicle identification number as well as other identifying marks of the car.

Formal transfer of ownership
Since this is a very straightforward document but it would be helpful if the same document can be used to transfer the ownership of the vehicle. Since mostly the bill of sale is actually a notarized document, this can be used in court as evidence.

This document can now be submitted to the DMV as part of the vehicle history of the car in question. This is a requirement for the comprehensive reference of your car and it may be required later on for insurance in case you would end up having to file a claim. If you are having trouble finding the format of the document then you can download it online. You might want to be careful in case your state has a more specific idea of how a bill of sale should look like.

Passing the DMV Written Test


If you look at recent studies, you may be surprised how many people fail their first attempt with the DMV licensing written examination. In order for you to pull this off, refer to the ones that you are going to get when you submit your application. The very first thing that you are able is the driver’s manual. In theory this should be more than enough to help you pass the written exam. The challenge is that no all people are really that inclined to read. This is why a number of other companies are more than willing to remedy such situation. There are a number of approaches done on this and you can explore each one that would fit your need.

It is tedious enough to apply for your driver’s license let alone taking the test all over again. Here are some things that you can look into to help you ease your way into passing the DMV written exam:

Consider other references

Look at what’s in the bookstores. You may be able to find a book that explains the exam a bit more so you don’t have to be surprised or wonder what the real exam could be. A certain number of individuals do say that they had failed the exam because they did not expect the test to be set in such way that they ended up flunking it.

Attend classes

There are of course classes that you can go to in order to review with other people who are looking into passing their written exams. If you are more used to the traditional classroom setting then this may be the setup for you. There are driving schools that offer these types of classes and some of which are even sanctioned by the local DMV. The problem is that you would have to set aside some time for you to attend the classes.

Go Online

This is where you can really hit gold. You should be able to find a number of downloadable items (some of which you may be required to pay for). There may also be some more interactive ways for you to go through your review for the written exam. This time around you can do your review when you have the time. You can do this after work or maybe even late into the night when you think that you mental faculties are in its height in performance.
