Indiana Motor Vehicle Bill of Sale Form
An Indiana motor vehicle bill of sale is used to summarize the sale of a vehicle and the change of ownership between parties. When selling a car privately (not through a dealership), the owner often completes a bill of sale and both parties should sign it. The purchase price and date must be included on the form as well as the vehicle’s ID number (VIN), year, make, and model.
