Car receipt

VIN: [VIN]

The VIN stands for “Vehicle Identification Number” which is a unique 17 digit number assigned to every car for identification purposes, much like a social security number.

REGISTRATION #: [REGISTRATION NUMBER]

For a car being sold that has an active registration (i.e., license plate), it should be included on your car receipt, even though the VIN is noted above.

Car Information:

MAKE: [MAKE]
MODEL: [MODEL]
YEAR: [YEAR]
COLOR: [COLOR]
OTHER INFO: [INSERT INFORMATION]

“Make” refers to the manufacturer of the car (e.g., “Honda”) and “Model” refers to the specific model (e.g., “Accord”).

The Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the following items, as indicated by checkmark:

Especially with a car receipt, you want to be incredibly detailed to describe any scratches, non-functioning parts, or other defects as state laws often are very protective of purchasers for defects that were not disclosed prior to purchase. Even if it’s something simple as a button on the radio that doesn’t work, be sure to disclose it.

  • Key
  • Spare Key
  • Door Code [NUMBER]
  • Title, signed over by Seller
  • Owner’s Manual
  • Service History
  • [OTHER]

While some of this section of the car receipt, such as the door code, may not apply to you, it is wise to denote everything that you have given to the purchaser of the car so there is no question later if they claim that they did not receive one thing or another.

The Purchaser has paid, and the seller confirms receipt of [DOLLAR AMOUNT] as payment toward the vehicle described above. There is a balance of[BALANCE DOLLAR AMOUNT] remaining to complete the purchase. [REMAINING DOLLAR AMOUNT] is due and payable on or before[DUE DATE].

The Purchaser and Seller both acknowledge receipt of the deposit being paid toward the vehicle as described herein and acknowledge that as of the date indicated, the entirety of the above is accurate.

[Sender.Company]

Signature

MM / DD / YYYY

[Client.Company]

Signature

MM / DD / YYYY

Although in many cases, a receipt does not need to be signed by any party other than the party that received the money, there are acknowledgements herein that are important to defending the Seller’s rights should there be a dispute at a later date and thus, both parties should sign this car receipt.

FAQ

  • A purchase receipt for a car is a document that proves the sale of a car (or any motor vehicle for that matter) from one party to another. It is applicable to both private purchases and the ones made from a dealership.

  • The items that you need to include in the car's purchase receipt are:

    1. car make and model

    2. car registration number

    3. the price of a vehicle

    4. parties' contact details.


    Both the buyer and seller get a signed copy of the receipt.

  • A car sale receipt and a bill of sale are similar documents. However, a bill of sale is much more detailed in its description of the product. Hence, it is often used in vehicle purchases. A receipt is more informal.
