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 exact odometer reading.
Enter the date of the sale.
Sign your name exactly as it appears on the front of the title.
Crucially, your signature must be notarized. Do not sign the title until you are in the presence of a notary public. Signing it beforehand will void the notarization requirement and complicate the sale.
You cannot legally sell a vehicle without a title in Montana. If yours is lost, stolen, or damaged, you must apply for a replacement title using the Application for Replacement Certificate of Title (Form MV7). If there is a 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.
While the notarized title is the primary legal document, a Bill of Sale is highly recommended and sometimes required by the County Treasurer to calculate registration fees. You should use the official Bill of Sale (Form MV24). This document must include:
The vehicle's year, make, model, and VIN.
The purchase price and date of sale.
The full names and signatures of both the seller and the buyer.
A statement that the vehicle is sold "as-is."
Both parties should keep a signed copy for their records.
No. Montana is one of the few states with no general statewide sales tax on vehicle purchases. Private sellers do not collect sales tax. However, the buyer will be responsible for paying registration fees and any applicable county option taxes to the County Treasurer when they title the vehicle.
No. Montana does not require a safety inspection or emissions testing for private vehicle sales. You are selling the car "as-is," meaning you generally don't have to provide a warranty.
In Montana, the license plates belong to the seller, not the vehicle. You must remove your license plates before the buyer takes possession. Do not let the buyer drive away with your plates. You can transfer them to another vehicle you own or return them to the County Treasurer.
Always meet in a public, well-lit location. The parking lot of a police station, a bank, or a busy shopping center are excellent choices. Avoid meeting at your home if possible. When offering a test drive, always verify the buyer's driver's license and ride along with them.
