Selling a car.

[Lamboguy]

I am looking to buy a new car in the future and will have to sell mine. I've never actually had a car paid off that I sold to a private owner. Where can I find information on what exactly I'd have to do to complete the sale. The only thing I know is getting a check and doing something with the title. What else is there?

I've never actually sold a car, so I couldn't say. Our cars either fall apart and end up in the junkyard, or else we end up giving them away. Hope you can find help, here!

There is not much else. Be sure you write on the receipt "As-Is" that way you are not liable if something happens to the vehicle after its sold.

Exactly! Most people tend to forget that and end up having issues later when they get sued for something. I have sold a few before, never had any issues. Do you know where you are getting the new car at yet?

I didn't even know about the "as-is" thing. Well I'm looking to upgrade back to a new Nissan Altima like I had before, so I'll probably go to the actual Nissan dealer. I'm not sure though, because I need to see how much the payments would be and how much I'll put down. I'm not doing it just yet, I'm looking around for deals.

When my dad sold a car, he just signed the title and had the buyer sign it, and wrote out a bill of sale that listed the price the guy paid. He made two copies of the bill of sale so they would each have one, gave the guy the car and title, and that was it.
