Auto Bill of Sale Forms

Creating your own auto bill of sale form doesn't require an attorney. It's a simple form that anyone can create. Most states require this form to be complete and correct before transferring the title of a vehicle.

Most state's require an auto bill of sale form to show that the vehicle has been legally transferred. The main reason they do this is to check for odometer fraud. One in ten vehicles on the road today have had their odometers tampered with. Odometer fraud is probably the main reason why most state's require an auto bill of sale.

Another reason why auto bill of sales are required is because they record the cost of the vehicle for tax assessment.

When you fill out your auto bill of sale your going to be asked to fill in the odometer reading. This reading shows how many total miles or kilometers that vehicle has driven.

Why is the Odometer Reading Important?

Odometer fraud is a common practice. The Consumer Federation of America surveyed a number of cars and found that about 1 in 10 cars have had their odometer mileage readings altered. To help prevent odometer fraud most states want to know the mileage reading to help identity vehicles who have had their odometer readings altered.
