Start listing your car for sale privately on KarKiosk by entering your vehicles VIN or License Plate number
To make your listing as attractive as possible, upload high quality and clear photos. Don't forget to include a description of the condition of the vehicle, how you have used it, etc.
You want to have your vehicle title and other required documents. Each state has different documentation when selling your used vehicle, so be sure to look into that ahead of time!
You will be able to track incoming offers all in one place, and will be able to accept, rebut or counter offers from inside the KarKiosk platform. Plus, when you find a buyer or an offer that you like, you can schedule a test drive from within KarKiosk
The buyer, generally, will want to test drive your car. Eliminate the long tedious text reply back and forth - utilize scheduling to quickly figure out a good time and location for the test drive.
When you have sold your car, make sure to get the correct paperwork in order, you will need to transfer your vehicle title and any other documents based upon state requirements. Don't forget to cancel your insurance.
To transfer ownership, you must complete the "Assignment of Title" section on the back of your Certificate of Title. You need to:
Enter the buyer's full legal name and address.
Fill in the date of the sale.
Enter the current odometer reading (required for vehicles under 20 years old).
Enter the selling price.
Sign and print your name exactly as it appears on the front of the title.
Do not use white-out, erase, or cross out information. Any alterations will void the title. If you make a mistake, you must apply for a duplicate title.
This is one of the most important steps for private sellers in Idaho. After selling the car, you should file a Notice of Release of Liability (ITD 3858). You can do this online or by mail, and there is a small filing fee ($3.50). This document officially notifies the state that you no longer own the vehicle, protecting you from liability for any accidents, traffic tickets, or towing fees incurred by the new owner.
You cannot sell a vehicle without a title in Idaho. If your title is lost or damaged, you must apply for a duplicate using Form ITD 3367 (Duplicate Idaho Title Application). If there is an active lien on the vehicle, you must pay off the loan first. The lender will then release the lien, allowing you to obtain a clear title to sign over to the buyer.
Yes. A Bill of Sale is required to serve as a receipt and proof of the transaction. You should use the official Bill of Sale (ITD 3738) form. It must include:
A description of the vehicle (year, make, model, VIN).
The selling price and date of sale.
The full names and signatures of both the seller and the buyer.
Keep a copy for your records; the buyer will need the original to register the vehicle.
No. Private sellers do not collect sales tax in Idaho. The buyer is responsible for paying the 6% state sales tax directly to the county assessor's office (DMV) when they title and register the vehicle in their name.
No. Idaho does not require a statewide safety inspection for private vehicle sales. Additionally, as of July 2023, the emissions testing program in Ada and Canyon counties has ended. This means no emissions testing is required anywhere in the state to sell your car.
In Idaho, the license plates belong to the seller, not the vehicle. You must remove your license plates before the buyer takes possession of the car. You can then transfer these plates to another vehicle you own or simply keep them. Do not let the buyer drive away with your plates attached.
